the witch doesn't drown in this one (Women Are Some Kind of Magic):
"NetGalley ARC.
Honestly, this is the first non-5-star poetry collection from Amanda Lovelace, for me. It felt unfinished. I'm very disappointed. It just felt like a bitter, man-hating manifesto. I much prefer her feminist, women are goddesses poetry t" Read more of this review » |

Werewolves need to rest, too. Cady’s character development was quite well done. Her relationships with her husband and child were explored in depth as well as her feelings on a variety of topics ranging from race to European beauty standards to why sh ...more |

"A serious veer off My Path to Read Happier Books. I have loved reading apocalyptic books since I was a teen, so how could I skip this one, a book that's gotten a lot of great press?
Since nobody really warned me, I'll let you in on a few things. It's" Read more of this review » |

Eternity is a matter of perspective. The first scene was momentarily confusing, but as soon as I figured out what was going on I was hooked on the storyline. There’s definitely something to be said for playing around with the audience’s expectations i ...more |

"I'm a Black girl born in 86, I love Brandy. She means so much to me. I was so excited for this memoir, especially to listen to it in her voice. It felt like having Moesha read her journal entries right in my ear. But Moesha's journal entries were mor"

An open mind is essential for journeys such as these. . This was an immersive tale that did an excellent job of drawing me into an unfamiliar world and showing me both the beautiful and the ugly sides of it. There were times when I genuinely felt as t ...more |

As a preacher’s kid who grew up in a family that didn’t engage with a lot of worldly media, Brandy was one of the first secular artists I ever listened to. I was so excited to read her story. She had some fantastic stories in this memoir, particularl ...more |

How much trouble could one little egg be? Dodos are one of those extinct species that I’m quite sorry I’ll never have the opportunity to meet, so this tale automatically caught my attention when I read the blurb. I wondered what the client wanted with ...more |

“You’re not destined or chosen, I wish I could tell you that you were if that would make it easier, but it’s not true. You’re in the right place at the right time, and you care enough to do what needs to be done. Sometimes that’s enough.”

“If you choose to try to make a life with another person, you will live by that choice. You'd find yourself having to choose again and again to remain rather than run. It helps if you enter into a committed relationship prepared to work, ready to be humbled and willing to accept and even enjoy living in that in-between space, bouncing between the poles of beautiful and horrible, sometimes in the span of a single conversation, sometimes over the course of years. And inside of that choice and those years you'll almost certainly come to see that there is no such thing as a 50-50 balance, instead it will be like beads on an abacus, sliding back and forth, the maths rarely tidy, the equation never quite solved....”
