Buddha just wanted to send some love to @CaliforniaCay 🖤 thank you for being amazing
pickThis book is 8.5/10 — I would have liked more battles, throuple could have been flushed out better, book was left on a cliffhanger, and little more detailed world building. I would recommend this book. Great long weekend read. I really enjoyed this book. #libby #aapi #lgbtq #poc #woc #china #ironprincess
This book is a cross between pacific rim (movie)/hunger games/ with Chinese historical influences. I think this book could have become a series. A lot of people associate this book with handmaidens tale references, I would have to disagree. If you know anything about Chinese history and the gender inequalities during certain dynastys that would make more sense with hunger games and pacific rim sprinkled in there.
I was at a car show and brought my book. I sat down and read while people walked around. Weather was nice but this pic reminds me of this book. I will say this is a page turner. There are very few slow parts. Gets to the point and the action. #woc #battleready #pilot #poc #aapi #boundfeet
I started this book — Umm we started off rough 🥺 this book will not be easy #poc #woc #boundfeet #fight #figtlikeagirl
What are you guys reading? Anything I need to@add to my TBR? Summer faves?
One of my go to drinks from Starbucks. I am a little behind on litsy letters but now I should be caught up by the weekend. I have to admit, I feel like a weight has come off of me and I can take the time let my body/soul heal. You guys are about to be sick of me. Reading starts back up on Monday. 🖤
Happy June - Happy Pride - Happy Juneteenth — a little update from me — I had a setback from my recovery so, I quit my job and spending time healing like I am suppose too. I have been struggling with being on top of everything but realize, I need heal from this crazy traumatic experience. So more reading, streaming, creating art. I am blessed with a supportive family and you guys have kept me smiling when I wanted to scream. Thank you all ❤️
Random moment of guiltily pleasure and joy. I got a Mexican pizza!! Yes I know — I know but I couldn‘t resist. Mexican pizzas got me thru a lot of break ups, late night dancing, stress eating, and pregnancy. Shout out to bringing it back and needing heartburn meds lol #nostalgia #tacobell #badfood #memories
Got to see my nephews (Zorro pictured above 1 of 2) before my procedure. While waiting to go under I am listening to this book. It is not starting as expected. I hope I don‘t dream of the crusades, lol. Maybe I will listen tonight while drifting in and out of recovery and rest
Quicker to download the audiobook — can‘t wait to dive into this remix. I have to admit — there are my two favorite versions of Robin Hood. I am not sure if I will get the same chuckles but I do love the retelling of this story. #robinhood #classic #disney #humor
Someone asked me@to describe the genre or type of book this is — for some people it would be a horror and others a thriller. If I had to like towards something 🤔 get out meets gossip girl mixed in with pretty little liars dash of mean girls
pickThis book… 9 out of 10…truth seen in art. it is a mix of get out & thriller. It is well written giving the prospective of two black students that eventually come together to deal with racist harassment. I think Everyone should read this book. I wanted the end to have something more(like the full exposure of the school), but the epilogue has satisfying end. #poc #lgbtq #woc #aces #spades #racism #ya #getout
So this came up on Libby and I have decided to read it. I have been in a reading slumps, but I am going to see what the hype is about. So far the opening seems normal but the point of views are crazy — let‘s see what happens.
Happy #aapi !!!! I hope to celebrate by discovering new authors and enjoying a few of my faves.
I am excited for this! My kiddo loved the books, we saw the movies, and went to Broadway musical! I loved some of the other series, but this one will always be a favorite because of my kid! I told him we have to watch!! Lol he is dreading it. Lol #percyjackson #lightingthief #disney #fantasy #ya
pickThis a review for the WEBTOON only!! The book is good, but check out the free WEBTOON!! The series is amazing and pulls from the book with some twist. I recommend it. The series is complete so you can binge it on the WEBTOON app. This is a two book series, but just one WEBTOON. There is action, romance, plot twist, and female lead. Rating 8/10 #webtoon #graphicnovel #booktowebtoon #poc #storytelling #curse #woc #book #freeread
For all my Disney nerds out there!! I actually read this book. Giggled when I saw in it in the Proud Family remake #disney #disneynerd
I have been in a reading slump since my accident and this book has got me started back into reading. This was part of my night stand book spin. I guess the ancestors knew this I needed something fun, spicy, and easy to read. I love this little collage I saw while googling the book cover #ambw #woc #poc
Love this quote: every book nerd
Because he knew her well enough to realize she'd rather be holed up in here like Gollum, stroking books and murmuring, "My precious.

