End-of-season WNBA challenge results: Sky top the league in success rate, Valkyries make a late-season push, Fire and Dream finish with the most per game. Stands/supported are not official distinctions (both are unsuccessful challenges) but I think it can be useful.

A 1983 Ethiopian novel, that was banned in its publication, and saw its author disappeared by the regime, has been translated into English for the first time in 2025. My review of “Oromay”: Truth at the Point of Occlusion — anenduringromantic.wordpress.com/2025/05/05/t...

Oromay follows a journalist who is head of propaganda for the Red Star campaign. While in Asmara as his misgivings about the campaign grow he confronts the horrors of war. The book was swiftly banned for its depiction of the Derg regime. The author went missing thereafter.

Birthday book haul! 🥰 My husband got me a copy of Àyànmó, that cover is so gorgeous!! I'm super curious about Oromay & the disappearance of the author. Girma's story sounds extremely chilling. Kintu has been on my list for too long! Excited to read these. #BlackBookSky
