• Book Review: Black Girls Must Die Exhausted

  

  I would be lying if I said the title of this book didn’t initially grab my attention, I don’t know much about it and thought, why not? I’m not so sure if that was the best decision, but in this week’s blog post, you’ll see the reason’s why. I review the 1st part Jayne Allen’s…

• Book Review: Spare

  

  Whew chile!!! If this book wasn’t one of the most anticipated releases for 2023, and I fell into the excitement and pre-ordered this back in the fall! By the time it was eventually released, I would be lying if I didn’t ask myself if I still wanted to read it…So, let me tell you, I…

• Book Review: People Person

  

  If you’ve read our book reviews previously, then you know that we are huge fans of Candice Carty-Williams’ 1st novel Queenie and all of the feels it left us with, so when People Person was released, you know we were going to get our hands on this book! This week on the blog, we review…

• 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…

• Anxiety

  As resilient and strong as I know I am, The truth is, I dedicate far too much of my mental energy on the words of one person, Performing mental gymnastics and increased heart rates, I am not anxiety, I cannot let their words take up space in my mind, But the anticipation of the upcoming…

• 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…

• I Could Love You

  

  I look into the gorgeous blue that is your eyes, Seeing the depth of possibility, Oh my, I could love you…Passion, wonder and safety, Your finger tracing my face with such delicacy,Oh my, I could love you…Listening to me speak so intently and smiling to yourself,Framing my face with your strong hands as you nibble…

• Connection

  

  Invisible undercurrents,Almost like bolts of lightning, Yet far more impactful, Bursts of emotions and sensations, All caught in my chest and by surprise, Worried if I put life to it all, I will breathe it into reality, Because I have always avoided these feelings,Smiling to myself, Attempting to hide a blush, But failing to hide…

• Red

  

  Red. Fiery. Bubbling hot, Sometimes when the feeling gets too overwhelming,I imagine myself tapping into it,Just under the surface of my skin,Rage soIt pains my chest,Trickling into everything I touch,Damaged. Used goods. Past its prime,Overdue. Doubt fills my ever thinking mind,Apathy seems to follow me. April 2022- R1

• 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…
