www.instagram.com/reel/CaKiDB0ABKz/ Debbie Doesn’t Do It Anymore by Walter Mosley was a book that I enjoyed surprisingly enough. I could feel all the work Mosley did to try to right his lead female character authentically. He didn’t do too badly. This book was interesting and had that vibe of someone trying to do things differently but […]

Happy Black History Month! For me, Black History Month is everyday, but I enjoy that there is a month where I can devote some exclusive time to celebrating my people and learning even more about them. February is also the month when Read Soul Lit got its wings. It’s the month when we take the […]
I had the pleasure of reading Blues to Blessings: Moving from Fearful to Faithful by Suzette Webb at the beginning of this year. I don’t usually read books like this which would be classified as self-help, but this one I found interesting and I could see how it could be a big help to a […]

This live discussion contains spoilers so if you haven’t finished reading you might want to wait until you do. Enjoy! If you’d like to pick up […]
Day 25 – Drink & Book(s) Today I decided to take a picture of one of my favorite mugs (New Orleans – Bourbon St. mug) and a nice chunk of my ReadSoulLit shelves. It always makes me very happy to drink a great cup of tea and to read a good book. Nothing can beat […]
Day 23 – Eternally Classic Phenomenal Woman Four Poems Celebrating Women is definitely eternally classic….. The video below is of Maya Angelou reciting Phenomenal Woman. It’s hard to believe she isn’t here anymore. […]
Day 21 – December Wrap Up My December 2019 ended with a bang because I was lucky enough to read The Nickel Boys, Red at the Bone, and In West Mills. All three were five-star reads for me. The Nickel Boys was saddening but a wonderfully told story shedding light on the horrors that took […]
