i cant speak for all black people but for this black woman this has been an amazing black history month for me we got a new Kennedy Ryan book a Bob Marley movie and its just been good
I have Black Cake, Before I Let Go, and A Love Song for Rickie Wilde on my TBR. I can't wait to read these books. I know that they're going to be so good! There are so many amazing black authors out here, so I want to explore more of what we have to offer. I do have a recommendation, if you are into historical romance, please read Indigo by Beverly Jenkins. She is a renowned black author whose writing is good, powerful and straw you in with her stories and historical experiences behind it. She has so many books to choose from, but everyone has say to start with Indigo. If you are interested in fantasy, then I would suggest a few books such as Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi, The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin and LegendBorn by Tracey Deonn. All of these books have great reviews and are highly recommended. Thank you so much for sharing these recs with us. I love your content on your channel, and can't wait to see and hear what else you are reading.
Hey Joyce! Love the shirt! It's giving what it's giving, and we are here for it!😁On your topic of book recs, I smile because I have a read a few of them. As for the others, I trust your opinion on them and will make sure to add them to my TBR.
Aw, thank you! That’s so sweet! 🫶🏽 I try to share a variety of genres, because I know every book isn’t for every person. Hopefully you enjoy the recs you end up trying.
Hey Friend, Happy Saturday. I enjoyed learning about 12 book recommendations for black history month. I had someone at work post a black history post everyday in the month of February which reminded me of all the incredible black History moments. ❤🥰
As always, great video🤗I have a few of these on my TBR and some others I’ve I read and agree that these are AWESOME recommendations -some of my favorites 🩷I’ll have to check out Memphis soon.
I want to read Black Cake. I am so happy that you separate spicy vs non spicy. I don’t care for spice because it usually is too much. Good recommendations ❤📚
Omg A Love Song for Ricki Wilde had me ugly crying at the end. And then I turned around and gave it 5 🌟 also I’m definitely going to have to try some of these Kennedy Ryan’s
I finished it! It definitely could’ve had a better ending, but overall it was still good. I ended up giving it 4 stars. What were your overall thoughts?
@joycewesley Spoiler Alert! I felt like the story was incomplete … yes she had an ending but it was probably too rushed. The part that made me feel unfulfilled as a reader was when Joanie visited her cousin in prison. I wanted more from their interaction! The abuse was such a big part of the beginning of the story I wanted more! I respectfully gave it 3 ⭐️s.
One of my favorite books by a black author is The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson!! I read it last summer and still think of it every now and then. Highly recommend!
Good morning sis. Maame was so good to me. I agree with you with Excuse Me while I ugly cry and yes it was good. Yes ma'am Joyce Seven days in June as well as Before I let Go...😊. I think that I've come to the conclusion that we like a lot of the same books so if you suggest it I will read it. ❤Have you read The House of Eve by: Sadeqa Johnson? 5 stars sis.
Aw, yay! I love that we have the same reading taste. We were meant to find each other lol. It’s so cool to find people that enjoy reading the same books as you. 😊🫶🏽 So funny story…I’m currently reading Take My Hand but House of Eve is up next.
@@joycewesley I listened to the audio of Take my Hand and yes so good ,but at the same time it made me so upset how they did young African American girls as well as there family's without them knowing what was taking place. I now have the physical copy. Yes definitely meant to 😂. Is so fun finding people that like some of the same tings as you.
Our book club read Memphis. It was a good read but because of the author’s stank attitude toward the club we couldn’t give it 5 stars. As a book club here in Memphis, we try to support all of local authors.
I felt the same way about Long Shot, until…….I read another book & realized basically the whole “abusive” part of that book was ripped off from another book wrote years earlier. My mouth literally fell open while reading The Last Mrs. Parrish. I had to do research…..The Last Mrs. Parrish was published first! For that Kennedy lost a lot of cool points with me.
My sister in law is quick to outsource for any and everything. I used to be like, “Girl, why can’t you do that yourself?” 🤣 But now I get it. I guess that’s why she’s so successful now 👌🏾🤎

Aw, thank you! I appreciate the book recs. Indigo sounds good, I just looked it up. I heard great things about Legendborn as well.

I agree about delegating in Why We Should all be Millionaires. I think if you don't have a certain type of money then simplifying life is key.
Indeed!

Oh I loved Maame❤
I want to read Black Cake. I am so happy that you separate spicy vs non spicy. I don’t care for spice because it usually is too much. Good recommendations ❤📚
Thanks! You’re right.. sometimes these books get way too spicy lol.
Ma'am, a lot of the books are either on my TBR list or I've read them. Great recommendations sis!
Yay, thank you!

Lmbo Ricki Wilde did the same for me. 😂 Before I let go had me crying as well ☺️
Love the shirt Joyce! Gonna read Memphis!
Thank you! I wasn’t the happiest with the ending of that book, but it was still a good read. I landed on a 4star rating.
@@joycewesley thanks for the update.
Good morning ☀️. I can hardly wait to hear what you fully think about Memphis… I was hooked from the beginning but then…. ( I will wait for you 😂)
I finished it! It definitely could’ve had a better ending, but overall it was still good. I ended up giving it 4 stars. What were your overall thoughts?

The audiobook on Audible was perfection.😊
Yay!! I’m actually gonna read this book in March and I’m sooo excited.
Good news because that’s the format I plan to read it 👏🏽👏🏽😃
I'm so glad you plan to read it in March...as an audiobook too!! 👏🏾👍🏾 The narrator from Audibles was soo good!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!

Our book club read Memphis. It was a good read but because of the author’s stank attitude toward the club we couldn’t give it 5 stars. As a book club here in Memphis, we try to support all of local authors.
Omg I can’t believe the author gave you guys an attitude. Wow! I ended up giving it 4 stars.
I felt the same way about Long Shot, until…….I read another book & realized basically the whole “abusive” part of that book was ripped off from another book wrote years earlier. My mouth literally fell open while reading The Last Mrs. Parrish. I had to do research…..The Last Mrs. Parrish was published first! For that Kennedy lost a lot of cool points with me.
Oh wow! I've heard of that book, but I haven't read it. I heard The Housemaid was like one of the Mrs Parrish books.
@@joycewesley yes! I saw some of that in the book also. You should definitely read it
My sister in law is quick to outsource for any and everything. I used to be like, “Girl, why can’t you do that yourself?” 🤣 But now I get it. I guess that’s why she’s so successful now 👌🏾🤎
lol that’s exactly why. Successful people love outsourcing! After reading her book and a different book I completely got it.
