#moodreader problems

20 min after making this, Libby came through with Graveyard Shift by M.L. Rio, which I couldn't stop myself from immediately starting.

Okay, gotta sit down and get serious about The Haunting of Hill House. Can I read the other three quarters of the book in one day? Probably. But I've definitely been reminded of how much more dense many books used to be. Moreso in content than size. It's taken me quite a while just to get around the 50(ish) page mark.

But I did that poll so now I have to finish it. I may allow myself to dip into Sunday as well. I'm on a Tuesday-Monday schedule anyway. But I'll cap it at Sunday.

I have a couple arcs I need to read but I'm just not in the mood for any of them. I got another one today that I'm so excited for but I'm just not in the mood for it right now. And if I read it, I won't like it.

See this is 100% my problem.

I'll do the same when I buy a book. It'll sit there until I'm ready to read it.

Being a moodreader is annoying sometimes.

4/5 Book Review: The Heads of the Colored People by Nafissa Thompson-Spires • This book resurrected my interest in short-stories, which is saying a lot because I despise short-stories! • From the beginning, the author shared stories that went right to the heart of problems that we face today: - Mental illness - Racial Identity issues - Body image - Colorism in the black community - Growing up black/coming of age - Friendships/Acquaintances with black women - Sexual harassment - Parenting/mothering - Suicidal ideation/attention seeking - Black women mortality - Social Media - Classism in the black community - Microaggression from whites - Competition within the black community • This collection of short-stories were well-written, intensive, engaging, and thought-provoking. One theme I saw in a few stories, were how black people had to deal with whiteness, being the only black, and/or hiding how black they were to fit in with societal norms. Black people are always having to suppress and deescalate to save themselves in certain situations. Thus, making us more volatile to people who look like us, and unleashing our frustrations on seemingly simple mishaps or miscommunications. • The entire collection is just a great piece of work, and provides many areas to discuss regarding the themes presented in this book. Very well worth the read! I went back and forth between 4 and 5 because some of the stories didn't end conclusively for me, but overall, very well written. • #readreadread #write #maddblackreads #wellreadblackgirls #diversespines #goodreads #blackreaders #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookstagrammer #diversebooks #bookworm #blackgirlsread #lovetoread #blackwomenread #blackandbookish #bookreview #blackbookblogger #bookclubofinstagram #moodreader #readwhatyouown #theheadsofthecoloredpeople #nafissathompsonspires https://www.instagram.com/p/CBZKsyJA1rz/?igshid=u9xg71s4mvqq

3/5 Book Review: Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert · · This will be an unpopular opinion, but this book was just ‘ehhh’… ok. The Goodreads reviews are gushing with 5 star reviews, but honestly, I don’t see how. · · I didn’t like Chloe. Red was a fool. The story wasn’t believable. The writing was witty and somewhat entertaining. The sex scenes were good, but somewhat unrealistic, seeing that Chloe had severe fibromyalgia. Chloe and Red was really unprepared to be in any type of relationship, and it showed, but somehow made it work even after all the blunders. I could’ve skipped half of this book and still would have not missed a thing. I give it a 3 because it was funny in some parts, and I appreciated a “real” character with real-life problems in a romance novel, but that’s where it stops. Now I gotta read part 2. · · My full review you can find in the link in my bio. · · #readreadread #write #maddblackreads #wellreadblackgirls #diversespines #goodreads #blackreaders #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #bookaholic #bookaddict #bookstagrammer #diversebooks #bookworm #blackgirlsread #lovetoread #blackwomenread #blackandbookish #bookreview #blackbookblogger #bookclubofinstagram #moodreader #readwhatyouown #getalifechloebrown #romcom https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOLG8fgRtT/?igshid=qgzy63lsggke
