I won a free e-book from Goodreads. Unfortunately, I found the writing style a bit stilted and lofty, and the pacing was too slow to capture me, so this was a DNF at 11%>

Hey everyone! I'm in the process of transitioning over to Storygraph, a Black-owned alternative to Goodreads that's unaffiliated with Amazon and has lots of cool features! You can join me over there if you'd like. :)

It's time for my annual transfer of Goodreads reviews over to Amazon! Remember, y'all, that authors are best benefitted by reviews on retailers like Amazon that sell books.

My local library starts curbside pickup on the 15th, so I'm reorganizing and cleaning up my TBR in preparation! 😊

See a list of these titles and authors here.

I've officially finished reading all my library books, and with the library shut down for coronavirus, I shall now commence with ebooks and bookshelf rereads. 👍🏻

Wow, Goodreads, y'all stepped up to the plate with recs for classics by women/PoC. Thank you guys so much! <3

I've changed the title of my website and my social media profiles to match my new pseudonym, Kira Brighton. PLEASE NOTE that from now on, I, Kira Budge, will show up as Kira Brighton here. It's still me! :) Thanks, guys.
