Story5 out of 5 stars 1,019
America’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights—after all, history books were written by white men with their perspectives at the forefront. It could even be said that the devaluation and erasure of the Black experience is as American as apple pie. In Black AF History, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

I was hooked, interesting book

I’ve never followed the royal family very closely but the media’s wild coverage of Harry and Meghan influenced my decision to pick up this book. I’m glad I did, I couldn’t put it down. Harry does a magnificent job describing what it was like for him growing up royal (as the spare), losing his mom, and all the other pivotal moments in his life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 18
Seven days ago, I was just Talia—an art school dropout with an affinity for tattoos, a hopeless crush on my boss, and a knack for finding trouble. Now, I’m a gold-blooded, magic-harnessing, Runemaster in training. The good news is all of that has resulted in one hell of a promotion. Instead of sweeping floors, I’m sweeping swarms of venomous squatters out of castles.

I keep telling myself things could be worse. Okay, so my mom's been harboring some hefty family secrets. Big deal. And, yeah, maybe there are still two or three teensy details about Zayn that I don't know; his backstory, his private life, or his real name, for starters. Oh, and let's not forget that there's a bloodthirsty, power-hungry, magical mob boss who's due to appear at any moment.

I’m really enjoying this series. It’s witty, relevant, steamy, imaginative, and fun! Once again, Tara nailed Talia’s voice and character. Really enjoyable. Ended on a cliff hanger. Can’t wait for the 3rd audiobook.

When Zayn, your smoking hot boss, tells you never to touch the cache of deluxe tattoo ink locked away in his office, you listen to him…until the day you run out of your own ink, your squirming client is on the verge of peeing his pants, and your boss is nowhere to be found. Desperate times call for desperate measures, right?

Really enjoyed this book. I laughed. I cried. I blushed! This urban fantasy masterfully explores themes around grief, consent, and trauma while simultaneously being entertaining and fun. Additionally, Tara Novie brings the book into life with her brilliant narration. Can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 33
The heart of many hospitals is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It is a place where humanity, ethics, and science collide in dramatic and deeply personal ways as parents, doctors, and nurses grapple with sometimes unanswerable questions: When does life begin? When and how should life end? And what does it mean to be human? Nearly 20 years ago, Dr. John D. Lantos wrote The Lazarus Case, a seminal work on ethical dilemmas in neonatology. He described the NICU as “a strong, strange, powerful place”. The

Gripping read for this late preterm infant mom
Reviewed: 08-08-21
As a mom of a 35 week late preterm infant, I didn’t know how much I would get out of this book. My child spent five days in the NICU at birth (and was readmitted for four more days before his due date). I felt like a fraud in a way claiming to have a premie because so many people think of early to moderate preterm infants as premies, not 35 weekers. This book was fascinating on a number of levels and even validating. I was surprised by how much of my experience and complex grief was common among moms of premies. Beyond my personal interest as a mom of a premie, this books is also political without being partisan. This has been one of the most thought provoking and timely books I’ve read in a long time.
