In which I read two fantasy romance series back to back, both of which had good first books, better second books, and then fell apart in the third one.

2021 Q1 Wrap Up | 32 Books Between Jan and Mar
I tried so very, very hard to make this quick, but 32 books do not make for a fast time, even though I’ve already reviewed many of these on the channel.

Book to Doc Review: “I’ll Be Gone in the Dark” by Michelle McNarmara
Three-ish years ago, Michaela got me to read a true crime book (which I normally hate) and I was blown away by this title. Now, I’ve finally watched the long-awaited HBO docuseries based on the book and I can’t believe I was ALSO blown away!
Book to Documentary Review: “The Soul of America” by Jon Meacham
OOH BOY has it been a time since I’ve done one of these reviews (3 years, actually), and this one was totally accidental. In this review, I talk about both the book “The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels” by Jon Meacham and also the HBO documentary that was made of it. I have *feelings.*
