Happy Tuesday and happy Pub Day! Good gracious, and we’re already done with another month. It was the first month of the year, but I feel like the year is off to a great start with the number of books published. Wings of Ebony by J. Elle I’ve already heard early buzz for Wings of…

It feels like ages since I’ve written book reviews for the blog, but this year I decided to make my blog a place where I can store all of them. I’m still using Goodreads, but I much prefer having my own system of collecting my book reviews digitally and I want that to live on…

Happy Pub Day, everyone! I took a little time off from writing (and pretty much everything else) because the motivation is starting to slip. But it’s good that I took some time off and let myself relax a little. The last thing I want is to rush through a piece of writing and then present…

Hello readers! I’m so excited today because today I’m launching my newest endeavor for 2021: A newsletter! I’ve been wanting to do a newsletter for a while, but I wasn’t sure exactly how I should do it. I recently realized that what I was feeling was a level of imposter syndrome; that people wouldn’t read…

It’s getting close to the end of the year, which always means looking back and reminiscing about the events and happenings. Like the memes all mention, 2020 felt like the entire decade of events happened in one year. But I think the one saving grace of the entire year was my love for books. With…
