Social Media Strategy. Diverse Book Reviews. Slow Living Practices.

Last week I met my reading goal for the year! I've now read 50 books in 2021, which seemed like such a big goal at the beginning of the year. With all the health stuff I've had this year, I've had much more downtime than I'd originally expected and was able to meet my goal two months early. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop reading, of course. I'm still doing so much reading, but it's kind of nice to just wait and see what number of books I end up reading, without worrying too much about the number at this point.

Fall is probably my favorite season of all! Sure, my hands get super dry, and my joints start hurting as soon as the weather gets under 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but for the most part, fall is just such a vibe. It's cool, the clothes is cozy, hot chocolate is in, and it's Gilmore girls season! What else could a girl want? Oh, right. A good book to read while sipping said hot chocolate in that cozy outfit.

Black Girl Unlimited by Echo Brown follows the childhood of Echo, a young quantum wizard growing up in the East side of Cleveland in the 90s. Largely based on the author's life, with an element of magical realism, we follow along as Echo learns various lessons of wizard training in the midst of a strenuous home life. Constantly trying to overcome her circumstances and surroundings weighs on Echo, and she is at times unsure of how she will carry forward.

Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close by Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman

Thank you so much @penguinrandom for my copy of Demystifying Disability: What to Know, What to Say, and How to Be an Ally by Emily Ladau! As you likely know if you've been here for a moment, I love bringing awareness to disability issues and reading books by disabled people, which why I was excited to hear about and read this one.

Thank you @plume_books and @penguinrandomhouse for this copy of I Love You, Call Me Back by Sabrina Benaim!

Thank you to @Netgalley and @randomhouse for the advanced digital copy of The Year I Stopped Trying by Katie Heaney.

Welcome, new friends! There are a few new faces around here as of late, so I'd like to take a minute to introduce myself. So here are a few details about me.
