I think I understood what the author was saying, but I also understood the concept of your video. Sometimes I think authors need to stay out of the comment sections. You recommended her work to over 2600 subscribers.
You always do a fantastic job, and we all are here to stay, sis! Keep being Elohim's shinning star, in Jesus Christ's name! Have a great week.
Love me some Peta and Didi. When I watch their vids I always have pen and paper ready.
Thank you so much 😊 I'm over here smiling real hard😁
Oh I also enjoy @DesmondZ @ComfyCozyUp and @BrownGirlReading. Oh, dang that author came to let you know she is def known. She got in her feelings too
My girl! J. California Cooper! Please let me know how you like Good Don't Like Ugly
Hair!!!! Ma’am!!!!! ❤ adding some of these to my TBR
What version of Anna Karenina are you listening to?
@@omololaagbe-davies877 the penguin classic edition
"Magic City" by Jewell Parker Rhodes was EXCELLENT!!! I highly recommend that one!!!
I like seeing your wonderful volumes, and you have a great sense of humor, sis! LOL!! I have to buy Tumbling because I have been hearing great reviews about that book. Have a wonderful weekend, sis!
That one book sounded so heavy😭
I read Tumbling in my teens in the early 2000’s and she became an autobuy author for me. They got all types of mess going on in that one. I have read that book over 15 times and it’s always the book I recommend to people. Please read the rest of her catalog, she is amazing! Blues Dancing, Leaving Cecil Street , and Trading Dreams at Midnight are also at the top of my favorite list.
Have we had a black book collection video recently?
I see that you have a few new editions of old publications. Do you know if the contents are the same. With all the talk about banning books, I wondered if changes/omissions were made.
I just started this too
Adding to my list !!!! Yesss 😅 I love when u do videos like these
Have you read the series by Tomi Adeyemi? She came out with the last book in the series this year called Children of Anguish and Anarchy.
@@kaylasimon7388 no I haven’t. I was thinking about added her works to my collection
First of all happy greetings! secondly, Your hair is gorgeous. lastly, I took notes. Well-done, sis! 🤓👏
There was a play, I think it was a Made for TV piece, about a secret meeting between Malcolm X and Dr. King.
The Longman Group, publisher, published a series of African Classics. I have a few but here is one I could put my hand on. "Muriel at Metropolitan" by Miriam Tlali. here are a few more. "Taduno's Song" by Odafe Atogun "To My Children's Children" by Sindiwe Magona "Season of Crimson Blossoms" by Abubakar Adam Ibrahim "Ancestor Stones" by Aminatta Forna "Blond Roots" by Bernardine Evaristo (Nigerian Father, English mother) Also, "The Heinemann Book of African Women's Writing" features 21 author's short stories., and "Unwinding Threads" an anthology of writings by African Women.
I sure love me some African literature! Many of the books you mentioned, I have read, and they do live in my head rent free!😁
👍🏽
His Only wife was sooooo good!! I did this one via audiobook. MAAME is my favorite!! 5 star read for me!
🥰
The whole family passing is WILD 😳😂
I'd very much appreciate your thoughts and commentaries on this as well please youtube.com/@thesolomonchronicles-p2n?si=Z51S8YAbvoplRYXM
Your hair is so cute!! I definitely just added Blessings to my wishlist.
Your hair beautiful stunning gorgeous ❤love it 😊
Wait a minute hair 😍😍😍
Thank you for the recommendations. Since you mentioned loving African Literature, have you read “The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives”? It is a short and sweet read. I did enjoy the audiobook better when I listened to it on audible just because the author narrates the story so well it felt like I was watching a play. By the way your hair looks amazing!
The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives had me gasping and clutching my pearls.
@@MatennehHalimaKanneh no which I need to get. I have only heard great things about it.
I have never heard of this book. I must buy this one! Have a wonderful weekend!
Great pick! This has been on my mental tbr for awhile
I have been hearing so much about The Air He Breathes. I think that will be a book of interest on my upcoming TBR. Have a great week!
The way you feel about The Air He Breathes is the same exact way I felt about her book “The Mixtape” I finished that one in less than 48hrs. It was so good!
The woman was sick! It’s really sad 😔
The sheer amount that you read really pumps me up 🌻
Hi! I hope all is well, and I have to saay it is so distasteful of those who has the right to ban true history. Where are those people who are in the "high society," category? Such as Mr. Perry and Mrs. Opera Winfrey and that's just a drop in the bucket of others who can take a stand against this useless banning. Sis, you came with the "tea" today! LOL!!💯💢🤓
I also have Malcom x have not read it either but I going though 😅❤happy reading 😊
Reading now!
Why is urban fiction always being put in such a small box? UF can definitely be romance.
Please Lex I asked you a question about a book that you were reviewing about the girls that lived in a orphanage but when they were tearing it down they found a body and had all the girls come back to investigate do you remember the title? Thanks in advance ❤
I honestly don’t remember a book with those details. So sorry
Is the author Sally Hepworth? Darling Girls
@@Sherri-uj1oy I have to check hold on
YES THANK YOU SO MUCH
Wow, so many banned books. I also want t read The Hate You Give. And I am also dumbfounded that books are banned due to the negativity of slavery. Duh, it's history. I didn't see people objecting when it was going on. And these same people talking about banning books about race and the same ones that say "I have a black friend"
You are correct on the vol. 2 of Abbott. I ❤ it! Great video! Thank you for sharing… 🙏🏽📚🫡
🤓💞 I have to buy Perfect Peace. Have a wonderful weekend!💕
I am a massive history and book nerd and I love hearing people talk about their book collections and recomendations! This video was really inciteful and has definitely given me ideas on what to read next.
❤
Ernest J. Gaines is one of my favorite writers. He was a great storyteller. Zora Neale Hurston and Margaret Walker are other writers about the South. One of the best contemporary writers from Mississippi is Jesmyn Ward. Her essay on the death of her partner in the September 2020 issue of Vanity Fair was beautiful. The title is Witness and Respair.
Jesmyn Ward is my favorite living author.
I have a question in one of your videos you was talking about four girls who was in a orphanage and they all left but their was a body found and they had the girls to come back PLEASE TELL ME THE NAME OF THE BOOK 😊THANKS IN ADVANCE
Perfect Peace!❤❤❤❤
some definite classics in this video. I recently read Perfect Peace by Daniel Black. So good.
