 Hey, what's going on y'all? Listen, your girl got some books for you. I have I just went to the store I think I went to Barnes & Noble and half price bookstore and I have just been grabbing books I'm like, oh, I think I'm gonna read that I want to read that I have to commute into my office now Two to three times a week and so I'm on the train and when I'm on the train I like to like kind of decompress and read versus like checking email Not everything the whole time because again, I gotta do all that when I get into work So it's kind of like my time to relax and so I want to talk about some books that I have on deck that I'm going to read Now this one this author It's gonna take me back. If you're if like if you know I'm like, I think it was in the 90s late 90s early 2000s Like it was all about a lot of us a certain black authors that was just like booming and Kimberla Lawson Robie was one of those authors and I have not read one of her books in forever So this one is sister friends forever Now so again I love reading books by black authors or just authors of color in general because I feel like I learn more about other cultures and I saw see myself reflected and These days just like when I walk around I want to see myself I don't want to always read about somebody else or somebody else's situation I want to have some type of reflection or just learn at least learn something about other cultures So I have not been really what this is about But sister friends forever. I'm like, okay. I have a feeling is giving me Living single slash girlfriends Maybe a henna sex in the city. I don't know but I'm like, you know Reading the back of it says Serena Michelle Kenyon when that have been best friends since they were small children And that sister friends forever They have always been there for another through good times and bad no matter what if you have one friend If you have two you and I both know there's always some drama associated with friendship because we're humans and you know We don't always get along and stuff So I imagine that with everything going on in their families That's gonna be some crucial like turning points for each woman. I'm looking forward to it. It should be a good read I'll let you know what I think of it My second book by a woman of color is by Christina Forrest and it's called the neighbor favor And I am pretty sure this is like your rom-com type of book And again, I don't I'm very weary of reading rom-com type books or romantic books Just because again, that's not where I'm at in my life And I want to make sure that I'm putting in the right things and not making I don't know. I want to be just around here feeding myself the wrong stuff I think she's a bookworm who he meets his author Like that kind of stuff I can I can get with I'm gonna let y'all know because also I do want to make sure that there aren't like unnecessary sex scenes and stuff again Your girl loves Jesus and ain't having sex until I get married. So Yeah, I don't want to read about it. So I will let you know if there's any of that going on But I think it's gonna be kind of like just cute and kind of hokey. Give me a little bit like hallmark Movie type vibe but with black folks. So I don't know we gonna see I will come back and let you know Now I got a few more here. Both of these are by an author. I absolutely love Jojo Moyas, I don't know if that's how you pronounce her last name I actually don't know. This is her new newest one someone else's shoes Because it's still in I don't think I can even get it in us Oh, not not hardcover. What's the other one paperback paperback. Yeah, I have to think about it Again, yeah, I don't really even know what these books are about I just know their authors that I like and I'm like I've normally really enjoyed their books and now one plus one This is probably somewhere romantic Here you keep saying that you don't read those kind of books, but yet you have those kind of books. Yes We're gonna see We're gonna see what it's about again. I am a fan of this author She normally the stories move pretty well. I Don't know. I'm just gonna come back and tell y'all if it's right or not All right, and then the last two Kristen Higgins a little Ray of sunshine. I really enjoy her like she is It's like most of her books are set somewhere on the east coast on the beach or something like that Like these are like the good beach trees at least this one is this is her newest one copyright 2023 I'm actually have several of her books that I've read and I really just normally enjoy her like she does it Nothing's too run. She is a good story moves. Well So we're gonna see like I'm sure there's some type of like I Won't say romance, but there's probably some type of like, you know Friendship, but it's like Elvis. That's like a happy ending. I don't know y'all like I just in the mood to read like soft stuff I don't read her stuff even though this one this one might be a little harder It's called I wish you were here and it's basically I think this is about a woman who gets caught up in the COVID I was about to say the corona I laugh about that now. But as we all know COVID wasn't some laugh at for a lot of people But yeah, I kind of Jony Pico like she's a winner. I mean, I don't know if I've ever picked up a book of hers that didn't like Listen and a lot of her books. I don't know. They're just so much to read So yeah, yeah, I'm gonna be out here in these streets reading You know, we got less bit of summer here in the Bay Area We're gonna October is normally pretty warm for us and then it starts to die down But I'm like, I'm gonna be somewhere posted up in the chair reading and minding my business. That's the plan You know your girl schedule gets a little busy sometimes But if I'm not on Bart reading, I will be somewhere trying to read at nighttime do better about my like think time routine But we'll see I'll let you know how they work out. So I'll be back with some book reviews. See you next time
