I was looking through my Instagram feed the other day and marveling over all of the new Bookstagram accounts popping up. It’s great to see that people are getting the reading bug and that they want to share what they’re reading with others. Openly sharing one’s reading journey is not always an easy thing 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 […]

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 […]
