Literary Reviews
aka reviews of all the books I’ve read
Unity? Security? Prosperity?
This is an honest book review of Internment by Samira Ahmed. Internment does a beautiful job of providing a new perspective in the conversation of inequality. However, it took me MONTHS to power through it, and there’s a reason why.

This is America… in a Book
This is a book review of the beautiful Dear Martin, written by Nic Stone. It is incredibly relevant and brilliant in every way possible.
The SJ Rating
This is a brief breakdown of the categorical system I use to rate products, music, works of art (the SJ Rating is most commonly seen on my literary reviews).
She Definitely Ready
This is a book review of The Last Black Unicorn, an autobiography by Tiffany Haddish, an inspiring woman who’s coined the saying “She Ready.”
To not spoil the story that is her life nor misspeak about any of the events in her life, the review is a little on the shorter side.
Jessie is Jessie is Jessie
This is a book review of Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum, one of my favorite books I’ve read while being quarantined. It is a beautiful novel I wish I had read sooner.
The Advice Book for Instagram Bloggers
This is a super honest and brief book review of Capture Your Style by Aimee Song, a self-help book for anyone who wants to be an Instagram blogger.
The Hurting. The Loving. The Breaking. The Healing.
This is a book review of Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur and includes a few of my favorite poems by her.
Don’t Get Tricked By the Title
This is a book review of The QB Bad Boy and Me, a young adult romance novel written by Tay Marley.
Yes, I know the title is very… different, to say the least, but you can’t get tricked by the title.
Time for a WorkParty
This is a review of WorkParty: How to Create & Cultivate the Career of Your Dreams by Jaclyn Johnson. It is a phenomenal nonfiction work, and I hope this review does it justice.
Ranking All the Books I Read in 2019
Twenty nineteen was the year I got back into reading books. I’ve always enjoyed reading (for leisure, not textbooks), but I stopped when I started college. This year, I got back into reading again, and I’m so happy I did. Not only have I gotten back into reading books, but since I have this platform, I decided to write reviews of all the books I read.
To finish this year of leisure literature, I decided to rank all six of the books I read this year.
