Welcome back! I was hoping you had read homegoing! or the queen of Exile? Still sounds like you had a good time with the books you read this summer.
You read some that are on my list so I'm glad to hear your take on them.
You read some good books. I need to get my hand on James.
Thank you! I love your channel!!
@@itsawrapxx you’re welcome and thank you 😊
James was sooo good! It was an empowering story. Mr. Everett out did himself. I was so upset when I reached the last page. We need a sequel! I want to checkout Beautyland. Thanks for the recs.
I haven't read any of his other works, now I'll have to go back and give them a read.
I read this and was so frustrated with the ending 😭 I loved it and got attached to the story and the characters that I couldn’t accept the ending ….
I did not see the ending coming, this book had me going through it!
Our book club is reviewing this book in 2 weeks and this book is not catching me at all
I felt the same way in the first half of the book. You have to let me know if towards the ends your mind changed or not 😂
I’m currently reading and all the characters are upsetting me. Esp the withholding of information.
Thought i missed a video! Just checking hope you see well!
All is good! just a busy month. I have to play catch up 🙈
Denny was cray ok😂😂😂
Devout 1 and 2 was crazy good read. I was so involved. So much craziness. I laughed cussed out. Frustration .😅😅
I can't say that I wasn't entertained 😂. Now I'm reading an Affair in Munthill
Hi there. I'd like to send you my book for a review. It's called Quantum Interface. Please let me know.
TSLOCL is SO good! I'm reading everything Deesha writes 😅
Instant fan! Her next book will be an instant buy lol
You finally read homegoing?! 🤗wasn't it just the most riveting book ever written, when it comes to a slave narrative book? It was done really well as you said. Transcendent is not as captivating as homegoing but her writing and the premise of that particular story is still interesting.😁 I'd recommend you to read transcendent as well. I enjoyed the video as usual.
I haven't disagreed with you yet 😂, I'm going to go ahead and get into Transcendent Kingdoms.
@@itsawrapxx Yay!😁
I've had a physical copy of Homegoing for like a year and I haven't picked it up yet, your review has been motivating!
Please pick up homegoing! you won't regret it!
My bestie and I loved front st . It’s. A series sooooooooo damn good. Lake, Dem, Sav, Wreck & Vant. And I’m not gonna ruin it for you but keep up with the series if you liked this book.
I loved Dear Haiti, Love Alaine. I read it last year and I loved seeing Alaine learn more about her family and the history of Haiti. I hope you enjoy it!
You know Dele weds destiny sounds like my kind of book!☺I am adding "Where sleeping girls lie" to my list. HOMEGOING was my first five-star book. I am excited for you get into it. I will await your thoughts on the book patiently.
I haven’t heard of most of these! Thanks for the suggestions 🌟 hope you enjoy your May tbr
though "triggering" I thought it was refreshing to read about loss from a male point of view with Sam..it was also nice to read a good book that wasn't set in America with typical souther or slave history etc....
I too did not finish black cake lol I watched the show tho so maybe that’s it lol
I think I like the show better 😂
Kennedy Ryan didn’t do it for me either. 😢
I'm not in a rush to pick up this could be us.
Hey! Sounds like you read some great books. Notably Sula, which I have been meaning to read. I need to read at least one book by Toni Morrison. I have black cake on my shelf, and I am no hurry to read it as of yet. Ace of spades sounds interesting. I'll keep it in my long list of books to read. An American marriage was good. I listened to the audio version. I own yellow wife. I hope to get to it soon enough. The heaven and earth grocery store is definitely one I want to get to soon. ☺
Good review, I feel your sentiment as I was so let down with how the book ended too! After all the build with Efia's and Sam's marital challenges. And my family's from Ghana too. But I'm not a fan of books that go back in time so I skipped most of the early early years chapters. The whole book should have a trigger warning actually.
I recommend reading Toni Morrison’s Tar Baby. It’s my favorite of her books. I think you will like it.
Oh perfect! I've been going back and forth on what I should read next from Toni Morrison. Tar Baby it will be!
@@itsawrapxx great! I really hope you like it!
💖. So glad you finally know why we all love Sula even though she was wrong, lol. That was a timeless and classic read. "Ain't that something, a secondhand lonely." Nelle will never recover 🤭.
The Heaven and Earth Grocery store was good. There were lots of plot twists, but it was an interesting read.
