2 Poetry Books By Black Authors I Enjoyed Recently
I love a poetry book. I love how easy the reads are, but how I still manage to leave with so much (if the poems are any good/I’m in the right headspace for them that is). I typically pick up two between longer reads. I don’t always looooove the reads. Sometimes, I only love one or two out of the whole collection. However, I always feel good for giving them a try. Here are two I think I outta let you know about. One is from an artist I was aware of before, and the other is from someone I never knew about till I saw the book on someone’s bookcase while over their place for the first time. Here they are:

HOW TO KNOW YOU’RE OVER A BREAKUP
Hey y’all, I’ll start by saying I am no stranger to the ole dating apps, crying over romcoms, and feeling like my chest is exploding (this was me last night), so I know a thing or two about the after aftermath. The time when you realize you’ll be just fine. I want to share how I know when I’ve moved on, and good questions to ask yourself to make sure you have moved on too.

I DONT recommend these 3 books pt. 1
It is honestly hard for me to not enjoy a book and give it at least a 2.5-3. I always respect the effort and say, “well, I’m glad they put something out into the world that they loved,” when I’ve completed a book (even if I wish I wasn’t the person that picked it up). I don’t even rate some books if I can’t think of where to place them due to length, genre or topic. It just depends. But here are ones that weren’t for me, and I acknowledged it.

5 Best Books of 2023
Hey there, I was just going through the books I’ve read last year and just looking into why I read them plus how I felt at the end. Last year was a pretty “interesting” one for me in terms of books. I started waaaay more than I’ve finished (deemed it the DNF YEAR to say the least), but I had some that really captured me. So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite books of the year (5/40 books total last year)
