PERSONAL STORY TIME:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The past four days have literally been a series of unfortunate events. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On Wednesday, we had to cancel our honeymoon. On Thursday, our venue closed until May, cancelling our wedding and many others. (Thankfully, by Friday, we were able to secure a new venue.)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Since our wedding is next Saturday, who knows what will happen over the next 7 days. But, no matter what, we plan to get married some way, somehow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So, who's ready for my quarantine-themed romance novel that I'll be writing during our self-quarantined homeymoon?! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookster #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblog #bookstagrammer #igreads #bookblogger #shereads #amreading #curlsandbooks #wellreadblackgirl #booksharks #igreads #read

The month of love is coming to an end! In February, I read a good balance of romance and books by black authors to celebrate Black History Month. I'm excited to share my February wrap-up soon!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In March, I'll be focusing on historical fiction written by women of color - I'm not a huge fan of historical fiction, but I'm looking to grow my appreciation for the genre.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are your recommendations for historical fiction written by women of color??⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookster #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblog #bookstagrammer #igreads #bookblogger #shereads #amreading #curlsandbooks #wellreadblackgirl #booksharks #igreads #read

I started this book on January 1. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I've completed 20 other books since then and I'm slowly making my way through this one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUT I really like it so far! I have a bad habit of reading this one before bed and, unfortunately, my autoimmune disease causes me to pass out the moment I'm anywhere near a couch or bed. So, I often read about 5-10 pages before conking out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm trying! . . . . . #bookster #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblog #bookstagrammer #igreads #bookblogger #shereads #amreading #curlsandbooks #wellreadblackgirl #booksharks #igreads #read

After spending time reading other things, I came back to this books and tried to force myself to recall the good aspects of the novel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The writing was actually pretty well done.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's all I've got. Everything else was just...a mess.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I finally figured out why I get mad when I see this cover. I picked this book to read solely because I saw the brown arm in the cell phone image. I was sold because I'm #RootingForEverybodayBlackandBrown. But, imagine my shock and display when I found out that this is just a case on pandering and that the POC's whole existence is to hep the MC commit a fraud.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #bookster #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblog #bookstagrammer #igreads #bookblogger #shereads #amreading #curlsandbooks #wellreadblackgirl #booksharks #igreads #read

I wasn't planning on going to the #okcbooksale yesterday, but I ended up needing a distraction and a pick-me-up. I'm pretty happy with this #bookhaul! 24 books for $15? I'd call that a good day! P.S. I was really excited to see and grab The Mister by E L James because I remembered @thebibliotheque posting about it! #bookster #bookstagram #bookish #booklover #booknerd #bibliophile #bookworm #bookblog #bookstagrammer #igreads #blogger #shereads #amreading #curlsandbooks #wellreadblackgirl #booksharks
