What’s in a seal? Prestige, praise, protection, a blessing. Seals have existed for many centuries. They date back to some of the world’s first civilizations. Today we use them mostly to award prizes. If you’re a book lover of literary prizes, then you’re used to seeing seals on winning books and runners-up. Seals are now […]
I can hardly believe that 2019 has arrived so quickly. 2018 was a good reading year as a whole for me because I did complete my Goodreads goal to read 60 books. I also read 461 more pages than last year. However, there were quite a few things that did not go as planned that I […]
#MarchMystery Madness has been in full swing since March 1st and I decided to participate for the first time. I’m also doing #ReadingBlackout this month for the second time. January was a #ReadingBlackout month and February was of course #ReadSoulLit, specifically in honor of African-American writers. March Mystery Madness is giving me the opportunity to […]
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 […]

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 […]
