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.

8 Best Books of Fall 2020

December 1, 2020December 1, 2020 ~ Emily Bourque

It's fitting that we are kicking off December with a massive cold front here in Louisiana. It's like a true goodbye to fall, and all of the things that come with fall (like sunshine past 5 pm and the ability to walk outside without actually growing icicles).

What I Read in May 2020

June 1, 2020June 1, 2020 ~ Emily Bourque
