"Once justified, I thought the strangling guilt would release me and I could catch my breath. But vindication has no power over guilt. No amount of anger or rage directed at others can subdue it, because guilt is never about them. Guilt is the fear of one’s own wretchedness.

Freefall by Jessica Barry (No Spoilers)
So this was a quick little read. A little different from my usual, but I'm doing things differently this year so I'm here for it.

The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty (No Spoilers)
If you're looking for just a smol example of how out-of-hand my physical TBR is, look no further than this book.

The Cruel Prince by Holly Black (No Spoilers)
Wow, okay, so this is the Holly Black that I missed in White Cat (keeping in mind that I struggle connecting to audio books as a rule). What a depraved, fascinating story.

The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden (Spoilers)
Two 🔥 FIERY FAVORITE🔥 reads in a row!!! Which is a rarity for me, for sure.

I'm … Continue reading The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden (Spoilers)
Thick: And Other Essays by Tressie McMillan Cottom (No Spoilers)
What an excellent read! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have a new 🔥 FIERY FAVORITE🔥 Now, it wasn't excellent in the sense that it was easy to read. In fact, at some moments I had to re-read passages a few times before the full meaning actually sunk in, but it was totally worth it. … Continue reading Thick: And Other Essays by Tressie McMillan Cottom (No Spoilers)
