Happy BLACK History Month. I read Black books every month but I got two stacks for y'all.

First stack is books by Black authors I loved and the second are the ones I’m getting to.

Everything I have learned about the It Ends With Us/Blake/Justin situation has been against my will. It’s a bad book. Sounds like it was a bad movie. Made by bad people. The end.

For anyone feeling disappointed by a certain dragon book may I take the opportunity to suggest the best dragon trilogy I have ever read?

Before you ask, it’s not spicy - it’s YA. But it is politically complicated, morally grey, has FANTASTIC dragon/rider connection, & is overall just incredible.

Here are 20 recommendations of Sci-fi/Fantasy books written by diverse authors to add to your TBR!

The Secret History paperback, The Little Friend paperback, The Goldfinch special edition hard cover!

I am making some purchases from Waterstones - what UK editions should I consider adding to my cart? The shipping is so expensive I feel like I might as well make it worth it.

Who is an author that took you a long time to read, but once you did you can’t believe you waited so long? I’ll go first.

Donna Tartt. Currently reading The Goldfinch and I might even be enjoying it more than TSH.

Alright. I’m here. For real this time. Probably.

It’s officially freezing which means my skin, once again, hates me. I may despise the MN humidity in the summer but boy does my skin love it.

I need all of your holy grail skin care products for dry AF skin.

I wish that the #Wicked soundtrack had the tippy-tappies in “what is this feeling”

They are so SATISFYING to my ears.

I haven’t even seen it yet, and same.

“It’s tempting to interpret Wicked as a wise civics lesson, a fable for our times, but its ideas are so slippery, so readily adaptable to even the most blinkered political views, that they have no real value.”

Even a Magical Cynthia Erivo Can’t Cast a Spell Strong Enough to Save 'Wicked' John M. Chu's adaptation of the stage musical, starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, might make you feel trapped in someone else's nostalgia.

This review is atrocious. Never has it been more obvious that someone missed the entire point of a movie. Seriously, who hurt you?

What is a book you loved so much that it made you reconsider a genre you don’t typically read?

I’ll go first:

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

I feel the #Wicked movie should have two types of showings available:

🫧 Sing-a-Long style, for the theater kids who have been waiting their whole lives for this

🫧 Normal

And I would absolutely attend both.

Am I hallucinating? Wild that this shows up back to back on my discover feed. Word for word copied????

Defying Gravity made me so emotional… I fear what will happen when I actually see it?

Wicked: The Soundtrack Wicked Movie Cast · Album · 2024 · 12 songs

Oh. Oh this is for the theater kids. THIS is how you do a musical adaptation.
