Not my typical style of book, but nonetheless a great read. Gives you an appreciation for things that we cannot possess. Remain wholesome and you’ll be rewarded in life.

Sonnys Blues by James Baldwin is a powerful exploration of pain, family, and redemption. Through the lens of jazz and brotherhood, Baldwin captures the struggle of Black identity, emotional repression, and the healing power of understanding and expression.

Cheesy but cute! Very relevant because of the popularity of wordle these days.

Witches, vampires, pirates, OH MY! This is the first book in a fantasy romance series. We're in a magical world where everyone has powers, but this book lacks description, and the characters aren't too likeable. It's a bit of a spicy book, with adventure that takes place in a world with portals. So much potential! I don't think I'll continue to read the rest of the series though.

Chainsaw Man Volume 11 throws everything into overdrive with intense despair, hope, and a jaw dropping reveals. Denji confronts Makima, wrestles with power and purpose, and Pandemonium reigns. Ending with a brutal, emotional climax that reshapes everything.

DNF - I couldn’t get past the vulgarity or child abuse. This is not my cup of tea. I’m sure that the storyline is decent, but I do not wish to proceed.

This is a quick, enjoyable read. Lol at times! It has relatable characters. A great beach read!

5 stars The biography of Tupac was an experience. Growing up I listened to Tupac and other old school rappers, but I never really knew much of their in depth life. I loved reading this to get a better insight on how Tupac’s family and friends viewed him: and outspoke young Black man who was a wonderful artist. He cared so much for my community and always wanted the best for it; especially coming from a family of Panthers. After reading this, I need to read Assata and Afeni’s autobiography: I feel like the experience would be even greater to view from a much closer relatives lenses.

A steamy romance and revenge all rolled into one, this sotry has it all. You really get to know the characters and the world they live in. A major twist at the end leaves you grasping formore. Can't wait for the sequel.

Intense drama for a teen boy who is introvert. Kept me engaged and enthusiastic to keep reading and finding out what happens next. I can’t wait to see if I finish the saga.
