#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 26 Book and Music


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

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 […]

#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 25 First Letter of Your Name


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

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 […]

#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 24 #ReadSouLit TBR in March


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

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 […]

#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 23 Cool Shoes and a Book


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

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. […]

#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 20 Middle Grade


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

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 […]

#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 17 Must Read Mystery


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

I had to choose Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series. It starts in 1948 Los Angeles. Easy Rawlins is the main character. He’s a nice fair man with good intentions. He’s also very seductive too. Even though, he can sometimes get himself in quite a lot of mess. You’ll be routing for Easy right from the […]

#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 8 – Short Story Collection


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

The late great writer and poet, Henry Dumas, has been on my TBR for ages. However I didn’t have any of his books until last year when I purchased this short story collection from Coffee House Press. Note that his work isn’t easy to find these days.  His writing has been deemed brilliant and influential. […]

#ReadSoulLit Photo Challenge Day 7 – Fave Secondary Character


Bookish Stuff, ReadSoulLit

Mawu was the character that broke the sanity of the beginning if this novel. Slave women that accompany their masters on a retreat to Tawawa House. The seediness of this novel made me so mad, but the arrival of Mawu made the other slave women think of freedom for the first time.  She was strong […]
