September has already started off with a book bang with Lazaretto by Diane McKinney-Whetstone. This is not a new novel. It was published back in 2016. I don’t know what it is with backlist books but they always seem to hit the sweet spot. These days there are so many books coming out that it’s […]
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.

Day 3: Home Sweet Home What is Home Sweet Home for an avid reader? Well I guess that could almost be anything. For me it’s lying on the sofa with a hot cup of tea or sitting at the kitchen table with a hot cup of tea. Actually anywhere I can pull out a book […]
Day 2: Top #RSL Book of 2021 It was very difficult to choose just one top Read Soul Lit book from 2021. I read so many excellent books last year. So I decided to pick 3 – favorite nonfiction, favorite fiction, and favorite poetry collection. On to the books…. Yellow Wife – Sadeqa Johnson Yellow […]
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 […]
