“These are a few of my favorite things….”

HAPPY HOLIDAYS MY LOVES! I can’t believe it’s already Christmas. This year has flew by! Madness!

I know this week we’re talking about novels we loved this year but I found it a bit difficult since most of the books I read are books coming out in 2017. But I did get to a few, some YA, some adult, and even some non-fiction that I loved!

 

Bloggers Can’t Be Trusted by Starrene Rocque

When Starr first told me she was writing a fiction book a couple of years ago, I wondered what it was going to be about. And then she revealed this glorious cover and I gasped. This book is full of mic drop moments and a fun read for people who’ve worked in the entertainment industry. (Plus Olu Major kinda sounds like my type. LOL!)

 

 

 

 

I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual by Luvvie Ajayi

I literally DIED laughing out loud reading this book. Luvvie is one hysterical human being. We could all use this cup of truth tea.  

 

 

 

 

 

Girl in Pieces Kathleen Glasgow

This book torn me in pieces. Dark, raw, devastating yet triumphant, you want to run into the story and hold Charlotte, and yet, you also don’t.   

 

 

 

 

 

Shiny Broken Pieces By Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton  

Written by Deb Alums, this was the conclusion of the TINY PRETTY THINGS series and as a former dancer, this was one thrilling, beautiful, well-choreographed story. Loved each character equally. (OK, I’m lying, I loved Gigi the best!)    

 

 

 

 

 

The Female of the Species by Mindy McGinnis

One of those brilliant, timely books that take you by surprise and pivots the way we think/talk about rape. Damn, damn, damn good book!