I need to read to read Ace of spades people keep saying it’s like YA get out and I love that movie
Excited for you to experience Terry McMillan. Definitely read Waiting to Exhale before the sequel. It's different from the movie and worth the read. Mama Day has been on my list forever. You definitely found some good ones!
I listened to the audiobook and that made the podcast transitions so much smoother than what I imagine reading it must feel like. As for Kenny, I think Wendy helped him and Maddy run away together to Maddy’s mom. At the end of the book, the podcasters grill Wendy about being geolocated at the train station the night Maddy went missing. Then they mentioned that she was the last person checked into the hospital to see Kenny before he went missing. I think she actually did the right thing and helped Maddy live the life she deserved
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️📚📚📚📚📖📖📖📖📝📝📝📝📝
I agree with everything you said about "Ricki Wilde". I took me some time to get through the first half of the book and then i finished the second half in two days, so yeah it takes some time for it to pick up. Slight spoiler?: but i feel like she is setting up something for a story about Tuesday based on the epilogue, which I would definitely read. Great review!
I can totally see Tuesday getting her own story! She was giving main character energy.
Did you like the 2nd book shown?
It was a ok read, I have a full review on my channel also.
Gotta Keep on Tryin is a sequel to Tryin to Sleep in the Bed You Made .
I didn't even know there was a sequel! Now I have to read Trying to Sleep in the Bed you Made first.
I read Linden Hills last year and really enjoyed it. Perfect book to read around Christmas time. 🤗
Ooo ok, I'll hold off on reading it until I'm off for the holidays then. I'm not too familiar with Gloria Naylor outside of The Women From Brewster Place.
🧡🧡
Some very interesting books for sure. I have Chinua Achebe in my Amazon cart. 😊 I shall await your thoughts on the rest before I invest in them😊.
I was had it sitting in my Amazon cart for a while too 😂
I definitely want to read Missing White Woman. I liked Hollywood Homicide by the author.
I'll have to get my hands on Hollywood Homicide 🤔
You got The BluePrint, you are not small !!
You are so right, and a much more positive way of looking at it!
I haven’t heard of most of these! Thanks for sharing 🌟 also your glasses are super cute!! They fit your face so well
Thank you!!
An American Marriage is good, I read it a couple of years ago and really liked it and recommended it to a friend. I have only read one Toni Morrison book and I do not like her writing style (The book I read was Song of Solomon). I just can't read her books. I read Yellow Wife this month and it is harsh, make sure you have something light to read after you read Yellow Wife because you are going to need something light and fluffy after you finish that book.
I thought it was Beloved I had read, but it was Song of Solomon. I didn't care for it when I read it either, but it was a mandatory reading in high school so I might give it another try.
🧡🧡
Love this TBR. I'm also hoping to get to The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store soon and look forward to hearing your thoughts. Now Sula....that's one of my all-time favorite books and Sula is my girlll lol. Even though she's questionable. Can't wait to see how you walking away feeling after.
Omg I finished Sula and I've been thinking about it since I put it down. I'm officially in the Toni Morrison is that girl club lol
She's the leader🙌. @@itsawrapxx
💜💜
I have “A Love Song for Ricky Wilde” on my TBR for this Month.
Multipassionate creator here! This video was suggested in my news feed. Subscribing now! - Gotta get into these this year! Thank you for sharing these
I am currently reading The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store. Enjoying it.
Just started it yesterday, I am so curious where it's going to go.
This Could Be Us is so good. I liked it more than BILG. Definitely waiting for Missing White Woman.
I was going to wait and get it from my library, but now I'm kind of wishing I'd read an arc because I've heard a few people say they like it more than BILG.
girlllll I read An American Marriage last month. I liked it and rated it 4/5 but all the characters were trifling lmaoo
😂 I'm sure I will be in my feelings on this in my feb wrap-up
This is my first time seeing your channel. So far I’m loving it. Lol about you feel like someone will love “Somebody That I Used to Know”… I’m that somebody! 😂 I was swooning! But I do get what you are saying, I think some of the dialogue and the way they related just didn’t resonate with me at times. But I’m Gen X so….maybe I just didn’t get it. Congrats on your growing channel!
Thank you! 😂 I had to give the caveat though because sometimes I think I sound like I disliked the book more then I actually did!
Thank you! I too did not love “Before I let go” it just did not go it for me
😂 Your are seen, because sometimes it feels like i'm the only one.
