My Book Blogging Journey: Year Four
Four years. Four! This is my fourth year of sharing my book reviews. And I still love it. Though I've also learned quite a bit as well, like, despite the fact that reviews get less interaction and interest than anything other posts, I still am here for that. I'll post a couple challenges and my… Continue reading My Book Blogging Journey: Year Four

Well, we're weeks into 2021, but better late than never getting this post up, right?

Intentionally Decolonizing My Reading
I've written and re-written this post in my head. There are so many words, but in the end, this is what it comes down to: Black Lives Matter. Read Black authors. Non-fiction AND fiction. There is much to learn, yes, but also much Black joy and Black art to support and love. There are so… Continue reading Intentionally Decolonizing My Reading

Top Ten Reads of 2019!
I was looking back for my previous "favorite books of the year" posts before writing this one, just to see, and realized that apparently I didn't even start it until last year (2018)! So I guess I won't be trying to post any "best of the decade" lists, because I just know, without anything to… Continue reading Top Ten Reads of 2019!
Reading Women Challenge 2020
First of all, Happy New Year's Eve! New Year's is my favorite holiday for many reasons, but the feeling of starting fresh is definitely high on the list. I'm really excited for that this year, as 2019 was a tough one for us. Onwards and, hopefully, upwards - amirite?! Anyways, last year I created my… Continue reading Reading Women Challenge 2020
My Book Blogging Journey: Year Two
I started this wrap-up post last year, after my very first year of blogging, and loved seeing all my stats visually. Plus, it gave me real guidance on what diversity "holes" I needed to fill in for the following year's reading.

Top Ten Reads of 2018!
Happy New Year Everybody! I almost made this post on time, but I struggled SO hard narrowing my Top Ten list down to an actual ten books (I was stuck at fifteen and kept going back and forth). But I'm here to say that I'd rather be a day late than not be happy with… Continue reading Top Ten Reads of 2018!
