ContemporaryAThon Wrap Up
Day One: Monday, February 12, 2018 This week is pretty busy, but I’m definitely hoping I can make it through my TBR for this week, partially because I’m really excited about the books on my TBR and partially because I want to win. You know. Because winning a readathon is obviously a thing. Anyway, Brooklynaire…

The Liebster Award
Thank you so much to Dani from Dani’s Bookshelf for nominating/tagging me for The Liebster Award. There are eleven questions so let’s hop to it! 1. Do you collect anything when you travel?

The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton Spoiler Free Review

It’s a month long readathon, sort of, but really it’s just making sure that you’re specifically picking up books that are celebrating women and feminism. While I have specifically chosen a TBR that focuses on black women writers I do…

January Wrap Up, Part Two
While I didn’t manage to read all of the books on my TBR (I didn’t even touch All the Light We Cannot See), I still feel like I’m relatively on track with my 2018 goals. Sure, I’m behind on my 18 books to read in 2018 list, but I’ve got the whole year! And February…

February TBR
February in the United States is Black History Month and so this month I’m going to do my best to read as many of the nineteen unread books I own by black authors as possible. It’s also Feminist Lit February, which I’ll have a separate post about later (see ItsJaneLindsey’s videos on YouTube for more…
