Your weekend is booked!

I've been reading up a storm up here, so I'm blessed to bring you FOUR recommendations! Buckle up, my buttercups! And if you've enjoyed any of these gems, let me know in the comments!

MEXICAN GOTHIC, Silvia Moreno-Garcia: For all you horror fans (👻) Lush, seductive and deadly - this creepy, eerie, gothic horror novel gave me the shivers in the best way. Nightmares, foggy graveyards, family curses and poison in the walls - Mexican Gothic was unique and enthralling and just the right amount of spooky. Plus Noemí Taboada was the perfect heroine, I loved every moment she was on the page.

I'M STILL HERE (Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness), Austin Channing Brown: This memoir should be mandatory reading. It's enthralling - I read it in one sitting. Austin's memoir tells the story of being a Black woman in America. It spotlights the impact of white supremacy from massive institutions to micro-aggressions, and truly emphasizes the antiracist actions that make real change, not just words that become empty promises. It's important and vital and I really believe it should be on every single bookshelf.

WALKING WITH THE WIND (A Memoir of the Movement), John Lewis: On Tuesday, I sat on the couch and read 275 pages of this book without interruption. Another memoir that should be mandatory reading. I have about 150 pages left, and I'm already sad when it will be over.

THE LADY'S GUIDE TO CELESTIAL MECHANICS, Olivia Waite: I'm at the halfway point of this freaking perfect historical F/F romance. Two heroines literally chart the path of the stars together and it is so dreamy and romantic I can't stand it. I'm picking up the next book in the series as well - The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows (lesbian romance + beekeeping = my personal catnip)
