Summer 2020 Bucket List

Every season – or at least every summer – I create a bucket-list of things I want to do before the season ends. You may be thinking that there is no point to doing that this summer with the Coronavirus pandemic still very much present, but I think it’s even more important now than ever! After so many months of being cooped up in the house, we all need fun activities to look forward to. We may be limited in what activities we can do, but that shouldn’t stop us! We just have to get creative πŸ˜‰ Keep reading to see what’s on my summer bucket-list, and comment below what activities you are going to add to your bucket-list! Summer 2020 Bucket List Picnics – this seems to be the new brunch, since my ENTIRE Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest pages are full of picnic photoshoot pics! I have already had…

March Book Review II

Happy first day of March! It’s a brand new month with new opportunities to achieve new goals. If you are like me, then reading more is ALWAYS a goal – one that I am better at some months than others! In January, I read 10 books and then only about 2-3 in February. Granted, I started a new full time job in February, but we can all do better right?? It’s been a MINUTE since my last book review, and I am so happy to be back to writing them! When I first started my blog two years ago, I was diligently keeping a list of every book I read, which made it super easy to reference when I wanted to write a book review. Last year, I totally dropped the ball on keeping track of the books I was reading, and thus totally slacked on writing any reviews! But…

Fall Reading List 2018

Hey guys! It’s been a MINUTE since my last book review, and I have a bunch of books I am dying to tell y’all about! I decided to switch how I do them though: instead of a book review once a month, I’ll compile my fave books from the previous few months into a list of reading recommendations with personalized reviews about each one! Read on to find your new fave. An American Marriage by Tayari Jones This novel starts out normally enough, with a young newlywed black couple spending a night in a hotel room before visiting the husband’s parents the next day. Suddenly, they are ripped apart when the husband is arrested for assaulting a lady in another hotel room, a crime he was falsely accused of, and sent to jail for twelve years. Bitterly reminiscent of our reality with a crippled and deeply flawed justice system, this…

March Book Review

Welcome to the first installment of my monthly book review! I will attempt to keep consistent, since I do read a good number of books per month, but don’t shoot me if I miss a month and have to lump a bunch together in one post! All of the books in this review are written by and about Black people, both Africans and Black Americans. This collection of books was quite fitting for Black History Month, although that is not why I chose them. I have been actively searching for books and novels in my library that are written from a different perspective, and I found these to be the most interesting. All book titles are linked to an Amazon listing. My Life, My Love, My Legacy by Coretta Scott King I am writing this review before I even finish the book, because I am already that moved by it!…
