Home.Girl.Hood. By Ebony Stewart |#bookreview #netgally #ebonystewart

My thoughts / review:

This is a collection of poetry that is yet powerful but is much needed. Ebony Stewart talked about being a black woman especially an “around the way girl” she spoke about growing up and sex, as well LGBTQ. There was so much the author talked about I felt she was talking to me directly as if we were good friends. Mostly everything I could relate to.

The author spoke from her heart and soul. And I believe as a reader I felt her words. This collection is something I will be re-reading many times over It was that good. Although I feel a lot of black women will understand where the author is coming from and can relate to it the most, just about anyone can read this collection of poetry and get a feel and true understanding of what Ebony Stewart went through and has faced.

Overall I absolutely loved this! *Thank you to Netgally, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read and review this book for my own honest opinion*

April TBR 2022

So for the month of April I decided to have a color spinner wheel decide what I read. I typically don’t do TBR because I always found them hard to stick to, but I really want to start reading more of the books I own so that’s where the spin wheel came into play.

One of the spin wheel choice

I decided to choose 5 books, so that’s 5 spins on the wheel and for the month I’ll try my best to read what was picked out for me.

April TBR picks

Synopsis to my tbr picks:

HEY BROWN GIRL

PUSSY PRAYERS

TEXT 2 LOVERS

BEAUTIFUL DISASTER

PROMISE BROKEN

I also have like 2-3 other books that I already started that will be included in April’s TBR as a way for me to finish them. I have some planned ARCs I need to get to as well this month. So wish me luck this month will be busy for me but I’m looking to get as much reading done as I can.

Happy Reading 😊

Grading Curves by Naima Simone |#Bookreview #romancereader

My Thoughts/Review:

This is a Read me romance podcast novella. I really enjoyed reading this story, this is the story of Nikki and Dean. Nikki is just trying to start brand new with a new job in a new town. She walks into a tattoo shop to get a tattoo for saying goodbye to her old life and old way of being.

She meets Dean her tattoo artist and they immediately have an attraction. They end up meeting again when Dean start classes at college not knowing Nikki is his professor.

This was a fun teacher -student story that actually seemed realistic. It was fun to know more of a background of Nikki as well as Dean on their issues outside of them wanting to be together.

I will definitely be reading more from this author.

My rating: 4.75 ⭐
