    Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai Book Talk

    I thought I didn’t like second chance tropes, but turns out I just really don’t like them when they’re done poorly or the lead reminds me of my ex-boyfriend. What I’m say is that I went into Hate to Want You a little nervous and then I LOVED it so much. So if you’re putting…

    Graphic Novel August Wrap Up

    Aside from reading The Watchmen in high school at the behest of my then boyfriend and flipping through Archie comics while waiting in line at grocery stores, I’ve never read a graphic novel.

    Historical Romance Novels for When You Need to Run From Your Problems

    7 in 7 Readathon Wrap Up

    I succeeded, y’all! Not so much at reading everything on my TBR because the longer I reflected on what happened in Charlottesville, the more convinced I became that I needed to be reading people of color for this readathon, especially women of color.
