What’s this again? Everyone’s least favorite style of post? A BITE-SIZED REVIEW ROUND-UP? That’s right, it’s finals for me and I am So Stressed because if I get One B I will die and lose my dreams of going to the University of Michigan for Grad School. So I read some books this week but […]
Literally everyone in this book is kind of an asshole, which is, eh. I enjoyed the romance subplot a lot. I don’t watch Bridgerton or engage with a lot of Regency stuff, so I have no opinion on any of that; I thought the audiobook narrator was very good. I read about half of this […]

This review is by my roommate, Jude, who read this because I sure was not fucking going to. Take it away, Judah! the main issue with this book is that our dear latitude, owner, author, and editor of this blog, my favorite roommate, would disappear on account of their xy chromosomes. but really — so […]
This book is funny and interesting and romantic and I loved all of the vibrant characters. As a chronic overachiever myself, every time Angela gets something fantastic but slightly under expectations, I’m also absolutely gutted. Honestly, I don’t really read straight romances, but this is a great exception. Five stars. Bookshop link.
This is a fantastic book that is half personal essay and half photography, although some of it feels like a textbook or a magazine, with little callouts of blocks of texts with facts about the Ivory Coast or explanations about African culture. Laetitia Ky’s hair sculptures and modeling is absolutely magnificent, and it’s laid out […]
I loved the concept of this book – the art style reminds me of the book “Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy” by Rey Terciero and Bre Indigo. I’m not versed in Ashinabee culture at all, and it felt jarring — but you know what? This book doesn’t have to be for me. Maybe you’re familiar […]
Honestly, I didn’t like this at all! Beth, if not my favorite Little Women character, is my special interest at the moment, and when the story starts she is already dead, and the grief that the sisters experience drives them apart rather than together (which is very interesting). Jo is queer in this retelling, which […]
Oof, some really short reviews for some great books this week. Sorry about that, folks, I’ve been consumed by migraines and looking at a bright screen is exceptionally bad for me. As always, I received everything from NetGalley ahead of time in exchange for an honest review. She Gets the Girl by Rachael Lippincott and […]
This book was provided to me at no cost through the Ann Arbor District Library in exchange for the social contract I agreed to with my library card. I checked it out! PROS I am very dramatic and will convince myself I have a tumor for every symptom, and this book tells you “it’s gonna […]
