Books

From Page to Pod

Welcome to my bookshelf, where I keep track of all the books I’ve read. From books I’ve devoured for my podcasts (Between the Reads and Staying On Code) to ones I’ve picked up just for fun, they’re all here!  I’m not about reading what’s trending. The books you’ll find here are often overlooked but still pack a punch, including works by Black indie authors and nonfiction books that explore the complex experiences of being Black in America. From mystery novels to romance, biographies to science fiction, you’ll find a diverse and inclusive array of literature here. This page will be updated weekly. Right now, there are no reviews,  just book covers. So just enjoy the eye candy.
