Happy Wednesday said no one in the history of adulting; prove me wrong I dare you… but since we are here, let’s share a mini review with no spoilers below ↴

𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙱𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙺𝚎𝚙𝚝 𝚂𝚎𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚝 ➟ ᴍʏ ʀᴀᴛɪɴɢ: ★ ★ ★ ★

What’s this? Me reading a best friends to lovers trope… no… but yes, yes I did. I devoured the 𝚆𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚛𝚎’𝚜 𝚂𝚖𝚘𝚔𝚎 series & I thoroughly enjoyed it all; 𝚃𝚑𝚎 𝙱𝚎𝚜𝚝 𝙺𝚎𝚙𝚝 𝚂𝚎𝚌𝚛𝚎𝚝 was entertaining, charming, witty and gritty all at the same time. I laughed, cringed and swooned.

The characters were absolutely likable and though not my favorite type of trope it definitely had an easy flow and evolution that felt natural when the romance grew. And the drama, it was a train wreck that I could not look away from, and there was a ton of drama that added to plot.

This was definitely enjoyable; if you are looking for a standalone series that is cute and fun, easy to connect and laugh, this is right up your alley!

Full review posted on blog, link in bio! & thank you to @tlcbooktours for providing a copy for a review!

♥ Stay safe, stay fresh my comrades!

#superthankful🙏🏻 for @tlcbooktours and @tlcdiversity for selecting me as a #booktourhost for #amillionquietrevolutions by @rockin_robin_1
This is a bright stunning debut for readers like me who loved The Poet X, #felixeverafter and #aristotleanddantediscoverthesecretsoftheuniverse. Plus@orangeskyaudio
produced the audiobook and the narration was excellent.

Robin Gow’s A Million Quiet Revolutions is a modern love story, told in verse, about two teenaged trans boys who name themselves after two Revolutionary War soldiers.
For as long as they can remember, Aaron and Oliver have only ever had each other. In a small town with few queer teenagers, let alone young trans men, they’ve shared milestones like coming out as trans, buying the right binders – and falling for each other.
But just as their relationship has started to blossom, Aaron moves away. Feeling adrift, separated from the one person who understands them, they seek solace in digging deep into the annals of America’s past. When they discover the story of two Revolutionary War soldiers who they believe to have been trans man in love, they’re inspired to pay tribute to these soldiers by adopting their names – Aaron and Oliver. As they learn, they delve further into unwritten queer stories, and they discover the transformative power of reclaiming one’s place in history.

Robin Gow is a trans and queer poet, editor, and educator from rural Pennsylvania. They are the director and founder of Transcendent Connections, an organization that provides trans education resources to support trans youth. Gow also founded the New York City trans and queer reading series Gender Reveal Party. They live in Pennsylvania with their pugs, Gertrude and Eddie.

Ousman Umar is a shaman’s son born in a small village in Ghana. Though his mother died giving birth, he spent a contented childhood working the fields, setting traps in the jungle, and living off the land. Still, as strange and wondrous flying machines crisscrossed the skies overhead, Ousman dreamed of a different life. And so, when he was only twelve years old, he left his village and began what would be a five-year journey to Europe. Every step of the way, as he traveled across the Sahara desert, through the daunting metropolises of Accra, Tripoli, Benghazi, and Casablanca, and over the Mediterranean Sea aboard a packed migrant dinghy, Ousman was handed off like merchandise by a loose network of smugglers and in the constant, foreboding company of “sinkers”: other migrants who found themselves penniless and alone on their way north, unable to continue onward or return home. But on a path rife with violence, exploitation, and racism, Ousman also encountered friendship, generosity, and hope. North to Paradise is a visceral true story about the stark realities of life along the most dangerous migrant route across Africa; it is also a portrait of extraordinary resilience in the face of unimaginable challenges, the beauty of kindness in strangers, and the power of giving back. —— 𝐐𝐎𝐓𝐃: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮‘𝐯𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮? • #northtoparadise #bookishcatsavant$

When your book matches the @littlefreelibrary perfectly, you know it’s gonna be a good day!!

What has been a good thing about today for you?

The book Edward and Annie is based off the account of what happened at the Shedd Aquarium during the early 2020 Covid-19 pandemic when the aquarium was shut down. We watch as the penguin friends get to explore the whole aquarium and meet lots of new pals. Such a fun book to read!

Thanks to @tlcbooktours @entangled_publishing and @mirandaliasson for my gifted copy of The Sweetheart Deal by Miranda Liasson. This is the first in the new Blossom Glen series - a small town romance and the main character is a pastry chef. I am always up for a great foodie romance!⁣
⁣
𝘚𝘺𝘯𝘰𝘱𝘴𝘪𝘴: Pastry chef Tessa Montgomery knows what everyone in the teeny town of Blossom Glen says about her. Spinster. Ice Queen. Such a shame. It’s enough to make a woman bake her troubles away, dreaming of Parisian delicacies while she makes bread at her mother’s struggling boulangerie. That is until Tessa’s mortal enemy―deliciously handsome (if arrogant) chef Leo Castorini, who owns the restaurant next door―proposes a business plan…to get married.⁣
⁣
Leo knows that the Castorinis and the Montgomerys hate each other, but a marriage might just force these stubborn families to work together and blend their businesses for success. The deal is simple: Tessa and Leo marry, live together for six months, and then go their separate ways. Easy peasy. ⁣
⁣
It’s a sweetheart deal where everyone gets what they want―until feelings between the faux newlyweds start seriously complicating the mix. Have they discovered the perfect recipe for success…or is disaster on the way?⁣
⁣
💬 I decided this new foodie romance should be paired with some delicious baklava. What is your favorite pastry or dessert?⁣

𝑰𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒇𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒏𝒐𝒘, 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐?

Originally published in French as 𝘓𝘦𝘴 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘴, 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 is an exceptional lyrical novel written by Emelie Prophéte and translated by Tina Kover. It is a novel about airports and coffee, solitude and grief, freedom and history. It is a book small in stature but gigantic, if you consider its beauty and profundity. It is a work of art that you, my friend, must read.

Don’t ask me if 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞 is poetry or prose or fiction or memoir, especially if you’re looking for a straightforward answer. I won’t be able to give you one, because to me, it is all of these and more. I could give you a general summary of the book, maybe, but that wouldn’t be enough to show you how the palimpsest of memories and meditations that permeate its pages conjures up image after vivid image, evoking emotions so piercing that the rest of the world simply falls away. I won’t be able to describe the heady stupor, the blissful melancholy that grips your chest the entire time you’re reading 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞, and long after it. So instead, here is a jumble of words and phrases that might tell you a little about this book: Haiti, Caribbean, passports, the U.S., migration, family, home, a funeral, three lives, one narrator, many dreams, stream of consciousness. Here are a few more: womanhood, desire, desperation, time, liminality, life. “A thread on the water. A fragile cord.”

Many thanks to @tlcbooktours and @amazonpublishing for my #ARC, to @tinakover444 for reminding me why I love translations, and to @emmelieprophete for giving me the most compelling reason to pick up French again. 📚
