I wasn’t playing when I said that it was a “Read What I Want” December Reading List! Because even though Saints of the Household by Ari Tison isn’t out until March 28, 2023, it has been on my mind to read it sooner rather than closer to its debut. I’m so glad that I did […]
I’ve only recently become a fan of anthologies again. I hit upon several good ones during a library search and have several more on my TBR lineup that I’m excited to dig into. A Few Practical Reasons to Try Anthologies What I have found is that anthologies are a great candidate for you to try […]
As a mama, daylight saving time is kicking my butt this week with the kids’ bedtime adjustments. So I haven’t read a whole lot of ebooks or physical books this week. But I have made some progress with a few audiobooks. I might even start a new feature called After School Audiobooks Drive…🤔 First, though […]
I am currently forcing myself to come for air from my current read, Within These Wicked Walls by Lauren Blackwood, to bring you Friday Night Highlights. Or in this case, I might need to rename it Weekend Reading Inspirations. I don’t visit haunted houses anymore, but I will read about a haunted house. If that […]

This week I am reading The Bones of Ruin by Sarah Raughley. I am five chapters in and I really like the main character Iris. She’s got sass, a sense of survival and a need to discover the mystery of her real identity. She is also a Black girl who works in a circus as […]
I am currently reading The Afrominimalist’s Guide to Living With Less by Christine Platt. Are you looking to free up space and understand why you have so much stuff in the first place? Then this is a book you should check out. You may be familiar with Marie Kondo’s book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying […]
Okay, why am I reading horror again? Since I have begun adulting, I have turned into a straight up scaredy cat! I used to roll with R.L. Stine, Christopher Pike and The Dark Thirty, but White Smoke by Tiffany D. Jackson has me shook enough to change my reading schedule. I chose White Smoke for […]
What is on your audiobook playlist? I am currently listening to two engaging audiobooks about young black boys coming of age and dealing with tragic and challenging circumstances. If you remember and liked Malcolm X the movie, then you will definitely want to check out this novel by Ilyasah Shabazz and Tiffany D. Jackson. It’s […]
