• Book Review: Wahala

  

  I have had this book blow up on my bookstagram feeds, which I ignored and then a friend of mine was reading it and I thought to myself, hmm maybe, I should give it a chance. So here we are many weeks later and I have to admit I read it pretty quickly considering my […]

• Book Review: Where The Crawdads Sing

  So much hype and buzz over a book and it all seemed to have missed me at the time, then I finally decided to take a bite out of the popularity I seemed to be missing. I am beyond glad that I did! This book took me by surprise! This week on the blog, we […]

• Book Review: Talking To Strangers

  I know I am late to the Malcom Gladwell fan club, but I am here anyways, might have taken me a while 😅. Needless to say, after picking up this book- I couldn’t put it down! To say it was eye opening and in some ways provided many many aha moments. So, this week on […]

• Book Review: Yellow Wife

  Instagram really got me good on this one, after constantly seeing this book on my feed at the back end of 2021, beginning of 2022 I thought why not give it a try. Must be gathering traction for a good reason, and if I’m being honest in some ways it disappointed. This week on the […]

• Book Review: The Kite Runner

  I’m going to say it before you do- what rock have I been hiding underneath that I haven’t read this book much sooner than now. But, here we are and I have finally taken the plunge and bought the book (R2 read this book in High School, so imagine how behind I feel). I have […]

• Book Review: Felix Ever After

  Our 1st book review of the year and it’s a very different genre that we’ve explored this time around. While visiting Point-Claire Village last summer and more specifically The Babar Bookstore during the Montreal YA! Festival, I spotted this book and was immediately drawn to it. Not only for its content, but also because I […]

• Book Review: The Other Black Girl

  As an avid reader, this book came across my radar when it wasn’t released yet in Canada and I literally ran and pre-ordered it! Yes, I was that excited. Not only is the cover goals, I loved the title, I could relate on 100% and also, it was such a captivating subject, I figured it […]

• Book Review: The Death Of Vivek Oji

  Have you ever had a book just capture your attention right from the offset? Be it the cover, the title and then the content? Not only is this book by an author from the LGBTQIA community and Black, let me tell you about how good it feels to get my hands on a book that […]

• Book Review: The Prophets

  Sometimes you pick up a book, and you just KNOW it will leave a mark on you, some things are just seamless and this book is one of them. Though chosen because I am expanding my exploration of books from Black authors, I was pleasantly surprised by the subject matter and the wonder that this […]

• Diverse Books For Kids

  Books, books, books! So many to choose from and so little time! Or at least that’s my issue with adult books, which seems to have transferred onto my daughter! Over the past few years and especially with the influx of more and more Black voices being given the platform and their over due space, many […]
