Unbelievable I stuck to a TBR!😅 Sadly Black History Month will soon be over but luckily #readsoullit can continue on. Hope you all had a good one and have discovered some new authors and new books to read throughout the rest of 2018. My #readsoullit stack was pretty good. No duds and I managed […]
This was the first book I read by J. California Cooper and I was forever hooked on her captivating and life lessons-filled short stories. They were Wonderful stories, especially since I’m not a fan of short story collections. Homemade Love changed all that for me. So if you haven’t tried J. California Cooper this […]
Here’s another book that is on my 2018 TBR by an African-American writer called Jedah Mayberry. It’s a coming of age story. “It’s a lushly told reflection on a young man’s passage into manhood.” (back of The Unheralded King of Preston Plains Middle) Check out the video below with an interview with Jedah Mayberry talking […]
It wasn’t easy finding a title that starts with the letter D in my collection of books. In the end, I found two, Dust by Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor was one of them. I decided to go with Daughters of the Stone by Dahlma Llanos-Figueroa, which is on my TBR for this year, since I’ll be focusing […]
I’m going to do my best to stick with these, although I might change something. I’m so difficult about sticking to TBRs. My reading goals for March are to read for #marchmysterymadness and for #readingblackout. There are a few new ones on this stack I need to get to, especially The Obama Inheritance, which I’ll […]
I just received this special edition of The Darkest Child last week. This new cover is perfect. I’ve been hearing so many people rave about this book as well as saying how mad it made them. It’s a book that’s going to put us through a lot of emotions. Sounds like a book for me. […]
Black No More has been on my TBR for quite a while. It’s on my list of #SundayShorts to read this year. Black No More is a Harlem Renaissance Classic that explores race in an unexpected way, that will spark much thought and deep conversation. « What would happen to the race problem in America if […]
I was 21 years old in 1987 when this great American literary novel was written, Beloved. I read it for the first time in 1988 in a black women writers class. All I can say is unbelievably well written and unforgettable. I should definitely reread it sooner than later. Who knows maybe this […]
I had to choose this one especially since I finished it a few days ago. The Mighty Miss Malone is my first Middle Grade read of 2018. Hope it won’t be my last. I can see why its author Christopher Paul Curtis won the Newberry Medal. This was not my first read from Curtis. I […]
