Book 20: Gone With the Wind – Margaret Mitchell
Well I survived the slog. At points I honestly didn’t think I would get through the novel and really should have waited having just finished the five books of Martin’s epic saga, but I did and I...

Book 25: The Color Purple – Alice Walker
I must preface this post with the caveat that prior to reading the novel I knew little about it. I vaguely knew that Whoopie Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey were connected to the film, but that was it. And...

Book 15: The Mark of Athena (The Heroes of Olympus #3) – Rick Riordan
I can’t wait for the next in this series to come out! When it does, I’m going to re-read the first three all over again because there were so many details I only vaguely recalled AND their just fun...
View ArticleBook 383: Managing Up – Rosanne Badowski and Roger Gittines
My final foray, at least for the time being, into professional development was Badowski’s Managing Up: How to Forge an Effective Relationship with Those Above You, and if I’m completely honest it’s the...
View ArticleBook 428: Girl In A Band – Kim Gordon
For our second book in our year of biography/autobiography/memoir books someone chose Kim Gordon’s Girl In A Band. It’s a look back on her time in the band Sonic Youth (never heard of them) and about...
View ArticleBook 436: Dragons in the Waters (O’Keefe Family #2) – Madeleine L’Engle
I am slowly making my way through the final books in the Kairos portion of L’Engle’s oeuvre. This is the sixth book in chronological story order and the fourth book published in the Murray-O’Keefe...

Of course after I saw the trailer for Love, Simon (embedded at the end of this post) I HAD to read the book they adapted it from. Who doesn’t love an awkward teen romance, especially an LGBT one?...
View ArticleBook 607: Worth Searching For (Heart of the South #2) – Wendy Qualls
I grabbed this, along with eight other romance novels Qualls wrote or co-wrote, when Amazon was having a sale in February. I enjoyed Worth Waiting For and figured why not. They’re usually pretty short,...
View ArticleBook 608: Worth Fighting For (Heart of the South #3) – Wendy Qualls
I’m going to go back on my word and say this might edge out Worth Waiting For as my favorite of the Heart of the South trilogy. As I said, I got this with a bunch of others last month when they went on...
View ArticleBook 640: What If It’s Us? – Becky Albertalli & Adam Silvera
I hate that I keep describing these young adult rom-com books as adorable, but in my old age (bwhaahaahaaahaa, but seriously I’m ancient in gay years) they really are quaint adorable stories that I...
View ArticleBook 738: Another Chance with Love (Chances #2) – Blake Allwood
I kept going with Allwood’s books because I wasn’t totally put off by the less-than-stellar copy editing and I had nothing more pressing to read. Plus start a series = finish a series 😀 Surprisingly, I...
View ArticleBook 911: The Bluest Eye – Toni Morrison
Toni Morrison is one of those authors who have always been on my list, mostly due to the controversy around their books (stupid book banners), but I’ve never gotten around to reading them. Both The...
