Okay. I have a wacky way of rating books and I thought I should share it with y'all. I don't force myself to finish a book too often so I rarely will rate something lower than 3 stars. 2 stars means I had some strange reason for finishing the book against my better judgement. 3...

Let's just start off by taking a moment to discuss how wonderful the Reluctant Royals series is. Alyssa Cole did the damn thing with these 5 books. I adored every single last one of these characters. Likotsi was my favorite the moment I read Once Ghosted, hands down. But then I began to read A... Continue Reading →

So... today is the last day of Black Music Month and I participated in this challenge by Naima Cochrane. I shared the challenge with friends and one, Portia, decided to up the level of difficulty and say that we could not repeat artists. I had already done day 1, but still felt confident in my...
