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 […]
The Unkind Hours is the latest exciting thriller from Dwayne Alexander Smith, the author of terribly underrated Forty Acres. (You need to read Forty Acres if you haven’t already!) We meet an ex-baseball player Steven who’s married to Nichole. They are happily married and have a little girl named Luna who is four years old. […]
#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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
I read this one a few years ago when it came out. Very interesting story that is written with a lot of creativity. This was my first book by James McBride and it certainly won’t be my last. I think I might even think about rereading this one. “Henry Shackleford is a slave boy […]
Book to movie adaptations never seem to be quite right. In spite of the great idea to adapt the book because the story is good, it seems as if all the good points about the book get literally lost in cinematography translation. I know you’re probably thinking, you can’t expect the same thing from a […]
Hello All! I’m back and ready to write. I took a very significant break from this blog and from my YouTube channel. Needless to say, it was a lot. I was everywhere and nowhere and that wasn’t what I wanted. Having taken the time to reflect and to make some changes to […]
