Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey (spoilery review)
I would like to start by saying that I enjoyed so much of this book. I really love Tessa Bailey’s work. She has written amazing and swoon-worthy books that I never want to put down and this book had me like that for so long but then the end got a bit dull. Their conflict as a couple took me out because it seemed silly. The formula for romance books is to have a conflict that could be sorted out with just one conversation that they don’t have for most of the book. I love that formula, it stresses me…

Ten Trends to Seduce Your Best Friend by Penny Reid (spoiler free review)
I read Ten Trends to Seduce Your Best Friend by Penny Reid and I really enjoyed it. I was really into her writing after reading the Winston brothers series and have been making a point to get through her other books. There were many things I enjoyed about this book— I love a woman in STEM and a neurodiverse MC and/or love interest and in this book, I got both. Winnifred is a public school science teacher and Bryon is a bestselling fiction author. They both share a best friend who convinces Winnifred to begin a side hustle; to get…

I sobbed last night.
I sobbed last night. I tend to have these nights where all of the big sad just piles up. The mounds and mounds of pain that get bottled up just pour out It’s usually the same weight in me. It’s the thought that no one wants me. That I am an unwanted person who no one wants around It’s not true. I know it isn’t I am loved and cared for by so many amazing people and will be loved and cared for by many more in my lifetime I am a gentle person With a huge heart I still…

I also did a little astro-cratography and that is a place…

You’ve come with heartbreak and forgetfulness You forgot that you were the…

Lucky in love
I am so lucky in love. I used to think I was unlovable. My dad would tell me and my family “I love you but I don’t have to like you” and I started to think that’s how it’s is. I have people in my life that love me but they don’t always like me. I have no idea how or why I believed that for so long. I have people in my life who hold me when I’m overwhelmed and sobbing because I’m working a shitty job, behind in my studies and stressed about my aunt’s cancer. I have…

🙃
It’s about time for me to make a comeback. I’ve stopped writing because the only things I’ve been wanting to mention were things that were just a bit too personal. I wanted to do this whole story about panicking about making new friends and starting a new job and then another about living in the craziness that is my family but I hesitated. I tend to panic about how much I’m giving to people because some people handle vulnerability with a lot of negativity. Some people will add in their two cents when people just need to express and that’s…

favorite books I read this summer
Fake it Till You Bake it by Jamie Wesley I was reading this book when I’d just started my job and it helped me through so much of the stress with starting a new job. Following Jada and Donovan’s love story was fun and sweet. I loved every inch of this and have definitely been inspired to bake a few goodies along the way. Reading a book with two black successful people falling in love was exactly what I needed. Jamie Wesley really did her thang with this book. A reality star and a cupcake-baking football player pretend to be…
