While not every book I read this month was historic fiction, it sure felt like that was what I was drawn to! I ended up picking up four different novels that had historical fiction elements, and there were all AMAZING.
Only two books this year have earned five star reviews from me, and I don't think it's a coincidence that both have been from African American authors, and both have been tackling hard issue of being black in a white America.
I love rereading books! I often find that when I revisit a book after a few years, I find new things to connect to and new details I missed out on the first go round. This is a list of ten books that I love rereadng and will definitely reread in the future!
It's hard to find the time to review every book I read, and it's even harder to find the motivation when a book isn't spectacular or noteworthy or made me think or made me hate it. So, this mini-review roundup was born. (February 2018)
In The Light We Lost by Jill Santopolo, Lucy is torn between two different loves of her life: Gabe, the reckless photographer, and Darren, the steady man. Her struggle to decide where she should lay her path teaches her more about herself than she expected. This is The Light We Lost review.
This year could not have gotten off to a better start! I read so many good, diverse books.... books that will stick with me for a long time. Fiction, nonfiction, YA, adult -- the gang's all here!
I'm cheating a little bit, because Top Ten Tuesday used this topic ages ago. But I already wrote about this week's Top Ten Tuesday topic (My 2018 Reading Goals) and I haven't written about books that I really, truly love in a while, so here we are!
I get a mild feeling of panic every time someone asks me to recommend books to them. I want to just direct them here, to the safe space where all of my thoughts and feelings are already laid out, where they can read my thoughts on the books before they pick them up.
