Book Review: An American Marriage by Tayari Jones

July 29, 2018

An American Marriage by Tayari Jones My rating: 5 of 5 stars I can not stand first person fiction books. When I see a book is first person, I put it back on the electronic shelf. Another turn off for me is Oprah recommended books. Shhhh, don’t tell her. I’ve read a few and most […]

February 11, 2017

Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet – The Deluxe Edition by Ta-Nehisi Coates My rating: 5 of 5 stars Growing up, I absolutely loved comic books. I know, it’s a “boy” thing, but oh well. I was and will always be a proud Tom Boy. Why I stopped reading comic books for pleasure is […]