pickAmazing book! This is the Second sister in the Series regarding the Brown sisters. Chile was fun & romantic. Yet Dani‘s book is hot! Sexy, sultry, & bring light to anxiety & long term grief. I really enjoyed this book, if you need something to make swoon & clutch pearls— this is it! 9 out 10 #summerread #sexy #witch #interracial #awbw #uk #drrugbae
I have been in a reading slump. I did a random pick of my TBR on my night stand. I am getting out of my little reading funk with this one. I have read about Chole Brown, now I am on to Dani. I loved her in the first book and wanted more. So glad the spin landed here. Light & Easy (plus very sexy) so far. I am hoping this will fully get me in swing of things ❤️ #poc #woc #sexyfun #Brownsisterstrilogy
pickI am a little late with this review. This book started off slow and I wasn‘t sure how to feel about it. I will say the Father was one of the best characters. I think he gave an insight to life, immigration, assimilation, parenthood, and marriage. He was not suppose to be likeable but he stayed with me from his introduction till the end. I give the book 7.5/10. I should have done the audiobook version. #poc #family #traditions #food
This season is so good. Do not sleep on season 2. #woc #bridgerton
Update: still recovering and have about another 10 more weeks to go. I am always tired. My legs are starting to look a little normal. I have been a bit of a hermit lately but I am@coming out of it. Here is Mortimer aka Alfredo - he says hi & drink water. 🐠
Okay — this book is a little slow. I am enjoying it. I think we could have sped up the timeline a little to get to the meat of the story. I think since the ground work is done maybe the fireworks will happen. Interesting take on immigrant parents vs first generation American children. #bipoc #familydysfunction #alf #brothers #food
The book has been turned into a movie!!! I loved this book! It is coming to Apple TV April 2022. I really enjoyed the historical fiction aspect of this book. If you haven‘t read it - please do! I always hoped it would come to screen. #movie #korea #femalelead #historical
I actually like this book, but it a little heavier than I want to read right now. I am half way through it and there is so many historical elements. The way the Orisha folklore is woven through the book is beautiful. I believe the beginning of the book has pieces of the TransAtlantic slave trade. Also, the introduction of African folklore based mermaids is great. People forget the idea of “mermaids” can be seen in every culture. #bipoc #mermaids
Update: These two watching me like hawks lol 😂 they went from nurses to security - making sure Everyone knows when I need to move or sleeping. Being hit by a car and having to be laid up makes them want to cuddle up but I can‘t because my legs are on fire. No broken bones but serious pain /bruising/ limited movement. I am reading a little bit but I am mostly tired. Send good vibes and prayers. I can‘t catch a break. 🤦🏾♀️
Meet one of nurses - Bruiser— keeps checking on me — he is normally bratty but since I can barely move and sleep a lot he is constantly checking to see if I need anything
March buddy read! My #litsylove letters are going to be late. I was hit than pinned to a car on 2/27. So my letters are a little behind. Pain meds are good lol. I will be starting my buddy read with @TheKidUpstairs next week! Love & prayers needed. No broken bones but I am banged up pretty good.
Starting a new book! This is the last book for my February reads!! I am excited about this book. It has been on my list for a while. So let‘s see how it goes. My book light & reading buddy🖤 #gryffindor #bipoc #woc #fantasy #bhm #booklight
pickLighting a candle for @sharread - hopefully you are somewhere enjoying an epic library and reading leisurely surrounded by sweet treats and wonderful libations — till we me again #remeberingsharon #litsylove
Excellent #buddyread — shout to @TheKidUpstairs for sharing this journey with me. I am in awe with some of the books we read. Would you read the second book? Favorite character? Least favorite character?
pickThis book — had me fighting for my life. I am wanted to put it down but it had a choke hold on me. I am excited that ordered the second book because you can‘t leave the readers hanging. The world building gave a mix of Tolkien & Adeyemi 🖤the story did not disappoint 4.5 out 5 because I have to buy a second book lol #fantasy #bipoc #woc #fantasy #femalelead #magic #boneandmarrow
I found this beautiful piece on Pinterest. I wish there was more fan art. I might try deviant art. This book has me spiraling with such delight. Once again, really enjoying the world that is being built in this series. I think there are only two books for the whole series. Not sure if a third will be written, but the first has me looking to order the second one. Review to come …. #poc #woc #fantasy #ya #sisters #thriller #buddyread
I am not sure which version of the cover I like better. I think the hardcover is beautiful. It has color and shows the reader they are in store for a battle. The paperback mutes everything but gives a beautiful silhouette- gives it dark magic & this is going to be twisty. #fae #poc #woc #bookcover #magic #fantasy
So far this book has got me by the throat. Rich fantasy world building. I am enjoying the story. There seems to be richness in the story telling. Nice lunch and a good read 🖤 #poc #woc #fantasy #bhm #femalelead #magic #elves
Princess & The Frog & Cinderella with Whitney Houston with a sprinkle of wine, sweets, and cuddling is how I spend my Valentines Day 🥰
Current Mood — happy Valentine‘s Day 🥰
I am not a librarian but this struck a cord with me. I feel proud each time I go to a book store or library. Because I know my great great father was not permitted in his local library #iamblackhistory #blackhistorymonth
