Perhaps the best book I’ve ever read on Feminism

Hood Feminism by Mikki Kendall

by Leave a Comment

I feel very confident in saying this book is going to be the best book I read in January. It was absolutely wonderful and I have devoured it. I started listening to it one evening, and when I next looked at the clock 6 hours had passed, it was 3 in the morning and the book was over. This is high praise, especially for non-fiction titles. Mikki Kendall takes the time in this book to break down in clear essays some of deeper issues of […]

Rainbow Rowell does COVID (with a dash of love)

If the Fates Allow by Rainbow Rowell

by Leave a Comment

Somehow, despite Rainbow Rowell being my favorite author, I was unaware of this story’s existence. But, in scouring through all the Rainbow Rowell reviews on here, just out of curiosity, I noticed plenty of reviews for this, discovered it was about Reagan from Fangirl, and decided I had to join in on the fun. If the Fates Allow picks up with Reagan during COVID times. Turns out she’s like my fiancee if  she were far rougher around the edges. Seeing Reagan go to such great […]

Spoiler Alert

They Both Die At the End by Adam Silver

by 2 Comments

This book has such an intriguing concept but, in my opinion, falls totally flat in execution. I feel like its important to note that I am a BOOK CRIER. I cried at almost every book I’ve read this year. I cry at commercials where like grandpas learn English to talk to their new grandkids or any lesbians get married or literally anything with a dog. I am SO EASILY manipulated into crying. I did not cry at this book where our two main characters DIE. […]

Home Is a Lonely, Wind-Lashed Isle

The Lost Lights of St Kilda by Elisabeth Gifford

‘I had no idea where we were headed, no idea what lay before us. All I knew was I was ready to travel the length and breadth of France if the world would give me one more chance to spend one more hour with you – to say I’m sorry.’ In 1927, Cambridge student Fred ends up on the remote Scottish island of St Kilda to study the local rock formations and falls in love with Chrissie, a local woman. Thirteen years later, he is […]

Popcorn, but gourmet popcorn

The Hawthorne Legacy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

by 2 Comments

There’s Serious Literature, and then there’s beach reads – popcorn. But sometimes that popcorn is better than average, it’s got a little something extra to elevate it, and that, my friends, is gourmet popcorn. And gourmet popcorn is exactly what The Hawthorne Legacy delivers. As book 2 in a planned trilogy, we pick up only a week or so after book 1, The Inheritance Games, concludes. Our main character, Avery Grambs, is still living at Hawthorne House with the four Hawthorne brothers, and still trying […]

Like a big, warm, adventure hug

The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow

by Leave a Comment

January Scaller has never quite fit in anywhere.In the early 1900s, she is a mixed-race almost-orphan. She lives with her enormously wealthy guardian, Mr. Locke, in his house full of treasures, while her father travels the world seeking curiosities for Mr. Locke’s collections. January is an inbetween kind of person, not fitting in fully anywhere, but largely insulated from her own otherness by Mr. Locke’s wealth and status. And then, January finds a book. The book tells the story of doors – doors between worlds, […]
