“Soon you‘ll learn that there‘s no room for love in a woman‘s life”.
This alone tells me this is about to be a read I won‘t forget.

I‘d Rather Be Reading…A Love Song for Ricki Wilde has me feeling as if I‘m watching a movie waiting for the love connection happen. This slow burn has me curious just enough to push me through and has me wondering where these characters will land.

Self-care was high on the priority list today. I think I took in all the feels as I was making my way through this nutty book! A few times I wanted to shout out “Millie are you crazy”!

Do Not Disturb: A Novel | Freida McFadden
post image

Sooo….this scholar was reading as I was passing by and I immediately stopped to see what she was reading. Y‘all!! Of course I was happy that 1. She was reading 2. I‘m reading a book by this same author and 3. She and I immediately started sharing our thoughts about the author and her writing style. I love when I get to connect with scholars about books or anything surrounding books.

My morning read is turning out to be a good one! “I repeat Mama‘s words in my head and maintain a self-assured silence in the face of his inspection, understanding this part of the test. And no matter what he thinks, he must believe I am a confident, competent white woman.” This almost took me out. Shoutout to my sonshine for the cool bookmark. He was all of 6 when this was gifted. He‘s 24 now!

This ride is wild!!! I‘ve read the comments and listened to the stories on how this book sits with you but nothing really prepares you for a book like this…I‘m scared, my blood pressure is high and I‘ve already speculated the worst. The beef folks have with CoHo is unjustified in my opinion as you have to be one deranged individual to write a story such as this!! #cohobooks #veritycolleenhoover #veritybook #verityissogood #mochagirlsreadpicks

Mrs. Bailey has left the building!! I‘m exhausted and the next two weeks will be spent sleeping, reading, and sipping tea. I will finally get to tie up loose ends as a few books have gone untouched as well as binge watch a few shows. The biggest flex will be going to the bathroom whenever I want versus two times a day. 😩

Silent reading is always the best time!! An hour of uninterrupted time that allowed me to dig even further into All The Sinners Bleed.

Sundays are for restoration, relaxation and reading. There‘s a kindle paperwhite craze and of course I almost traded my seasoned baby for a new one. I backed out on the 11th hour of prime day and decided that new doesn‘t mean better, even though there are some cool cases that will not fit my 6th generation. She has a new slate (thanks mom) and I can‘t wait to decorate her.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks This is one of my favorite books 💚 8mo

I knew Mr. Cosby wouldn‘t disappoint but after the first four chapters I‘m beyond invested, I‘m stunned in a beautiful way. This may very well be his best one for me and to read my hometown being mentioned on more than one occasion has me geeked. Thank you being shouted to Resist Booksellers for having this on their shelves and for their grand opening being awesome!! Another great outing for Book Pearls!

AmyG I can‘t wait to read this one. It‘s getting great reviews. 9mo

Kindred | Octavia Butler

The night of my last day of school has me starting this beauty. I read this many moons ago so when the graphic novel came out I just had to have it. I am definitely intrigued with time travel but only if I can choose the when and the where. The turmoil the main character experienced was one I won‘t forget and reading it definitely took me on a roller coaster ride.

SamAnne Loved this one. 9mo
Bookpearl @SamAnne I do too! I read it in print a few years back but to have a visual is entertaining. 9mo
