Hey y’all! Remember my “books that shaped my childhood” post a few weeks ago? Back when I went down memory lane and told you all about the lives I lived through these stories. Well, I decided to actually reread one of those books and boy do I have something to say. A Little Backstory

Hey y’all! It seems like everyone’s been talking about this book and for good reason. My library had over a month long waitlist for the audiobook and I’m really happy I stuck it out.

Hey y’all! This has been in my TBR for the longest. I only have one book left to read on that list and I’m so ready to get to the last one. I went into Frankly in Love with really high hopes, but let’s just say, it didn’t live up to the hype. Goodreads Synopsis

Hey y’all! This is the last book I’ll be reviewing from the readathon. Training School for Negro Girls was an interesting set of short stories. It reminded me of Heads of the Colored People which I read a few stories from for my African American Literature class last year. I actually ended up finding out

Hey y’all, it’s time for another book review. I originally found out about Words on Bathroom Walls through Kat’s blog, but not as the book itself. It was actually in her “Trailers you might have missed” series because this book is getting a movie adaptation! I hadn’t heard about the book beforehand but when I
