Currently in Crescent Falls with Charity Shane's books and I'm loving it here.

I didn't expect "She's Elite Cutz" to be such a heavy read with issues like abusive relationships and addiction, but the characters' growth from chapter to chapter has been incredible. #BlackBookSky

I felt myself slipping into a reading slump, so I quickly switched genres to avoid it. I'm starting my first ever urban mystery, Secrets of a Billionaire Bishop by Mikah Reign. Reviews say it's super messy. lol. #blackbooksky

I read 3 books at a time: one physical, one digital, and one audio.

I deliver papers and walk dogs, so I'm out and about a lot - the audiobooks fill the gaps during those times.

The physical book is what I read right before bed.

The digital book is the one I carry with me wherever I go lol
