June Wrap-Up: Books by Black authors

I want to begin this post by calling myself out.

When it comes to reading diversely, I have failed. My privilege has allowed me to read from a homogenous group of authors without noticing, because again and again I find myself, a cis white woman, represented in those pages.

Black Lives Matter: Books by Black authors I’m reading this month

Hello party people. It has, once again, been a very long time since I’ve posted here.

It probably would have been even longer, if I’m honest, except for the fact that I want to use whatever voice I have to amplify the voices of others. Which is why I’m abandoning the half-baked TBR I had lightly considered for this month in favor of focusing on books by Black authors.

New Year, New Me: January, February & March Wrap-Up

I realize saying “new year, new me” in a post going up in April is more “not really new year, same me with irregular posting times,” but still. Let me have this.

I’m posting twice in one month!! Okay. Well, more like twice in four weeks.

Fine, twice in OVER four weeks. But that’s still frequent for me.

Oops: Wrapping up June, July, August, September, and October because I’m a mess

HERE WE ARE AGAIN.

My fourth-most recent post is a wrap up of FOUR MONTHS. Merely three posts ago!! That’s how recently we did this!!

And yet somehow, enough months have since passed that I have to wrap up five more.

The Behind the Book Blogger Tag: All me, all the time

HEY GANG.

Right now, I should definitely be working on a wrap up post. I’m months behind and I need to wrap up, like…50 books? 60? 70? An ever-growing and also absurd number. But instead I’m writing this.

And the simple explanation for that is I’ve posted so. Many. Wrap-ups. Lately, and even I can get sick of myself when I’m that repetitive. And I’m never sick of myself. Which is why we’re about to spend the rest of this post talking ALL ABOUT ME!

It’s my birthday so here is every book I’ve ever truly loved!

Okay, yes, hi. It has, once again, been a very long time.

But in this case, our primary objective is not to talk about the fact that I am terrible at blogging. (We all know this by now.) We’re here to talk about something much more important than that.

ME.

The Ultimate Wrap-up: Let’s talk February, March, April, & May

Well.

It’s been a goddamn while.

And when it’s been a goddamn while (read: FOUR MONTHS)…then we’ve got a goddamn lot to catch up on. So let’s get into it.

Guess who’s back

YOU GUYS.

HI.

WHAT IS UP.

January Wrap-Up: In a word, oof

I’M SUFFERING.

I know you may be tempted to be like “Oh, she’s just saying that,” due to the fact that I constantly complain and constantly exaggerate and not a single thing I have ever said can or should be trusted from now until the end of time.

But ignore all that, because I’M SUFFERING.

December Wrap-Up: The most wonderful time of the year (allegedly)

I’M LATE, I’M LATE, I’M LATE. FOR A VERY IMPORTANT DATE. NO TIME TO SAY HELLO, GOODBYE, I’M LATE, I’M LATE, I’M LATE!

Except actually I do have time to say hello. Because the thing I’m late for is wrapping up December. Which is what we’re doing now.

So…hello.
