Year-end Wrap Up
I did it you guys! I read 12 books this year. While that doesn’t seem like a lot, considering I read a lot more before, I am proud of myself because I hadn’t made reading a priority in the years after completing grad school. I didn’t exactly read one book per month though, some months…

Tomi Adeyemi: Children of Virtue & Vengeance
My last full read of the year! I read Blood & Bone earlier this year and loved it so I couldn’t wait for the second book in this series to come out. Children of Virtue and Vengeance was released December 3rd, a week later I picked it up at my local library. I was very…

Walidah Imarisha & Adrienne Maree Brown: Octavia’s Brood

Candice Carty-Williams: QUEENIE
Queenie Queenie Queenie…. The was the first book that the entire book club group enjoyed, even those who hadn’t read it all the way through. It was highly entertaining….and so, so cringy.

Writing Journal: What If I Never Have a Project Published?
I was thinking last week about one of many projects I’m working on. There have been several times that I go back over something I’ve written and love the “sound” of my writing voice. But then the wheels get to turning and I wonder if anyone else loves my writing voice. Let’s be honest, I…
