Book Review: Bi

Book Review: Bi

This is a great nonfiction book about the history and culture of bisexuality! It was informative and easy to read.

Book Review: The Asperkid’s (Secret) Book of Social Rules (10th anniversary edition)

Radical Radiance book review | 12 weeks of self-love rituals to manifest abundance, beauty, and joy

This book is a little nightmare of regular American self-care bullshit. Ever been on Instagram and swiped through stories of self-care influencers? That’s this book. There’s nothing useful or new in this book. Here’s a quote from the introduction that really highlights how I feel about it: “One of my ‘aha!’ moments happened while on […]
