  Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams Someone said that this was like a modern Bridget Jones Diary but I’d say this was a bit deeper than that. Yes, the titular Queenie does have a bonkers love life and sometimes she doesn’t know how to put the oven on and her personal and business life cna get messy…

• Top 5 Vet Volunteers

  Trapped: This one comes first for me because I love deer so the story of Brenna taking care of an injured fawn is just adorable. But what is also interesting is the focus on Brenna’s brother and his growing enviromental radicalism and how far he is willing to go to stop poachers. Anderson presents the…

• Ranking The Hollywood Sisters

  1. Backstage Pass: Again maybe it’s nostalgia, maybe it’s the rose-tinted glasses but whenever I read this, I fall in love with it all over again so this gets the number one spot. The wit, the fun, the inadverted celebrity jinx Jessica brings to all the guest stars. This was as an excellent introduction into…

Her memoir mixes prose and poetry as she chronicles her childhood in five parts: Part 1, i am born which covers her childhood in Ohio and her parents’ separation; Part 2, the stories of south carolina…

• Book Highlight: Every Body Looking

  This has some commonalities with Elizabeth Acevedo’s The Poet X following a girl’s coming of age story featuring first gen problems in verse form. However, Ada’s story takes a different track. Her name in Igbo means “first child” befitting how she shoulders the expectations and pressures of everyone else, trying to be a good Catholic…

  So I already wrote a post about how I enjoy TCM books (and the channel in general) so of course, it inspired me to read biographies of some of Hollywood’s brightest stars. No reviews here since it’s been a while since I read them but here are some good biographies to begin with that give…
