What a fantastic anthology of Black poetry that spans centuries! This book changed the way I thought and had a lot of wisdom, insight, and emotional moments. I quite enjoyed it!

The fifth in a series is more fun than the past books because I know the area it takes place, and because I'm be to tarot. It's fun to learn about "magic" with historical references. A joy to read.

I really enjoyed this one. It was interesting to read about a bookseller who has a rare book collection. I liked both of the main characters and I am going to read the next two books in the series.

Bury Our Bones In The Midnight Soil

book cover


I loved the author's previous book, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, so I was excited to read this one. That one blended a strain of fantasy into the present world, and this one did too. I don't want to give anything away, but it's the interconnected story of three women—Sabine, Charlotte, and Alice—over a period ranging from the 1500s to present day, in Europe and Boston. It was interesting and entertaining, but not as good as Addie LaRue, for me.
I'm Glad My Mom Died

book cover


I was familiar with this author as my daughter loved watching the tv show "iCarly". I had no idea what this poor actress' childhood (or lack thereof!) was like. Very sad, but there was no surprise that, like many former child stars, she developed an alcohol abuse problem. She was able to incorporate humor in an otherwise grim subject matter.
The Night Singer
by Johanna Mk

book cover


I liked The Night Singer but the plot towards the end felt like it was getting nowhere. Also, the villain ended up being thrown in at the end as a wrap up for the book, which felt really unnecessary. The entire LGBT plotline was cool at first and offered a motive but it ultimately did not move the plot forward at all
The Bookshop of Secrets

book cover


This book is an historical fiction that takes place in Lisbon, Portugal during WWII. The descriptions of life in Lisbon kept my interest, but the characters and the story were exciting and comical. I felt I understood that even in dangerous times, people can find a way to use their talents and enjoy working with others toward a common goal.
Devolution

My first experience with a pseudo-documentary in book format. I found myself googling Mount Rainer's last eruption just to be sure that this story was in fact fiction. I greatly enjoyed this book and look forward to finding more similar to this.
