Here we go! Delayed as always, but at least in the first month of the year. My FAVORITE READS OF 2022 LIST is finalized. 'Twas a struggle this year, if I'm being honest. I have some *major* standouts, and then quite a few second tier favorites that all could have made this list. I believe,… Continue reading Top “Ten” Reads of 2022!

Top “Ten” Reads of 2021!
As per usual, my top reads of the year list is getting published at the end of the first month of the following year. I guess I get points for consistency? But seriously, credit to all the book bloggers that manage to get these lists out there faster - color me impressed. Also, if I'm… Continue reading Top “Ten” Reads of 2021!
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
Top Ten Reads of 2020!
Well, we're weeks into 2021, but better late than never getting this post up, right? Honestly, this was so hard because the quality of the books I read this year was just so dang high across the board. Like, I think most of my top 30 reads from this year would beat most my top… Continue reading Top Ten Reads of 2020!
What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky
This collection has been on my radar for a while. With a title like that, it’s one that sticks out and sticks with you. But I am not often in the mood for story collections, so it stayed on the periphery for quite some time. However, I have to say, I think I am coming… Continue reading What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky

This new release was one of the books I managed to grab on my last giant library haul trip before they shut down to the public (so like, two weeks ago or so?). I, like many other readers, thought this (the shelter in place/coronavirus distancing situation) was going to be a great time to read… Continue reading Anna K
The Confessions of Frannie Langton
As I was looking for a book that would fit The Reading Women Challenge 2020 prompt #1, an author from Caribbean or India, I remembered this novel that a few of the Caribbean-based bookstagrammers I follow (particularly Cindy at @bookofcinz) had talked about last year when it came out. It sounded pretty interesting and really… Continue reading The Confessions of Frannie Langton
Bad Blood
Even though this scandal happened very recently, and on a very large scale, I have to say that I ready had no awareness of it in real time. To be fair, I was in grad school on the other side of the country, so it does make sense that my general knowledge of Silicon Valley… Continue reading Bad Blood
Trick Mirror
This recently released collection of essays has been getting a lot of praise from bookstagrammers and reviewers my age. It seemed like Tolentino’s writing was doing a great job capturing the frustrating and ridiculous parts of the millennial reality and, as a millennial myself (actually, I’m the same age as Tolentino), I was super curious… Continue reading Trick Mirror
Celestial Bodies
In my goal of working to read more diversely, I’m attempting to also diversify my diversity… That sounds confusing, but basically, I’m just trying to cast my reading net ever wider. So when I heard about this 2019 winner of the International Man Booker, the first novel translated from Arabic to win this prize, in… Continue reading Celestial Bodies
