Bring a snack, a beverage, or just some good ol’ conversation. I will be on YouTube doing LIVE reading and productivity sprints August 4-6, 2023.

Phew. These chapters were something else y’all. Daisy is continuously dragging the Wiggins family name through the mud and Oswald finally makes his first on-page appearance. How much can Maggie continue to bear before she completely cracks under the pressure?

Beautifully written, Okra Stew: A Gullah Geechee Family Celebration is heartwarming, and compelling, and shines throughout with themes of family and food, and their emphasis on passing down cultural traditions.

Scrolling through social media has its perks. Now and then I stumble on something that inspires me to share my thoughts and experiences with you all. The post that inspired this blog post is from the Grand Central Publishing Facebook Page and it poses this question: If you could read a book for the first time again, what book would you pick?

If you aren’t following me, I’ll have you know that I’ve been taking my time to post more regularly on YouTube. Clap. Clap. Clap.

Happy Hump Day and welcome to the WWW Wednesday post for January 25, 2023!

Unsurprisingly, after experiencing failure at the first bar, Hubert remains hopeful. It’s moments like these that display how supportive Hubert is, but I cannot help but wonder if he’s only being supportive because it further protects him and his secret. What say you?

This year is my year of ARCs, and in the excitement of receiving something in exchange for an honest review, I went a little overboard and committed to many.

Annie tries out for the cheerleading squad because her school resume is far from well-rounded. She’s academically inclined, but her prickly personality makes it hard to build friendships. And then there’s Bebe, a transgender teen, navigating life in her truth as she balances dealing with her overprotective parents and wading through uncomfortable situations with her classmates and teammates. 

Get your tissue ready. Underneath the Sycamore Tree is a heartbreaking exploration of reinforcing familial relationships heavily strained by invisible diseases and the harsh realities of them when someone is diagnosed with one.

Coughing, congestion and Christmas cooties got me in a chokehold. Reading is literally the least I can do next to mandatory napping. When I’m awake and not reading, I’m watching shows with ‘demon’ in the title. I wonder what that says about me.

February, the Month of Love, was my Month of Meh. I had some decent reads, but I wasn’t wowed. It was a pretty mediocre month of reading for me.
