I LOVED the first two books in The Ending Fire trilogy but really hated the last one so off the the little free library we go! Hopefully someone gets it who can appreciate it more than I did. #Booksky #Blackbooksky

#sonofthemorning was phenomenal! It really showed that the #romantasy genre really has a lot of room to grow if more diverse voices get a hold of it. This felt so original and fun. No notes💕 #Booksky #Blackbooksky

This Woven Kingdom- 68% slow paced, great world building, not as much plot as I’d hoped.
Woven by Gold- 32% a good time if I don’t analyze anything.
The Bewitching-25% Started slow as 3 timelines had to be introduced, but now I’m intrigued.

It’s #TBR time! School for the baby starts Monday so I’ll actually have a regular schedule again. I’m going to have a great reading month 🤞🏾I’ve heard so much about the Raven Scholar that it’s now my most anticipated read #Booksky #Blackbooksky#Diversebooksky

I had such a fun reading month this July. King of Ashes definitely took the crown! I actually read 4 physical books so I’m very proud of myself🥰 #Booksky #Blackbooksky #Diversebooksky

Starting another physical book tonight. The first in this series was very fun and this is a short one so I should be able to finish tonight. #Mocktail is green tea/ginger/mint + habanero syrup. It has the perfect amount of kick 😋 #Booksky #Blackbooksky

Not really in the mood to read today but my #mocktail is fire. Coffee with pistachio cold foam and whipped cream. A pistachio and dark chocolate sugar rim. I was going to add some chocolate rum syrup but decided it would be too many flavors.

I’m in the mood for dystopian today. I’m only 11% in but The Art Thieves feels like a great read already. I’m intrigued because I can’t tell where this is going at all. I was choosing between this and Curdle Creek but CC is starting off a bit too slow for me. #Booksky #Diversebooksky #Blackbooksky

I recently read an ARC of this fun little novella. It’s perfect if you like a morally ‘dark’ grey couple who aren’t trying to make one another better and perfectly match each other’s freak. It releases 9/8 #Booksky

The trend on TikTok of readers tackling their physical #TBR is inspiring me. So tonight’s read is That Self-Same Metal. It’s been on my shelf for over a year now. #Booksky #Blackbooksky #Diversebooksky

CR-
Sinner’s Isle 15% 📖- I just started but this seems like it’ll be a fun time.
The Ending Fire 73% 📖- Imma finish tonight but only because it’s the end of a series & I paid for the hardcover. Otherwise it would be a DNF. It reads like she hates her characters.

It should really be standard practice to have a recap at the beginning of these fantasy series. I really appreciate Saara El-Arifi for this because I barely remember what happened. #Booksky #Blackbooksky #Diversebooksky

I’ve been trying to focus on finishing series I’ve already started so here’s to another immersive reading. I’ve loved this series so far and am really excited. Today’s #mocktail is passion fruit tea with 🍍 nectar and mint. #Booksky #Blackbooksky #Diversebooksky

Finishing a book gives me such a satisfying burst of endorphins. I’m finishing my 5th book so far in July and I’m going to try to keep these good vibes going. Tonight’s work listen will be another Nghi Vo novella 🤗 #Booksky #Diversebooksky #Blackbooksky

Going to work tonight but I should be able to finish up Freshwater on 🎧. This is my first book by Akwaeke Emezi and I’m not sure how to feel. I went in blind and I’m triggered. But I’ve heard their books tend to make the reader uncomfortable. #Booksky #Blackbooksky
