~Mr. Darcy~ Darcy and Elle a match made in Seattle! Originally published November 10, 2020 and currently has a solid 4 stars on good reads! Both PNW and Louisville devoured this #OurVoices Romance novel. This was the first LGBTQ novel I had ever picked up and honestly was mostly excited to read about a place I’ve already been, but was pleasantly surprised and found myself getting into the growing connection between our main characters. This book was a quick read and Portland Jess calls is a full sensory story, and Louisville Jess puts it “it’s getting everything wet!”.  The connections growing were subtle and believable. Typically for a romance novel you expect over the top dialog and a times cringe descriptions of steamy scenes. That was NOT the case here and it seemed so thought out and real. I really feel these people are real and folks I’d want to be friends with. This book wasn’t soapy cilantro for us! We loved the story, the atmosphere that Bellefleur creates, the tasteful and still super sexy sex scenes (there’s two!) all around great fun to read and we will for sure be reading the next sequel. Book Rating: PNW Jess: 3 stars - Louisville Jess: 3.75 stars Check out the episode for the full review! (at Seattle, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLr6_MWD34N/?igshid=l4llo880sl4y

I am excited to discover new black authors that I haven’t read. These will sit proudly alongside my favourite works by Zadie Smith, Bernadine Evaristo and Andrea Levy to mention a few.

Go watch When They See Us on Netflix right now it’s such a great watch and a great look on how injust the system can truly be these men’s voices need to be heard and the corruption of the government needs to be uncovered and exposed and the big horrible role Americas current “president “ played in this and how hateful people were #centralpark5 #centralparkfive
