Happenings Off the Blog… This week has been… rough. For obvious reasons, I’m sure. Other than the obvious election stuff, not much happened other than work and my failing miserably at #HoHoHoRAT (yet again). This week I shared some awesome diverse reads, which I’d love to point you to if you haven’t seen them! And […]
I’ll start this post by admitting that I don’t read nearly enough diverse books. Part of that is simply because I don’t see as many that are as hyped as a lot of new releases I end up reading and part of it is just because I don’t take the time to search for them. […]

Sometimes I look through my Goodreads history and I just stop to wonder what the heck all these books are even doing here. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: my memory does strange things.
