PIRATE KISSES !!! Drake LeVeq! 😩 now that is a MAN! ♥ the Black Republican rebels dishing out justice by feeding that murdering planter to the gators in the swamp *chef’s kiss*

just started & I already know it’s gonna eat… the Black cultural nuances Tananarive Due sprinkles within her stories create a feel of familiarity. ugh, I love her 🤎

helppp, I need an absolutely engrossing audiobook rec !!

spoilers…


you know what, maybe I AM Sherlock Holmes cuz I knew it was gonna be some Gone Girl shit… plot twist, but was it really?? 😏 I knew Natalie was a mf but not a killer!

I HATE Natalie, but I still don’t think she’s a killer. it’s giving set up ?? chile, I’m no Sherlock Holmes tho… smh

okay so Natalie is scandalous & unethical af… idk if she’s a killer tho

um… they calling Dawn weird when she just seems to be autistic… I have a feeling she’s the villain though? maybe on some Gone Girl ish?? 🧐

a Reconstruction-era romance set in New Orleans that features a man from an elite family who can build a house, fine af & takes initiative & gutsy schoolteacher who doesn’t believe in love… yeah, I’m all the way in! ☝🏽

finishing this tomorrow but SHOUTOUT to Tananarive Due for winning the Bram Stoker Award (thanks Mike for telling me this). this book eats & deserves credit. I’m all torn up about it 😭 gripping, traumatic, layered & I’m SCARED. lawd don’t let nothing happen to ROBERT

reading this at work (I work at a library) & honestly, I deserve jail for it 😭

smh…

almost-incest with a minor in the woods… it’s not hitting & why would it?? lmaooooo. need recs for decent dark romance, cuz the shock value Credence gives is cheap!

not Redboneeeeeeee noooooo they got my dawg omg. time to get they asses, Robert!!

Uncle Jaaaakkkkeeee?! *Soulja Boy voice*

a gripping, haunting tale of racial injustice, abuse, and murder that is full of rich, Black historical references. there is layered storytelling, intriguing paranormal elements, and complex, interesting characters, even the unlikeable ones!

Miz Lottie is that girl! fav character so far
