sWitch: a dark sapphic rom-com by Kat Blackthorne

medium-paced

2.75

There were parts of this book that were interesting, but I wouldn't consider it a favorite or anything.

I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown

informative medium-paced

4.0

"...I am grateful for my ancestor's struggle and their survival, but I am not impressed with America's progress...I feel no need to pat America on the back for these "acheivements". this is how it always should have been."

This book is a bit too faith-based for my current level of discomfort with organized religion, however it is still powerful and real and raw and important.

This book is so delightfully fucked up. Like, truly unhinged but I was still cackling and enjoyed the shit out of it. I'm an enigma, okay.

Unfurl by Elodie Hart

4.0

This book is part Priest/Sinner/Saint and part Salacious Player's Club. I do think that both of those series pack more of an emotional punch than this one, but I am so onboard for the smut this book offers.

This one was good enough to keep my attention, but also wasn't my favorite Lily Gold book. The tension came from our FMC's stalker storyline and not from the chemistry with the dudes.

Perhaps not the world's best written book, but dangit it was still a fun and spicy read. But like... medium spicy. I definitely saw people talking about how spicy it was and I feel like that was a bit of a let down for someone who reads just straight filth....
