Recent Reads: Audiobook Edition || Mini Reviews of Books by BIPOC
The first week of September was a week of many audiobooks. I was in a real mood to read, but I also was not in the mood to sit down and concentrate on printed pages. I decided to read a bunch of books that had been on my TBR for awhile and were 5-9 hoursRead More
August 2020 Wrap-Up || A Few Five-Stars

August Romance Reads Ranked
August was the month that I got super into reading romance for the first time. I read a total of 5 romance books, which is a lot for me considering that I was never very interested in the genre. I owe it all to reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown last month and my obsessionRead More

Super Specific “Tropes” || The Deity and The Damsel
I’m not really one to be super reflective about the types of books that I like to read, so it’s rare that I figure out something I specifically like in a book.

Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff || A Jim Crow Era Horror
Lovecraft Country is an interesting mix of genres that has been adapted for television by Jordan Peele.
