Happy Thursday! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these, mostly because the group itself is on hiatus, but also because of my unofficial hiatus for most of the second half of last year. Because I’m traveling right now, I decided to do one of these this week instead of a more… Continue reading Book Traveling Thursdays: Dawn (Xenogenesis, #1) by Octavia E. Butler
Happy early Valentine’s day! It’s Tuesday, so you know what Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl‘s got planned for us…another Top Ten Tuesday! This week is a Top Ten freebie (“anything about love”), so I’m using this chance to highlight some outstanding contemporary romance representation. Almost all of these are young adult, as that’s my area of expertise,… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Feeling the Contemporary Love
Sunday, the start of the week for some, last day to scramble for a solid end of the week for others. I’m going to try and be a busy bee this morning, getting writing for the blog (and my physics homework) done on time, before hanging out with my good pal over at the local… Continue reading Standalone Sunday: Dear Martin by Nic Stone
Saturday, the second, snazzier Friday of the week. The day when all the fun happens, and before you know it, you’ve been at the library for four hours straight and they’re making you go home because the library is only open until 5 on the weekends, which means you can go to Target and continue… Continue reading What Would That Villain Read? Book Tag
Happy Friday, bloggers! Man, thank goodness for Fridays. I don’t know what I would do without a respite at the end of the week, a chance to decompress and do something more than the standard 9-5 drill. Not that I’ve been doing much of that lately (on the job hunt!) but somehow, Friday still manages… Continue reading The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton (ARC)
Happy Thursday! I’m amazed and proud of myself for posting almost every day this week, and I really hope I can keep this momentum going. I have a full review of The Belles coming tomorrow, a book tag on Saturday, and another Standalone Sunday the day after … who is this writing fiend, and where… Continue reading Diversity Spotlight Thursday: BHM Edition
Happy Wednesday! For this week’s Mid-Week Mini Review, I had to highlight Dhonielle Clayton & Sona Charaipotra’s debut book about the hidden, vicious cruelty inside the world of competitive ballet. As a former ballerina, this novel definitely exposed the harsh and bitter side of professional dancing for those who are unfamiliar with the struggle of… Continue reading Mid-Week Mini Review: Tiny Pretty Things by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton
Happy Tuesday! I honestly just noticed that this long-standing tag moved locations, but I’m very excited to see what happens next at its new home with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. As you all have probably picked up on, I’m going to be highlighting books by Black authors exclusively for the entire month of February… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Have Been On My TBR the Longest and I Still Haven’t Read
Happy Black History Month, bloggers! Like last year, my goal for the next four weeks is to spotlight novels by Black authors during the entire month of February, and what a start this novel was. We’re barely into February and already we’re seeing some serious contenders for 2018 favorites overall. As always, Standalone Sunday is a feature created… Continue reading Standalone Sunday: The Beauty That Remains by Ashley Woodfolk (ARC)
Happy New Year, bloggers! I’m a few days and many hours late with this, but writing has not been my strong suit these past few months, and honestly putting a new number at the end of my journal entries isn’t really helping with that. This year, instead of re-attempting my failed 2017 goal of writing… Continue reading 2017 End of the Year Book Survey
