My top reads of 2022

31st Dec 20226th Jan 2023Leave a comment

I read more in 2022 than any other year, and I think it's because I took the pressure off of promoting the blog on social media and just focused on getting the work done. I read 41 books (reviewed more like 45) and read a handful of five-star reads I would recommend to almost anyone. … Continue reading My top reads of 2022

Book Review: The Vibrant Years

I've been trying to read more books this year from voices and points of view that are different from my own. There's still a lot of work to be done, but when I saw that Mindy Kaling was throwing her weight behind The Vibrant Years by Sonali Dev *and* that it was an Amazon First … Continue reading Book Review: The Vibrant Years
