📚 #NonFictionNovember ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ A whole month later, I have returned to posting. Hope y’all are ready to start seeing my face and opinions again 😌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I didn’t envision I was actually going to read any nonfiction this month (excluding anything for work), but when I saw Erin @erinreadswhat tweeting about reading Disability Visibility, I knew I needed the motivation of a buddy read to start. And I’m so glad I did because this book was amazing. As someone who’s chronically ill, so many things resonated with me, and I was exposed to so many frameworks that I had never thought of or been introduced to before. I highly recommend this to anyone, especially those who aren’t disabled. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then the day I finished Disability Visibility, I started Ace and devoured it. It’s hard to describe how much I loved this book, but the dedication alone called to me, and in the first page of text, I knew I was apart of an experience that included me. I learned entire new ways to frame the kind of relationships I want and how to better express the things I want. It was so refreshing to see the way the author broke down compulsory sexuality and how it affects us all. Would definitely recommend this for ace and allos as everyone can gain a better understanding of sexuality from this book, and how better to create a society where sexual relationships don’t have to be the norm, especially legally. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have y’all read any good nonfiction this month?
⭐️GIVEAWAY CLOSED ⭐️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Deeper the Roots by Michael Tubbs — 11/16/21 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I loved reading The Three Mothers last year, so I cannot wait to read Michael’s memoir because this family is dripping in talent and wisdom. @lifemeetsliterature has said so many good things about it, so 👏🏼👏🏼 y’all are gonna want a copy.

Cover Reveal: Kings of B’more by R. Eric Thomas Cover Reveal: Kings of B’more by R. Eric Thomas — 05/31/22 🎡 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Kings of B’more comes out on my birthday, so you already know it’s going to be iconic. Plus, look at how cute this cover is 🥺 I’m screaming at how good it sounds too, and Black queer boy rep is severely lacking, so we love to see it here 👏🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Thanks to Penguin for letting me be involved in this 🤗 Check out the link in my bio for more info. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Description: Two Black, queer best friends face their last day together with an epic journey through Baltimore in this magnetic YA debut by celebrated cultural critic and bestselling author of Here for It R. Eric Thomas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ With junior year starting in the fall, Harrison feels like he’s on the precipice of, well, everything. Standardized testing, college, and the terrifying unknowns and looming pressures of adulthood after that—it’s like the future wants to eat him alive. Which is why Harrison is grateful that he and his best friend, Linus, will face these things together. But at the end of a shift at their summer job, Linus invites Harrison to their special spot overlooking the city to deliver devastating news: He’s moving out of state at the end of the week. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To keep from completely losing it—and partially inspired by a cheesy movie-night pick by his Dad—Harrison plans a send-off à la Ferris Bueller’s Day Off that’s worthy of his favorite person. If they won’t be having all the life-expanding experiences they thought they would, Harrison will squeeze them all into their last day together. They end up on a mini road trip, their first Pride, and a rooftop dance party, all while keeping their respective parents, who track them on a family location app, off their trail. Harrison and Linus make a pact to do all the things—big and small—they’ve been too scared to do. But nothing feels scarier than saying goodbye to someone you love.
Cover Reveal: See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Sol Cover Reveal: See You Yesterday by Rachel Lynn Solomon — 05/03/22 🛗 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So honored to be helping with the cover reveal for See You Yesterday! Shoutout to the cover designer: @lauraeckes_. Swipe to see how perfectly this cover matches Today Tonight Tomorrow. Like I’m obsessed. T3 was amazing, so I cannot wait for See You Yesterday 🤩 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The only time loop book I think I’ve read is Opposite of Always by Justin Reynolds, and I loved the concept, so I’m very ready for this. Rachel could publish her grocery list and I would read it mesmerized. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Description: Barrett Bloom is hoping college will be a fresh start after her messy high school experience. But when school starts on September 21st, everything goes wrong. She can’t switch out of her Physics 101 class even after being humiliated by the awkward guy sitting next to her, and she botches her interview for the college paper. At a frat party that night, she accidentally tips over a tiki torch and sets the place on fire. She panics and flees, and when she realizes her roommate locked her out of their dorm, she falls asleep on a couch in the common room. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The next morning, Barrett’s perplexed to find herself back in her dorm room bed, no longer smelling of ashes and crushed dreams. It’s September 21st. Again. And after a confrontation with Miles, the guy from her physics class, she learns she’s not alone—he’s been trapped for months. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When her attempts to fix her timeline fail, she agrees to work with Miles to figure out what’s going on. They start skipping their classes in favor of the library and research trips that take them into the unexplored underbelly of the university and across state lines. As Barrett starts to fall for Miles, the two of them must find a way to grow and change alongside the shifting fabric of the universe. But the one question they can’t answer is what they’ll mean to each other if they finally make it to tomorrow.
