Day 7: Black Shelfie Today’s picture is my bottom shelf on my color coordinated bookshelf. It’s my smallest and it’s the first time I decided to arrange my books by color. It’s taken me a while to get used to, but I feel arranging my books by last name is the best. I can find […]

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 […]

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 […]
Day 17 – A 2010s Classic I couldn’t resist choosing Lighthead by Terrance Hayes. This was the first collection I read. Y him which wasn’t suggested to me by Danielle from Dani! Dany! Danie! On Instagram. I was not disappointed. His poetry is meaningful, intentional, and creative. I know poetry can often times turn […]
Day 15 – Cuz This Is Thriller! Thrillers aren’t the genre I go to the most but they are starting to be the ones that I go to to decompress from all of the serious reads I pick up. I chose Blanche Cleans Up (The Blanche White series #3) by Barbara Neely and A Little […]
