What I Read in Women’s History Month 2021

April 1, 2021April 1, 2021 ~ Emily Bourque

I love March, and I always have fun looking for books for Women's History Month. Books about women and for women, and I'm particularly impressed by the diversity in genre and literary-ness (is that a word?) of the books I read this month.

What I Read: Black History Month 2021

March 7, 2021March 7, 2021 ~ Emily Bourque

I managed to read 10 books this month, which is hella impressive, if I do say so myself. Even more exciting is the fact that I read only Black authors this month.

What I Read January 2021

February 5, 2021February 5, 2021 ~ Emily Bourque

Oh hi, it's February 5th, and I still can't stop thinking about all the wonderful books I read in January. I put a lot of pressure on myself to get January right -- it's the first month of the year, a way to kick off my new reading goal.

What I Read August 2020

September 1, 2020September 1, 2020 ~ Emily Bourque

Honestly, August is the worst. Getting back into the swing of school and routine, starting the cheer season -- it's just always hectic and not a great reading month. Of course, 2020 is 2020 and, while this was definitely a HIGH STRESS month, it was not as busy as I typically would have been. *A … Continue reading What I Read August 2020

Best Books of Summer 2020

August 4, 2020August 4, 2020 ~ Emily Bourque

I definitely read some great books this summer, particularly on audio, and the books featured below represent a wide cast and crew, from settings in Nigeria and the Bahamas, to books featuring queer characters, both adult and YA, fiction and nonfiction.

What I Read March and April 2020

May 1, 2020May 1, 2020 ~ Emily Bourque

The social distancing period has not been kind to me in many ways, but the books on my bookshelf have been overjoyed by it.

What I Read: November 2019

November 14, 2019December 1, 2019 ~ Emily Bourque

Apparently Nonfiction November is a thing, and I was apparently a participant this month. Four of the seven books I read this month were nonfiction, which surprised me, but also I enjoyed the heck out of them.

What I Read: October 2019

November 1, 2019November 1, 2019 ~ Emily Bourque

October is always a good reading month for me. Despite homecoming and football games, I seem to be back in the routine of school and I find more time to carve out for good books. Plus, the weather is usually turning from hot-as-Hades to something much nicer, and it's easier for me to sit outside … Continue reading What I Read: October 2019

What I Read: August and September 2019

October 3, 2019October 3, 2019 ~ Emily Bourque

School starting is just always like my world explodes for a while and I have to wait for the dust to settle before I get anything fun done. Like reading. And these posts.

What I Read: July 2019

August 1, 2019August 1, 2019 ~ Emily Bourque

Y'all. This was my best month of reading in a longggg time. It was quality over quantity this month, but I'm not complaining!
