Day 18: Fave Toni Morrison Character Hands down my favourite Character from a Toni Morrison novel is Pilate Dead from Song of Solomon. What an interesting, touching, and mysterious character. If you haven’t yet met Song of Solomon what are you waiting for. Get to it! You won’t regret it. Song of Solon is also […]
Day 17: Rec from Bookstagrammer This book has been recommended to me by so many people. The cover is haunting to say the least. I’m looking forward to it but I’m afraid it’s going to make me mad as hell. Thanks to @prettybrowneyereader @musical_tati and @jerseyfemme for recommending this one to me. Promise I will […]
Day 16: Cooking/Baking Books: This cookbook was gifted to me by my lovely friend Rosa. This cookbook is going to add some spicy diversity to my cooking. Marcus Samuelsson’s recipes all have an interesting twist to them. He’s an Ethiopian born Swedish American chef and that mix definitely must add some creativity to his cooking.That […]
Day 15: Cuz This is Thriller!: Hands down The blanche Whites series is sone of my favorites. This series follows Blanche White a house cleaner who gets into to some pretty sticky situations and winds up sleuthing throughout the stories.

Day 12: Snackin’ & Readin’: Eating and reading is not my thing. I just can’t bear seeing grease spots or food stains on my beautiful hardcovers. So I usually just drink tea or some kind of drink. I’m a bit obsessive about keeping my books in excellent condition. This picture I took is of one […]
Day 11: Surprise! Being online reading publicly has allowed le to exchange ideas on reading but it’s also give me the chance to meet some pretty awesome people. For me that’s the richest part of creating content on platforms like YouTube and Instagram. As a result, the last biggest surprise I had was this stack […]
Day 10: True Life I began reading The Selected Letters of Ralph Ellison last year. It’s been an amazing endeavour reading and learning about him. I have a love of letters and reading epistolary formatted books. Epistolary novels aren’t as prevalent these days as they were in the past. This being said a girl can […]
