8 Spicy Dark Academia Romance Books to Read This Autumn

I’ve curated a list of deliciously spicy dark academia romance reads for you — and one that offers up something for everyone. Because it’s back-to-school season, and you deserve a little spice with your studies!

Hooray, It’s Time for New Books!

The summer may be winding down, but the new releases never stop. I worked all weekend, going through catalogs, and most have added almost two hundred books to my TBR! (Related: Someone PLEASE figure out a way to stop time so I can read more.) Today, I have a reissued award-winning story collection, a memoir from a librarian fighting the good fight, and a middle grade campfire horror story.

Here Are All the Books in FRIENDS — And its Best Bookish Moments

Hello book lovers — how you doin’? On my millionth rewatch of Friends, I took on a project for no good reason except a lot of curiosity and a little old-school obsession with the show: I dedicated myself to figuring out every book the friends read throughout all ten seasons.

Children’s Books About Kamala Harris

Anyone else feeling a bit more excited about the forthcoming election after the DNC? I’m going to recommend children’s books about elections a bit closer to when voting begins, but I thought I’d go ahead and review books about presidential hopeful Kamala Harris today. My daughter has been asking questions about her lately, and I’m sure she’s not the only kid with questions! But first, here are my reviews of two new releases.
