A depressing but necessary read. “Black Angels” is a memoir collected by the oral history of early 20th century nurses who were children of former-slaves, saw WW1, survived the Great Depression, moved to the north where they faced continued racism, and then lived through WW2. These are the black female nurses who chose the thankless job of caring for those suffering from the vile disease of TB because white nurses would not. Because they were excellent at their job, their stellar documentation and records were used as data in the pharmaceutical development of Isoniazid.

Halloweentown x Vampire Diaries x Gossip Girl. Maezo’s novel is set in a small town with a dark past. Congrats on publishing!

A fun take on behind the scenes of adapting the real-Von Trapps into a play!

Each time a Liz book comes out I don’t think I can love it more than the last. “This one will be the dud for me.” Nope. Banger after banger. Obsessed - IYKYK.

Great writing. Tangible and developed characters who have chemistry. Perfect pacing. 5 star mental health rep.

Ivy’s writing takes you on a visceral emotional journey directly alongside Callum and Lark’s story. They are adorable and this novel is a poetic front row seat to a love you don’t wanna miss.

NR; I am not the target audience for this one. DNF
