I love “The Coldest Winter Ever” by Zora Neale Hurston.
the coldest winter ever is by Sister Souljah…
my favorite genre is autobiographies and memoirs!!!
here’s hoping!
The Secrets of Newberry by Victor McGlothin. It is my book club selection. So far so good.
The Sophia Nelson book looks great.
I just finished reading “Water for Elephants”. Since I’m planning for the arrival of a baby, I don’t think that I’ll have too much time to read.
I am one of those people who can pick up a cookbook and read it cover to cover.
Looooovvveeee self help… i might be a tad obsessed with that genre lol
I’m reading the Help right now. A Belle in Brooklyn is on my list too (but 1st… I need to purchase it). You’re my pop culture guru, so I guess I’ll check out the others on your list too.
I’ve been hearing a lot about Belle’s book. I think I’ll be checking that out. She’s supposed to be in New Orleans for the Essence Festival.
I’d love the read “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” by Rebecca Skloot this summer. I’ve heard nothing but rave reviews about it!
I love all types of books. I believe also my fav book are the Omar Tyree Series Flyy Girl, Boss Lady, One of the greatest author is Eric Jerome Dickey.
The winner is Carla!! Congratulations!!
This can’t actually work, I suppose like this.
