My 💭: If you’re a Black horror fan read this book.If you’re Black read this book.If you’re a horror fan read this book. “Blackness isn’t monolithic, after all, and everyone deserves to have their stories told.” All of this!! This book really broke down the stereotypical roles Black actors receive in […]
Review This book is heavy but we need books like this and I’m so happy I was given the chance to read. I was a child when the riots in LA happened and had no clue about Latasha Harlins until I read this book now. She was killed over orange juice. 🤬 This book also tackles colorism in the Black […]
Review: “To be a woman is to be a sacrifice.” Immanuelle is considered an outcast because she is biracial and even though she lives with her White family members, she still had to keep her head down, her nose clean and work twice as hard to prove her self worth. *Sighs*⠀ ⠀ I must say Immanuelle has become one of […]
Review Sophia was strong willed and assertive. I loved that she didn’t want to get in line, know her place and live her life serving a man or anyone. The story touched on a lot of topics especially the treatment of young girls and women. The author created a world that was very detailed and I could see everything playing […]
Review This book had a very strong start and I couldn’t put the book down but it did stall in the middle. I’m happy I pushed through because the book got really good and the twist took me by surprise. The WHOLE book I was thinking one thing and then the author went and pulled the rug from under my […]
Review Max and Quinn had a summer fling as teenagers. Fast forward several years later and they are forced to work together and neither one of them are pleased. The back and forth banter between the two of them was everything. The shade and snarky comments gave me life. You could also cut the tension with a knife and […]
Review Saving Ruby King is a very thought provoking own voices novel. As a black woman living in America, I found myself stopping to highlight and reflect numerous time while reading this story. There are several characters in this story and they all have their own points of view. It was a little tricky at first but I eventually found […]
Review I loved the strong female friendships in this book and how it’s important to have a tribe of women that have your back. Samiah works at a Tech company and this story touches on the challenges she faces as being the only Black woman in her position and the pressure that comes with in that role. Like the old […]
Review I’m not really a fan of memoirs but I was sent a copy of this book by Celadon Books and I decided to check it out based on the blurb. The author was in a cult called Synanon. I never heard of that cult before so I looked it up and talk about intense. The the story starts off […]
Review This was a well written book about family secrets and how it affects each person differently. How the family deals with the aftermath of the secrets being revealed and their attempt to move forward. We have Camino and Yahaira who are sisters and only find out about each other after the passing of their father. These two girls couldn’t […]
