So I picked up Meaty by Samantha Irby because a friend of mine said I should. She let me borrow her copy, actually. I haven’t read slice-of-life blogs since college, and I don’t often read essay collections, so this was a little different for me. But I was here for it.

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
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

Please excuse the fact that everything is backwards in my photo. I didn’t manage to catch it before I posted it. I also managed to leave this post in my queue and not post it, even though I finished On the Come Up a few days after it was released. On the morning On the … More On the Come Up | Sticky Note Reviews
I picked up A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi because I loved the Shatter Me series. I didn’t know that this one wasn’t fantasy when I checked it out from the library, but honestly, that didn’t matter. I’m always here for a good contemporary novel. Even one as heartbreaking as this one.
