Love Child
Love Child
By: D.D. Hairston
ISBN:
Genre: Fiction (African American)
**DNF**: #LoveChild by #DDHairston .
I hate to give up on a book, but I just could not finish this. The story just drags on and there are too many storylines with absolutely no idea where anything is heading. I was about a quarter of the way in before I just had to throw in the towel. 🤷🏾♀️
If You Leave Me
If You Leave Me
By: Crystal Hana Kim
ISBN: 006264517X
Genre: Fiction (Historical Fiction)
Felt all kinds of emotions while reading this and even more when it ended. This on definitely tugs at your heart strings.
The Witching Hour
The Witching Hour
By: Anne Rice
ISBN: 0091471426
Genre: Fiction (Paranormal)
What a story! I mean who doesn’t like a quirky version of “Roots” filled with witches and demons and murder and incest?! This was like “All My Children”....Anne Rice style. I was very entertained up until the last quarter of the book and at that point I just felt like the author had jumped from one extreme to the next with all the “spirit sexing”. This is the first book in a trilogy...I don’t know that I will be picking up the others. This honestly could have been a stand-alone. I might hop over to Wikipedia and check out the plot summaries for the other books in this series.
Target in the Sun
Target in the Sun

Published: March 18, 2018 by Amazon Digital Service
ASIN: B01B5EA02C
Genre: Fiction (Mystery/Thriller)
Beautiful Cover! This started off slow for me, but it definitely picked about 1/3 through. I couldn’t connect with any of the characters, but my heart does go out for Carlos and all he had to see and experience. I don’t think I’ve ever read a romantic thriller, but I love this concept.

Beautiful Cover! Interesting premise. Mediocre story. 😔
A Very Large Expanse of Sea
A Very Large Expanse of Sea
By: Tahereh Mafi
Published: October 16, 2018 by HarperTeen
ISBN: 0062866567
Genre: Fiction(YA Romance)
Good, but not great. The story flowed nicely, but seemed unrealistic (in some parts) and overall superficial. The author scratches the surface of a lot of real issues but never goes in depth.
A 16 year old breaking dancing Persian girl falls in love with the 17 year old White star basketball player. The entire school (and his mother) is against this relationship because she is a bad influence(she’s a Muslim) and he needs to focus on winning a championship game.
Craved
Craved: A Novella Series
By: Tabitha Sharpe
Published: November 6, 2018 by Sharpe Pen
ASIN: B07K8KCM7N
Genre: Fiction(Black Romance)
Beautifully written love story about a girl who knows what she wants, but is in love with a guy that won’t deliver. This story is emotional and real. Nicely done.
The Road to Dawn
The Road to Dawn: Josiah Henson and the Story That Sparked the Civil War
By: Jared A. Brock
Published: May 15, 2018 by PublicAffairs
ISBN: 1541773926
Genre: Nonfiction (Biography)
Josiah Henson is said to have been the inspiration for Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin. And while Uncle Tom has gotten a bad reputation over the years from those who have never read the story or grossly misconstrued it, he was in fact a national hero.
This was a very interesting and informative book. Great research. The author did a wonderful job.
Fortunate
Fortunate: Orphan Series Book 1
By: Dandridge Monroe
Published: December 21, 2018 by KMM Presents
ASIN: B07MMZKNFM
Genre: Fiction (AA Romance)
What girl doesn’t love a Princess Tiana love story?! I’m now looking for a Nick!! Overall, this is a well written story with lots of laughs and feel good moments. The storyline and characters where very relatable and realistic. There are some parts of the story that left me with unanswered questions, but seeing that this is part of a series I’m sure those questions will get answered. This was a really nice debut and I look forward to reading more from the author.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Published: July 8, 2000 by Scholastic
ISBN: 0439139600
Genre: Fantasy
WHY IN THE HELL IS SNAPE STILL AT HOGSWARTS??? This installment is soooo dark, but it is the best one yet (I have 3 more to go). I love how Rowling has her characters aging at a very realistic pace! The teenage hormones are kicking in full force!! READ THIS SERIES!!!
Hood Riches
Hood Riches: When Vengeance is Served
By: LaToya McCray
Published: December 14, 2018 by Platinum Presents
ASIN: B07LDDLMKM
Genre: Urban Fiction (Street Lit)
Boy….I never, ever like to negatively criticize a writer about their work, but this should have never gotten released. I feel like the publishing company really failed the author on this one. The grammatical errors almost makes this unreadable, the storyline isn’t cohesive, there is no plot, and it just feels thrown together. The author has good ideas for a story, but she needs better help making it presentable for her readers.

This was a very enlightening read. Very detailed and full of information. I always enjoy an unbiased approach to the true history of Africa’s Egypt.

1. I’m loving this series. I love how the mood changes as the kids get older and things get more intense. I also love the love and community that Harry has surrounding him.

By: Rudolph R. Windsor
Published: January 1, 1969 by Exposition-Phoenix Press
ISBN: 0682499110
Genre: Nonfiction (World History)
1. Say what now?!! This was a lot to digest. It read like a college textbook and skipped around all over the place. It was kinda hard to keep up.
2. Yes, Black people have been around forever. Yes, life started in Africa. So, technically, Yes....everyone is African.
3. Interesting concepts though, more research on my part is definitely needed.

The Last King of Scotland
The Last King of Scotland
By: Giles Foden
Published: October 26th 1999 by Vintage
ISBN: 0375703314
Genre: Historical Fiction
1. Idi Amin was something serious.
2. This book kinda took him for a joke, but then again...maybe it didn’t. Maybe Amin was this outgoing, friendly dictator.
3. Dr. Garrigan was boring and his story was boring. Amin was the best part of this book.
4. I need to learn more about Idi Amin. 🤔
