Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse is $1.99! This was a highly anticipated release and several of us talked about it on a former Hide Your Wallet. Have you read this one?
I found this month’s Kickass Woman in the pages of Redwood and Wildfire by Andrea Hairston. Pauline Hopkins was an Black author whose work broke barriers and called readers to action. Hopkins was born in Massachusetts in 1859. At sixteen, she began a career as a singer. She was known as “Boston’s favorite colored soprano.” She was also an actress and wrote plays. Her play Slave’s Escape, which later became Peculiar Sam; or The Underground … Continue reading Kickass Women in History: Pauline Hopkins
A Thorn in the Saddle by Rebekah Weatherspoon is 99c! I believe this is Weatherspoon’s most recent release and came out in October. It was mentioned in a Hide Your Wallet post and is book three in her Cowboys of California series.
It’s Bachelor time which means we have to finish the already terrible two-on-one date with Shanae and Genevieve. For those of you who tune in only for Pudding updates, she went to the vet on Monday. They had to mildly sedate her and put the Hannibal Lecter mask on her, and I’m not going to lie, when they took her in back to draw blood it sounded like that scene from Jurassic Park where they … Continue reading Elyse Watches The Bachelor–S26 E6: Even More Bullshit

RECOMMENDED: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang is $1.99! I loved this book so much and gave it an A-:
The Bride Test is so beautiful and Hoang was right when she said it was impossible not to love Esme. She’s tenacious and battles against her fear of failure, of judgement, and of her own self-doubt, to become this confident and self-assured woman. This Bride Test has only solidified my love for Hoang’s romances; they are truly a gift to the genre.
