A Curse So Dark and Lonely

A Curse So Dark and Lonely

My Thoughts: I was lucky enough to read a manuscript of this book way back in February of 2018. I even submitted this blurb: Comfortably familiar yet incredibly unique, A CURSE SO DARK AND LONELY is the Beauty and the Beast retelling I’ve been waiting for.

What Momma Left Me

What Momma Left Me

My Thoughts: This is a reissue of Renee Watson’s debut middle grade novel. (The new packaging definitely has more YA appeal! The story will, too.) Her novel Piecing Me Together was my favorite book of 2017 (and one of my all time favorites!) so you know I was excited to go back and check this one… Read more »
