ARC Reviews: Twice in a Blue Moon and Lush Money
I don’t know what’s been going on with my Netgalley blessings, but let’s not question it and instead thank Netgalley, Gallery Books, and Carina Press for the opportunity to read Twice in a Blue Moon and Lush Money in advance of their release. I was hoping to have these ARC reviews posted last Tuesday, just

The Write Escape and Royal Holiday ARC Reviews
I was fortunate enough to receive advanced copies of The Write Escape by Charish Reid and Royal Holiday by Jasmine Guillory and instead of writing two separate reviews, I thought I would thank Dani for not only sending me her advanced copy of Royal Holiday, but also the idea to just do an ARC round

Well Met by Jen DeLuca: A Spoiler Free Review
Well Met by Jen DeLuca is a Renaissance Faire set rom-com that hits all the right notes. Emily is in a small Maryland (I think) town (that is extraordinarily homogeneous, aka it’s all white people) because her sister, April, was in a bad car accident and needs help getting to appointments and taking care of

Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure Spoiler Free Review
As you may know, Courtney Milan is one my absolute favorite authors and I think she’s also an amazing person. I am so lucky to be on her ARC team, but also she’s an auto-buy author for me so this one has already hit my Kindle by the time this review posts. Anyway, I’m telling

After the Wedding: A Spoiler Free Review
I was going to write this review on Sunday, but the words just wouldn’t come because I was too busy wondering where the third book in the series is going to go. So of course, this led me to Courtney Milan’s website, which led to me re-reading the excerpt for Find Me she has posted,

Book Discussion: An American Marriage (Spoiler Free-Ish)
Let me begin by acknowledging that this book is beautifully written and that Oprah selected it as her first book club pick of 2018. So now we’re agreed that it’s well-written and that a lot of people are going to enjoy it, right? Great. Now we can jump into the multitude of reasons I didn’t

Spoiler Free Review: American Panda
I’ve started writing this review numerous times and just can’t figure out how to do so. If you’ve been following along with my blog, you know that I’ve been anticipating American Panda for a little while now and I think I let my expectations get the better of me. It also could have just been

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

Love, Hate, and Other Filters Review
Before I begin, allow me to direct you to some reviews by Muslim reviewers because I think it’s important for you to see how Own Voices reviewers experienced this Own Voices novel. Fadwa’s post is here and she gave the book five stars and replicated the cover in the most brilliantly perfect way, which you

Wrong to Need You: A Spoiler Free Review
Alisha Rai delivered again. Wrong to Need You was a fantastic follow up to one of my favorite books of 2017. I will forever and always appreciate Rai’s stories with main characters dealing with mental health issues and finding love because we deserve that. I am also here for female friendship and sisterhood. So shout
