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.

Happy Tuesday, readers! I'm slowly recovering from a migraine that had me on my knees yesterday, but I'm getting some reading done now. Not as much as I'd like, but it's more than I read last week. Only 3 more books from my tbr to read this month, so I'm ahead of schedule. How's your reading going? Also, show of hands, who has read Things Fall Apart? I need to discuss this after I'm finished. My school didn't have this on the syllabus, but I'm kind of happy(?) that I didn't read it back then. . . . . . #blackgirlreading #alwaysreading #readingisfundamental #bookdragon #bookish #bookcommunity #penguinbooks #wwnortonandcompany #theafricantrilogy #astrophysics #sciencebook #africanlit #nonfiction #fiction

Normally my TGIF's about getting off work for the weekend. Today? I'm so ready to get back to work on Monday. Yes, I said it. Work will be a nice distraction from all the crazy. Books and Netflix can only do so much for my psyche. I've loved being home for 2 wks, but now I'm ready to be productive and spend less time on social media. The world is bonkers. . . . . . . . . #readerslife #bookworm #booknerdigan #thatbooklife #bibliophile #booknerd #goodomens #goodomensbook #terrypratchett #neilgaiman #booksmakemehappy #booksaddicted #bookstagram #fantasyfiction #bookandcoffee #instareads #aziraphale #crowley #angelanddemon #goodandevil #ineffablehusbands

New month, new reads. *Things Fall Apart *Broken Places & Outer Spaces *One Day I Will Write About This Place (currently reading) *Six Goodbyes We Never Said *From Scratch *The Golden Wolf . . . I had to push We Hunt the Flame from my June TBR to August. I'm pretty sure I can fit a couple of ebooks from my backlist tbr in this month, so I'm aiming for 8 or so. Still, not many. What's on your TBR? . . . . . . . #julytbr #summerreads #fiction #nonfiction #booksaddicted #bookstagram #readerslife #bookreviewer #loverofbooks #alwaysreading #instareads #booksofinsta #tedbooks #wednesdaybooks #harperbooks #graywolfpress #penguinbooks #simonandschuster

#junewrapup: 11 books read this month. Could be 12, if I finish what I'm reading before midnight (highly unlikely). I have too much to do today. . . . Not pictured, ebooks: Claire of the Sea Light by Edwidge Danticat, Breath of Dust & Dawn by L. Penelope, This Book is Gay by Juno Dawson *Ayiti by Roxane Gay *Washington Black by Esi Edugyan *Lake Silence by Anne Bishop *Aristotle & Dante... by Benjamin Sàenz *The Brief Wondrous Life.... by Junot Díaz *With the Fire.... By Elizabeth Acevedo *The Star Side........ by Naomi Jackson *When I Was...... by Jason Reynolds . . . . . My favorites this month were Ari &Dante and Ayiti. I enjoyed almost everything I read, but these two are still on my mind. What was your favorite read this month? . . . . . #caribbeanreads#yareads#adultfiction #bookaddict #bibliophile#readerslife

Happy Sunday, bookworms! From Scratch by Tembi Locke is a love story that I've had my eye on since it released. I discovered recipes in the back! Another delicious book for my summer reading. Oh, and it looks good beside this ice cream that I'm about to devour. . . . . . . . . . #nonfiction #fromscratch #tembilocke #memoir #simonandschuster #deliciousbooks #bookstagram #instareads #bibliophile #italianlovestory #sicily #reesesbookclub #hellosunshinebookclub #summerreads #bookish #bookcommunity #bookandicecream #bookgram #booksofig #booklover #igreads #igbooks #allidoisread

Hump day. Two more days of work and I'm starting my holiday until July 8th. I need to be on a beach for at least 5 of those days. Or, at the very least, lounging by a pool. I'm gonna read all the books, including this new to me gem by Binyavanga Wainaina, One Day I Will Write About This Place. If not for @nnediokorafor, I probably would never have heard of this incredible man. So, thank you. . . . . . . . . . #binyavangawainaina #onedayiwillwriteaboutthisplace #kenyanwriters #africanwriters #memoir #nonfiction #comingofage #lgbtqwriters #influentialpeople #graywolfpress #instabook #instareads #bookstagram #bookgram #allidoisread #bookcommunity #bookish #booknerdigan #bibliophile
