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.

It's hump day and I'm so over this week. Like, throw the whole week away. So......are you guys surviving this social distancing okay? I am. I don't mind it at all. I am just not feeling all that great. That's my only problem. You'd think I'd be reading up a storm by now, but no. Just taking it one book at a time; which seems to take 3 or more days to even get through one. How are you guys doing? Really. . . . . . . . . . #bookcommunity #books #bookish #instabooks #historicalfiction #booksiwanttoread #bookstagram #thedarkestchild #deloresphillips #fiction #sohopress #domesticfiction #americanliterature #booknerdigans #booksofig #bibliolife #bibliophile #booklover #blackbookstagram #womenwriters #readwomen #womenshistorymonth #avaduvernay #womendirectors #funkopopdirector #funkopopdirectors #avaduvernayfunkopop

Happy #SockSunday! I have read the Chosen Ones sampler and I have to say that I cannot wait for this book. Remember when I lost my mind over Illuminae? No? Well, I haven't been this excited about a sff book in a while. Bonus for this being ADULT SF/F. Thanks you, @hmhbooks! . . . . . . . . . . . #mynextobsession #cantwaittoread #chosenones #veronicaroth #hmhbooks #sff #adultfiction #fantasybooks #scifibooks #darkone #chosenone #bookstagram #bookdragon #booklover #aprilbooks #booknerdigans #booksofig #booksofinsta #booksandsocks #booksaremagic #booksample

Hey, readers! It's been a few days, but I'm still alive. How about you? I had an emergency visit to the hospital for my blood pressure, other than that things have been okay. I'm practicing social distancing and trying to stay healthy. Although, I love this! There's no need to make up an excuse as to why I don't want to be around anyone now. Still reading slowly, but Netflix has been getting much of my time. You guys stay safe, and happy reading! . . . . . . . . . #currentlyreading #socialdistancing #staythefuckhome #readabook #currentread #itina #tinaturner #tinaturnerbook #kurtloder #womenshistorymonth #musicicon #musiclegend #womenicons #nonfiction #memoir #biography #bookstagram #booknerdigans #books #igbooks #igreaders #deyst #instareader #springreading #marchreads

My #readwomenmarch challenge isn't going as I'd hoped. I just can't seem to get ahead on the books I'm reading, and I don't want to open another until I finish at least one of them. I hope I'm not heading into a reading slump. There is too much BS happening around the world (and the U.S. in particular), that I need to be distracted. I really want to read Severance and Ordinary Girls this month. What are you reading, or plan to read this week? . . . . . . . . . . #marchtbr #booksiwanttoread #severance #lingma #picadorbooks #bookstagram #readwomen #womenwriters #womenshistorymonth #reader #instareader #booksofinsta #instabook #igbooks #booknerdigans #fiction #literature

I've finished Krik? Krak! (Please add it to your to-read list) and For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When The Rainbow Is Enuf. Now I'm heading into The Dreamblood Duology by one of my favorite women writers. I think I will enjoy this since I've loved everything else she's written. It took nearly two months to read TIT, but I'm hoping to breeze right through this one. Have you read it yet? . . . . . . . . . . #thedreambloodduology #dreambloodduology #currentlyreading #currentread #nkjemisin #orbitbooks #thekillingmoon #theshadowedsun #fantasybooks #fantasy #fantasyreads #bookstagram #blackbookstagram #bookstagrammer #instareader #instareads #booksofinsta #booklover #readerslife #bookdragon #booksaremagic #readwomenmarch #readwomen #sockmonday #booksandsocks

Happy #stacksaturday! I'm not sure where to start on my #readwomen journey this year because there are so many women writers on my TBR piles. I traded my hardcover copy of The Mothers by Brit Bennett (no worries because it's one of my faves and I now own a paperback copy) Krik? Krak! by E. Danticat yesterday with a fellow coworker. I just happened to go over to another department to get a soda earlier this week, and there she sat reading a book. Of course, I got nosy and asked what she was reading and soon we started recommending titles left and right. Always great to connect with a reader. Anyways, that was the great highlight of my week. Ready for new reads. What are you reading this weekend? . . . . . . . . #readwomenmarch #marchtbr #womenwriters #womenshistorymonth #womenarelit #edwidgedanticat #krikkrak #elizabethkolbert #thesixthextinction #isabelallende #thehouseofthespirits #severance #lingma #fiction #literature #nonfiction #pulitzerprizewinner #environmentaldisaster #picadorbooks #dialpress #vintagecontemporaries #bookstack #bookstagram #books #bookish #bookcommunity

I got some lovely #bookmail from @riverheadbooks last week. I'm finally switching out my old tote for this bright RB tote. Yes, I'm very proud of it. Don't hate. . . . . . . . . . #books #bookcommunity #bookish #booksaremagic #booksofinsta #riverheadbooks #riverheadtote #booksandtotes #ilovebooks #booklover #instareader #themothers #whatitmeanswhenamanfallsfromthesky #newpeople #landofloveanddrowning #beforeyousuffocateyourownfoolself #helenoyeyemi #redatthebone #booknerdigans #bookdragon #fiction #womenwriters #readwomen #readwomenmarch

#readwomenmarch will be upon us this weekend. Who are some women writers that you are looking forward to reading in March? I've got so many to choose from; some faves and also some new-to-me. I'm pulling books from each stack/folder: backlist physical, backlist ebooks, new physical, new ebooks, giveaway wins (I won quite a few this month!), Libby borrows and physical library books. I have no idea how many I'll get to, so there will be no set TBR for March. I'm just gonna read whatever, whenever. Happy Monday! 🗡💀🖤 . . . . . . . #newtomebooks #gideontheninth #tamsynmuir #tordotcompublishing #debutnovel #sciencefantasy #booksineedtoread #bookstagram #bookdragon #booknerdigans #fantasybooks #fantasy #sockmonday #booksandsocks #booksaremagic #instabook #booksofinsta #instareader #necromancer #necromancy #spacefantasy #lgbtqbooks #readwomen #womenwriters
