Getting together in groups has been one of those things, and while Secret Santa swaps have existed virtually pre-2020, they are one of the only ways that Secret Santas are happening this year.… Read More Guest Post: Virtual Book Swap
Welcome to my monthly wrap-up post for September 2020! It’s very very late…but better late than never, right?

But I can’t have any… Read More Monthly TBR: August 2020

As an undocumented immigrant who’s on the run from her father’s Argentine crime-family, Manu is confined to a small apartment and a small life in Miami, Florida. Until Manu’s protective bubble is shattered. Her surrogate grandmother is attacked, lifelong lies are exposed, and her mother is arrested by ICE. Without a home, without answers, and finally without shackles, Manu investigates the only clue she has about her past–a mysterious “Z” emblem… Read More Lobizona by Romina Garber (Blog Tour: Review)
