Hello & Welcome To My Blog

I love to read, drink coffee, eat pickles and I'm determined to watch every movie that was made before 1981. I'm sort of an introvert, and I stay to myself. People in this world are cruel, so I'll just let them have it. I prefer fictional worlds and it's inhabitants!! Catch me watching Game of Thrones!

My Rating System

5 Stars ***** I absolutely Love It! It has a spot on my reread shelf.

4 Stars **** I Like It a lot! Definitely recommend checking it out.

3 Stars *** It's Okay. Not bad, but not great either.

2 Stars ** Meh! I could live without ever having read it.

1 Star * Not my thing! Hate it! Wouldn't rec it to anyone.

Half ratings fall somewhere in between. DNF books do not get a rating, unless I read at least 50% of the book.

Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann is always on my mind. Especially, now, that it's November. National Native American Heritage Month should be celebrated every month, in my opinion. Trying to take that and replace it with National Founders Month or whatever the hell they are calling it is just wrong on so many levels. I can't even describe how angry that makes me. This country's founding is nothing to be proud of. The audacity! I'm sorry, it's Monday. Mini rant over. . . . . . . . #nativeamericanheritagemonth #indigenouspeoplesmonth #killersoftheflowermoon #davidgrann #literaryjournalism #osagenation #nativeamericanhistory #americanhistory #historybooks #osageindians #booksthatmakeyoucry #bookstagram #readthisbook #neverforget #instabook #nonfiction #nonfictionnovember #sockmonday

I'm sooooooo ready for the weekend. I'm locking myself inside with no contact to the outside world. I'll be diving into Celestial Bodies this weekend. It won the Man Booker Int. Prize this year, so I'm hoping to be impressed. . . . . . . . . . #weekendreads #celestialbodies #jokhaalharthi #fiction #translatedfiction #translatedbooks #booksintranslation #manbookerinternationalprize #worldliterature #fallreads #bookstagram #catapultbooks #blackbookstagram #avidreader #bookgram #bibliophile #booknerdigans #instabook #instareads #reader #bookstagrammer #bookdragon #booksaremagic #adultfiction #readtheworld #diversebooks #diversereads

Happy #SockSunday! My November TBR is pretty ambitious, but I will try my best to read them all. Not pictured are ebooks: Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado, Hummus and Homicide by Tina Kashian, & Bad Blood by John Carreyrou. That's 12 books. Wish me all the luck 🤞 . . . . . . . . #novembertbr #booksandsocks #nonfictionreads #nonfictionnovember #fantasy #literaryfiction #fiction #yabooks #menwereaped #justmercy #iammalala #lairofdreams #lettersfromanastrophysicist #celestialbodies #thegreatbelievers #therageofdragons #politesociety #bookstagram #bookstack #instabooks #instareads #reader #bookreviewer #bookstagrammer #bookdragon #avidreader #bibliophile #blackbookstagram

#octoberwrapup: I read a total of ten books last month. I enjoyed them all, but I must say that dinosaurs 🦖, a futuristic earth 🌍, and the American Southwest 🏜 are the three that I still think about. In other words, Sabrina & Corina, Emergency Skin, and The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs were my favorites. . . . . . . . . . #octoberreads #fallreads #theinheritancetrilogy #juliettakesabreath #sabrinaandcorina #ghost #theriseandfallofthedinosaurs #emergencyskin #theblackgodsdrums #adeaddjinnincairo #thesunandherflowers #wildcountry #nkjemisin #annebishop #pdjeliclark #rupikaur #stevebrusatte #kalifajardoanstine #gabbyrivera #jasonreynolds #bookgram #bookstagram #books #reader #instabooks #instareader #blackbookstagram

Read any spooky books lately? I'm slowly building my Canterbury Classics library, and these two need to be read and I haven't had the time yet. Well, Dracula will be a reread. It's been about 20 years. Don't judge. Virtually giving you all one of these yummy cupcakes for Halloween, tomorrow. Seriously, they're delicious. . . . . . . . . . . #dracula #bramstokersdracula #bramstoker #thelegendofsleepyhollow #washingtonirving #classicliterature #classichorror #spookyreads #vampires #headlesshorseman #sleepyhollow #ichabodcrane #canterburyclassics #wordcloudclassics #halloweenreads #bookdragon #booknerdigans #bookstagram #fallbookstagram #booksandcupcakes #instabooks #booksofinsta #happyhalloween #halloweenbookstagram

December 3rd is approaching & I am awaiting. I have a feeling that I will abandon all responsibilities in the real world and dive right into Children of Virtue and Vengeance. Priorities, people.

Happy Friday, bookworms! Two more days until my birthday. 🎂🎈🎉 Don't ask me how old I am. Just don't. 🤐 A big thanks to @oliviascatastrophe for sending me this early birthday book last week. I love you lots! I have been on the holds list for over a year ( I checked the status 2 wks ago and I was currently 97th in line on one copy!!!), so this is much appreciated. What are you guys doing this rainy weekend? I'll be eating my a** off somewhere in BHam. . . . . . . . . #itsfriday #birthdayweekend #birthdaybooks #educated #tarawestovereducated #tarawestover #nonfictionreads #nonfiction #memoir #nonfictionbooks #windmillbooks #bookgram #bookstagram #booknerdigans #bibliophile #thatbooklife #instabook #instareader #notablebooks

'The language of BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME, like Coates's journey, is visceral, eloquent and beautifully redemptive. And its examination of the hazards and hopes of black male life is as profound as it is revelatory. This is required reading.' _ TONI MORRISON . . . . . . . . #betweentheworldandme #tanehisicoates #nonfiction #racerelations #notablebooks #fallreads #octoberreads #nonfictionreads #nonfictionbooks #textpublishing #blacklivesmatter #blackbookstagram #bookstagram #coffeeandbooks #goodblackreads #instareads #instabook #bookgram #nationalbookaward #requiredreading #reading #bibliophile #booknerdigans
