The Belles by Dhonielle Clayton Spoiler Free Review
The cover of The Belles is almost as beautiful as the prose contained in the pages within. Dhonielle Clayton is not only an incredible advocate, she’s also a brilliant writer. I don’t love overly descriptive writing as a rule. Nathaniel Hawthorne waxing poetic about the roses outside of Hester’s prison for PAGES? Hard pass. Dhonielle…

It’s also Feminist Lit February, which I’ll have a separate post about later (see ItsJaneLindsey’s videos on YouTube for more…

Biannual Bibliothon Wrap Up
I really love readathons and challenging myself to follow a TBR. This time I would give myself a 30% on willingness to follow my TBR, which is hilarious because I gave myself options on several challenges. I “live” blogged throughout the week so here is how my week went! Day One: Saturday, January 20, 2018…
