With the Fire on High | Sticky Note Reviews
June 4, 2019
When I heard that Elizabeth Acevedo was releasing a new book, there was no doubt that it was going on my TBR. There was also no doubt that I’d be purchasing it (even though I hardly buy books anymore), especially given how much I loved The Poet X (and Acevedo’s reading of Ibi Zoboi’s Pride). … More With the Fire on High | Sticky Note Reviews
Saving Montgomery Sole | Sticky Note Reviews
May 26, 2019
I picked up Saving Montgomery Sole from the library because I was looking for a queer middle grade novel. I’d just finished Becoming by Michelle Obama and was looking to get back into fiction… … More Saving Montgomery Sole | Sticky Note Reviews
Shout | Sticky Note Reviews
May 4, 2019
I added Shout by Laurie Halse Anderson to my TBR because I saw it on either her Twitter or her Instagram. Simple enough reason. Anderson has been on my list of YA authors to watch since I read Speak early in my teaching career. Melinda, the protagonist from Speak, spoke to me. And in turn, … More Shout | Sticky Note Reviews
Sticky Note Reviews as a Meme?
April 30, 2019
I’ve had a few people tell me of late that I should turn Sticky Note Reviews into a meme. Or a challenge. And, well, I just don’t know. I’m a black queer blogger who reads and reviews primarily books by marginalized voices. As such, I’m not super popular. And that’s fine. I don’t need to … More Sticky Note Reviews as a Meme?
Psyched to Write Reviews | Book Blogger Hop
April 27, 2019
I’m between revisions of the end of my dissertation, so I thought I would tackle a book blogger hop post this weekend. The short answer is I don’t. The longer answer is this: I leave for work at 6 AM. I get home from work between 5:30 and 6 PM. Most of this semester, after … More Psyched to Write Reviews | Book Blogger Hop

I’m so close to the end. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m on my last lap. I’ve become a master at mixing metaphors. Here’s my dissertation update for today. I’d love to know what you think. (52 seconds) … More Motivational Challenges
Internment | Sticky Note Reviews
April 19, 2019
I was on a print book hiatus when Internment came off of hold at the library. I felt that it was too important a topic to sleep on (both literally and figuratively) so I read it during my commute to and from work for a week (rest assured that I wasn’t driving). Click through to see what I thought. … More Internment | Sticky Note Reviews
Black Enough | Sticky Note Reviews
April 13, 2019
Representation matters. I totally stan for a collection of stories about Black teens living their lives and trying to figure it all out. … More Black Enough | Sticky Note Reviews
