I'mย baaack. And this time it's part TWO of Bookย Bloggers'ย Mostย Anticipatedย Booksย ofย 2019. I am super excited about this post but I'm so sad that it's over. I've enjoyed this experience immensely and I hope the bloggers that have been so kind have also too. I also want to thank you, readers, for being so supportive! It means a [...]
Finally!, they exclaim. We've only been waiting for what seems like years! I know, I know. I was just blown away by everyone's enthusiasm and I wanted it to be perfect! A few months ago, I took to Twitter to figure out what sort of blog post fellow book bloggers would be interested in doing as a sort of featured post. I'm happy [...]
Emancipation, to him, was the stuff of history books and political speeches, not the reality in which he lived and breathed everyday. To say that I am shocked would be an understatement.

This was around the time that the phrase, 'Pray for the Rays' became commonplace I don't really know how to put into coherent words how I felt about this novel, because I don't actually know how I feel! Although a good solid crime fiction novel, One Last Prayer for the Rays was lacking something that [...]
Yes, you read that right. Originally, this series was going to be called 'Characters that didn't/don't tickle my pickle' but I wanted to be able to speak a bit more broadly, ya feel?
