Hi friends. I hope you all have been safe during the pandemic, and safe if you are attending protests in your area. Being laid off days after George Floyd's murder meant that I had A LOT of time to research, educate, and become sickened, shocked, disgusted, angry, insert negative adjective here, over how Black people...

Hello friends! I've been taking a little break from reading. It has taken all of my concentration and energy just to get through work every day. But I'm finally turning a corner and ready to return to my bookish life (not that I ever truly left...since I'm a librarian, but I digress)! I purchased all... Continue Reading →
Dark Shoresby Danielle L. Jensen Author Danielle L. Jensen has been incredibly active on Instagram lately, as most of us have been during these stay at home orders.

Like many of you, my anxiety manifests in various ways. When I found out we wouldn't be returning to school until the middle of April (and now, possibly not until the next school year) I put down my bag of Nacho Doritos, panicked, and went to bookoutlet. Thankfully, they saved my wallet some money by... Continue Reading →
House of Salt and Sorrowsby Erin A. Craig I picked this book up from Target on a whim (during quarantine when I had to physically go into the store to pick up my prescriptions). The cover was so beautiful and intriguing I just had to know more about this book. The synopsis included some of... Continue Reading →
Hello friends! I hope you are all well, amidst our current global situation. My anxiety has definitely got the better of me a few times so far during this uncertain time, and the result has been to either eat everything in sight or to buy more books. Let's just say, I won't run out of... Continue Reading →
The new year is here, and it's time to talk about new books! I think there's a trend in the book community, that in December you make all your big book purchases with the hope that they will tide you over into the new year, so that you don't spend as much money on books...or... Continue Reading →
