Today's episode is extra special, we got to hang out with one of a kind Ayana Gray, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Beasts of Prey trilogy and I, Medusa! We have covered ALL of Ayana's books on the podcast so far, and we were trying really hard not to fangirl too much (especially Bela, oh …
In this week’s episode of Bookmergency, we’re talking all about I, Medusa by Ayana Gray narrated by the talented Tyla Collier and A'rese Emokpae. This book is a bold and beautifully retelling of one of the most iconic figures in Greek mythology: Medusa! Centered on Meddy’s voice, this story blends …
