The chemistry and banter between these two 30-somethings is fresh and funny, and the spice is on fire! Just what I needed to get me out of my reading rut!

The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters- A Book Review
In conclusion, I enjoyed this novel and was emotionally invested in it from the beginning. However, despite the narration and writing quality, I got bored by the end. I still recommend Berry Pickers and look forward to reading her future novels.
Loved the book!

The Fake Mate by Lana Ferguson – A Review
Additionally, both main characters are physicians, shifters, and rare forms of their species (omega and alpha, respectively). If you are unfamiliar with shifters (aka werewolves), this book has little to no world-building; I would not consider it true paranormal or fantasy.

Remarkably Bright Creatures By Shelby Van Pelt – A Review
The writing is heavy at times as it deals with the fears of aging alone, grief, and loss, but it also can be funny as we learn about Marcellus and his antics at the aquarium and his valid opinions of his human captors.
The Dead Romantics By Ashley Poston – A Review
There were some loose ends in the character development I would have loved to work through, especially Florence’s grief; it just felt too surface-level for a book heavily related to death and dying. Additionally, despite one sexy conversation, I did not feel much tension between Benji Andor and Florence Day.
OBSESSED WITH THE BOOK!

Yellowface by R.F. Kuang – A Review
From the discussion on how social media sells books to how the publishing industry has already selected what will be a best seller long before books make it to market, Kuang gave details on the “dirty” side of publishing. As someone who spends lots of time engaged on book-related social media, I loved the critique I believe Kuang was trying to get across.
Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr – A Book Review
I love interweaving stories and Doerr more than delivers. He easily slides you through centuries and around the globe, leaving you wanting to see where each story goes. If you love books and stories and how they can lift us and connect us to the past this book is for you.
This Day Changes Everything by Edward Underhill. Review
Underhill writes a beautiful message about not needing to put a label on who you are or who you love. I felt this book did an excellent job illustrating the turmoil that all teens go through in their search for identity.

My favorite book of March was Butcher & Blackbird. Additionally, Beyoncé released a new album, and one of the collaborations is a cover of Blackbird (listen here). So now I am constantly reminded of the book.
