Day 28 – Favorite Author: My favorite author is extremely difficult to pin down to one person. So, I decided to site an author that I discovered last year that I’ve fallen head over heels in love with. J. California Cooper. She was an incredible storyteller and sadly she died last year. I’ve read two […]
Day 27 – Favorite Line/Paragraph: As you know Another Country was one of my favorite books that I read last year. It was such a revelation to me – from the writing style to the complex characters and to all the societal themes that are still relevant today. There were so many great lines from […]
Day 26 – Funny Book: I had to go with The Supreme’s at Earl’s All-You-Can-Eat. It really has been the funniest book I’ve read in a while. I think I should search out funny books in the future. It’s good to laugh between a few serious, heavy books. The thing that is so brilliant with […]
Day 25 – Favorite Male Character: It was difficult to choose my favorite male character because there are so many. I decided to choose one that I read not so long ago.

Check out my review here of it. I […]

Day 22 – Set Where You Live: I had to choose two novels for today’s theme – one that I read and loved and one that I can’t wait to read. Well if you’ve followed me on here for a while you know that I read and loved Giovanni’s Room which I picked up last […]
Day 21 – Would Give as a Gift: I would definitely give The Complete Collected Poems of Maya Angelou as a gift. This collection nourishes and comforts the soul. The late great Dr. Maya Angelou was a woman wise beyond her years. She is so terribly missed. Most of her life was spent supporting and […]
Day 20 – Best Cover: Looked through the shelves and found quite a few choices for best cover but couldn’t resist this one. Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This cover isn’t so common but it best shows off the book. I was so happy when I saw it while browsing on Amazon – Beautiful […]
