Friday Reads is a social media hashtag that connects people by talking about the books they're reading as we head into the weekend. I like to use it as a roundup of the books we spent the week with, which includes authors of all heritages.

From its own ashes
A phoenix
First
Must
Burn.”

Guys, I got sick. Not with the flu, thank goodness, but I was unable to do anything. My husband took some time off from work to help me out with the girls and I spent most of last week in bed. My girls were also sick and stayed in. I don't read much when I'm unwell so I didn't finish most of my books. That doesn't mean that I didn't start some new ones...
I did switch it up a little and added some graphic novels to the mix. I also found more young adult novels to read. I'm really into science fiction right now.
Currently reading
Black Panther The Young Prince: The movie comes out today but for those who may be a little young, this book might be a good introduction.
Women Who Dared: Astrid is really into this right now. The illustrations are bright and inviting. Like with Little Leaders, its a great collection to have.
The Magicians: I love the show on Syfy so I thought I would check out the book.
Recently FInished
Saga Vol 1-3: I had heard of this series before, but I quickly picked it up once someone on Instagram suggested it. I am really enjoying it. Mind you is offensive and full crazy space would buidling, but it's amazing. There are currently 8 volumes in this series.
Want an even more comprehensive look at what I'm reading? This isn't the whole list!
