Me running to catch up on my October TBR!

I’m working on completing more of my TBR but I’ve also been trying to find a work/reading/life balance. So what titles are you excited about? Did I forget any titles by any Authors of Color? Let me know here in the comments or on social media on Instagram @bookishgirlmagic (you can look out for when I go live, which is still sporadic but does happen), Twitter (I really refuse to use that new “name” because what even is that?!) @bookishgrlmagic, Threads @bookishgirlmagic (I’m not on it like I am on twitter cause ya girl has social media fatigue) and Clubhouse @bookishgrlmagic where you can find me mostly in book centered clubs/rooms (mostly on Tuesdays and Fridays) to chat with me. Also subscribe to this blog if you haven’t already because it makes me feel like I’ve done a spooky amount of reading! And to those who are subscribed, thank you so much, I truly appreciate y’all! Sending y’all bookish love and wishing you happy reading!

I’m reader who has a fierce love for books written by authors of color & belief in the importance of supporting them! My mission is to amplify their voices and work so this generation and all the others after them will have literature that will reflect them.
