🌾ᴀ ɢɪʀʟ ɪs ᴀ ʙᴏᴅʏ ᴏғ ᴡᴀᴛᴇʀ🌾Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi This book… I wish I could in this moment articulate to you just how beautiful Makumbi’s prose is paired with her ability to tell Kirabo’s story of growing up in Uganda, honoring her family, tradition, and exploring what being a “first…
Trying something different today. My review is in the photos. This is a romcom that has lots of Friends references, awkwardness, and a likely award-winning cringey sex scene. 🏆 Others may well really enjoy this book. It just wasn’t for me. I read the entire thing (didn’t want to DNF…

🎀What’s YOUR favorite book series?🎀 My #sundaystack is Danielle Vega’s Merciless series! All I needed to hear was “Mean Girls meets The Exorcist” and that “add to cart” button couldn’t place them in my cart quick enough. 😂 Most of the series books I read are crime fiction—Temperance Brennan, mainly. I’ve started…
