I’ll be honest: I kind of hate Valentine’s Day. I’m not a fan of pink or hearts (the shape of which was originally modeled after female anatomy or ancient contraceptives – and yes, I ruin a lot of things with history #sorrynotsorry). And I don’t like a holiday that gives couples unreasonable expectations and single […]
Read MoreIt’s October, which means it’s time for Halloween reading! And since the month is now more than halfway over, I thought I’d share a few books that I think would make great Halloween reads and also happen to be written by women. Because I feel like we should read more female authors, and why not […]
Read MoreIt’s back to school time! And I have mixed feelings about it. Because, on the one hand, I’m really glad I don’t have to sit in class anymore and I can read whatever I want (kind of). But sometimes, I just really miss school. So, today, I thought I’d share some book recommendations based on […]
Read MoreIf you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably know I am a big fan of Halloween reading. I rarely read scary books during the rest of the year, but, come October, I am all over it. That said, I am not the biggest fan of horror. I do occasionally enjoy horror novels […]

However, at least in my experience, a lot of the books that are talked about and advertised specifically as being diverse are young adult […]

But, I know they’re not exactly everyone’s cup of tea, so today I thought I’d share some books that are perfectly suited to Halloween […]
Read MoreWhen it comes to sci-fi and fantasy, it seems like everything is part of a series nowadays. And don’t get me wrong, I love series. A lot of my favorite books are part of a series. But there is something special about a truly epic story that’s all wrapped up in a single book. Today, […]
Read MoreWarning: This post is entirely science fiction and fantasy. Which wasn’t exactly what I was going for when I started writing it, but, hey, most of my favorite series are science fiction and fantasy. And I’m (mostly) totally okay with that. Because let’s be honest, they make for amazing long stories. These are all first […]
Read MoreFor the past few years, I have been getting more and more into reading feminist literature – both fiction and nonfiction. It is something I really enjoy and something I make a priority when selecting books to read. While I still enjoy male-centric books, I make an effort to seek out female-centric books, too. In […]
