 Have you been naughty or nice? Santa's checking the list and I am too. Keep watching to find out what book we're talking about today. Hey, this is Kyla Denigno and you're watching Kyla's Reading Day. So I have a special treat for you for the next 12 days. I am participating in Vlogmas. Santa hat, Santa Yoda. I will be putting up a YouTube video every single day to celebrate in Vlogmas. So I decided to do Vlogmas because I have a favorite author. His name is Eric Jerome Dickey and I am obsessed with his writing. I started reading it when I was in college. I kept reading it. I fell in love with the characters. Reminder said in my phone every couple months to check for when he was doing a book review so that I could go in person, meet him, get him to sign some books, all of the stuff. So the first book that we're going to start with is Naughty or Nice. Bam! And this is because for one Naughty or Nice, Santa, Santa's list, like it just makes sense. The author of the book, Eric Jerome Dickey. The genre of the book is fiction. The theme of the book is literature or African American literature. So this is a book about the McBroom sisters. Frankie, Tommy, and Livy love them. Okay, so an important quote to me in the book is when their mother says that marriage is about the end. So the book starts with them talking about marriage is about the end and Tommy is like, what is mama talking about? I never know what she's talking about. Well, spoiler, their mom actually ends up passing away and we find out towards the end of the book that Tommy is not their biological sister. It's Olivia and Frankie and then their mom marries Tommy's dad and then they all get together. But the mom always says marriage is about the end, marriage is about the end. Livy who is married is like, what in the world is mama talking about? Frankie who is divorced is like, I still don't know what mama's talking about. And then Tommy is like, you know, has her own struggles with love but she's like, what is mama talking about? Marriage is about the end. So that quote is important to me because marriage is about the end. The end. Okay. Who do you want to see at the end of the day? Who do you want to talk to at the end of the night? Who do you want to spend the end of the year with? Who do you want to see at the end of your life? Marriage is about the end and I love that. It's a really unique way to discuss marriage. It's a really unique way to discuss relationships and as you read the book, Naughty or Nice, that quote is really important because it means something different to each of the sisters and I'm sure that quote will mean something different to each of the readers. Okay. So would I reread this book again? Yes. The first time I read the book I thought it was really cute. Actually, I started with in the front of books and see where the author wrote it and they written. So I started with Naughty or the nice and they kept making so many references to another book. I was like, wait, there has to be a first one. And so then I read the first one and I own the books and also I have listened to the audiobooks in addition to reading the physical books. So yeah, I would definitely read these books again. The McBroom sisters are really cute. So yep, I sure would. So that's it for today's episode of Vlogmas AirDrum Dickey Edition on Kyla's Reading Day. Again, we will be going through AirDrum Dickey novels for the next 12 days.
