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.

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

TGIF! I can never read enough during the week, so I'm always ecstatic for the weekends to roll around. This is, hopefully, next week's stack. One is a reread, so if I can't squeeze it in, then I'll push it over to next month. I still have 2 more books from my official June TBR to read as well. I just want to read all the books! . . . . . . . #ayiti #roxanegay #thestarsideofbirdhill #naomijackson #junotdiaz #thebriefwondrouslifeofoscarwao #readcaribbean #caribbeanauthors #caribbeanreads #caribbeanbooks #pulitzerprize #caribbeanheritagemonth #allthebooks #foreverreading #alwaysreading #booksaddicted #bookstack #bookstagram #bibliophile #booknerdigan #bookish #bookcommunity #paperbacks

Barring any natural disasters, I will be up for 24 hours, reading. I'm on hour 11 right now, and this is only my second cup of devil's blood. It helps that I have 3 of my nieces & nephews this weekend. They are a rowdy bunch. I'm closing in on the end of Lake Silence and Washington Black is up next. Wish me luck! What are you reading this weekend? . . . . . . . . #washingtonblack #weekendread #coffeeandbooks #readerslife #esiedugyan #vintageanchorbooks #historicalfiction #fictionreads #fiction #bookstagram #bookgram #booksandcoffee #hypedbooks #cantwaittoread

Happy #SockSunday! Here's a look at my partial June TBR. Since this is Caribbean Heritage Month + Pride Month, I'm sure there will be a few more books to read. Also, a reread of The Star Side of Bird Hill; which I haven't read in years. This is the perfect month to read it again, as it has both the Caribbean & Pride within the story. What are you reading this month? . . . . . . . . . #junetbr #summerreads #booksandsocks #currentlyreading #withthefireonhigh #wehunttheflame #wheniwasthegreatest #washingtonblack #lakesilence #bookstagram #instareads #instabooks #riotgrams #socksandbooks #bibliophile #bookdragon #booknerdigan #alwaysreading #readharder #readinggoals #books #bookcommunity #yabooks #yafantasy #urbanfantasy #yacontemporary #fictionreads #pridemonth #caribbeanheritagemonth

May Wrapup: (not pictured library/overdrive borrows) Lot by Bryan Washington, Summoned to Thirteenth Grave by Darynda Jones, The Refugees by Viet Thanh Nguyen. . . . -Saman by Ayu Utami -Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri* -A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles -Storm of Locusts by Rebecca Roanhorse -The Black Tides of Heaven by JY Yang . . . I feel pretty good about the 8 books that I read this month. Of course, my favorite is Interpreter of Maladies. Least favorite goes to Saman. I was really hoping for some super charged feminism, but it was actually kind of vulgar. Still, it had its moments. What was your favorite read this month? . . . . . #maywrapup #mayreads #books #bookish #bookcommunity #bookstagram #stormoflocusts #theblacktidesofheaven #saman #agentlemaninmoscow #interpreterofmaladies #readharder #readinggoals #thatbooklife #goodreads #bookspines #diversereads #instabooks #bibliophile #booknerd #allthebooks #alwaysreading #booknerdigans

Happy Sunday, booknerds! What have you done for this long weekend? I've been reading my butt off, and managed to finish up two books and I'm working on finishing two more. Annndddd....I am hoping to add in two more before this month ends. Not sure if these two will make the "read" list this month or next. We'll see how this reading streak goes. . . . . . . . #interpreterofmaladies #jhumpalahiri #wheniwasthegreatest #jasonreynolds #awardwinningbooks #pulitzerprizewinner #simonteen #atheneumbooks #marinerbooks #shortstorycollection #diversereads #diversebooks #books #bookish #bookstagram #bookcommunity #instareads #instabooks #yabooks #literaryfiction #fiction #literature #bibliophile #thatbooklife #readharder #goodreads #bookstoread #booksandcoffee
