Throne Of Glass
by Sarah J. Maas
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Sarah J. Mass is a storyteller like none I have read before. Her world building has me in literal awe andi could not believe what I was reading halfway through the book. Cealena Sardothien is one of my favorite characters and Dorian is probably a close second

Sonnys Blues by James Baldwin is a powerful exploration of pain, family, and redemption. Through the lens of jazz and brotherhood, Baldwin captures the struggle of Black identity, emotional repression, and the healing power of understanding and expression.

Bunny
by Mona Awad
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Samantha is definitely an outsider in her small, creative writing workshops @ prestigious Warren University. There are only 4 other students in her classes, all seemingly perfect, well coifed and dressed young women who adore each other. The 4 women hug and call each other bunny as a term of endearment. During the semester the bunnies reach out to Samantha and invite her to one of there "smut salons" At this point all sorts of strange, borderline magical events begin to happen around Samantha. As a reader Samantha is such an unreliable narrator you do not know what has actually happened and what is made up in Samantha's head. The author, Mona Awad, has really left it up to the reader to interpret what happens to Samantha and the bunnies while at Warren. Overall, I think the book is a scathing but amusing review of the pretentiousness of some graduate school programs. It is horror, literary fiction and humor all rolled up in one brilliant but perplexing text.

Tupac Shakur

book cover


5 stars The biography of Tupac was an experience. Growing up I listened to Tupac and other old school rappers, but I never really knew much of their in depth life. I loved reading this to get a better insight on how Tupac’s family and friends viewed him: and outspoke young Black man who was a wonderful artist. He cared so much for my community and always wanted the best for it; especially coming from a family of Panthers. After reading this, I need to read Assata and Afeni’s autobiography: I feel like the experience would be even greater to view from a much closer relatives lenses.

This book is amazing! The world building is so expansive, and there are some very timely elements in the story that make it well worth the read. I recommend it for anyone who enjoys books with a post-apocalyptic setting and realistic horror.

Kill Joy
by Holly Jackson

book cover


This was a pretty short book, or novella, about the characters from A Good Girls Guide to Murder series where all of them are invited to a murder mystery dinner party. It was nice to see Pippa apply her detective skills to the game because it was just a game and so there was no pressure on her to actually solve it

Butcher & Blackbird
by Brynne Weaver

book cover


I cant get enough! This is my first time reading Brynne Weaver and I am hooked. Who knew serial killers could fall in love? This first book of The Ruinous Love Trilogy will have you gagging (if you are squeamish) and laughing all at the same time. You will fall in love with Sloane (her artistic webs will catch your eye <- pun intended) and Rowan. I was intrigued by the trigger warnings at the beginning and I am still enjoying the shared playlist. Fun fact: I started following Brynne on Instagram and recently found out that they have signed up for a movie based on this book!! cant wait!

The Paper Palace (reese's Book Club)

DNF - I couldn’t get past the vulgarity or child abuse. This is not my cup of tea. I’m sure that the storyline is decent, but I do not wish to proceed.
