Popsugar #13 – A book with the same title as a movie or TV show but is unrelated to it

This is a bit of a tough prompt, if you don’t know of something off the top of your head, because it means you have to search books and tv/movies. Searching imdb.com might help but it still means searching a couple of databases to see if things exist. I was originally going to read HeartlessContinue reading “Popsugar #13 – A book with the same title as a movie or TV show but is unrelated to it”

Popsugar #12 – A book that passes the Bechdel test

The Bechdel test is a measure of the representation of women. In a movie or a book are there at least two women featured who talk to each other about something other than a man? Sometimes the requirement that the two women must be named is added. I feel like there are more and moreContinue reading “Popsugar #12 – A book that passes the Bechdel test”

Am I your favorite book blog yet?? If I am, then anything that I recommend could be used! Easy, right?!? Until I started my blogging/content creation adventure, I never realized how many book blogs and vlogs there are out there. I think it’s great! So many people coming together and writing or talking about soContinue reading “Popsugar #10 – A book recommended by your favorite blog, vlog, podcast or online book club”

Dreams from My Father – Book Review

If you had told me eight years ago that I would one day read one of Obama’s books, I would have told you that you were full of shit. I voted for Romney. I voted for McCain four years prior to that. I was proud to be a Republican although I’ve never believed in oneContinue reading “Dreams from My Father – Book Review”

What the Wind Knows – Book Review – No Spoilers

What a beautiful book. So, so beautiful. This book will definitely be in my top 10 books for the year. My mom found this book and suggested it for our in real life book club.

Truth or Beard – Book Review – No Spoilers

This book was not for me. I read it, but I was not impressed. Not even as a guilty pleasure. Truth or Beard by Penny Reid was published July 2015 by Caped Publishing. The copy I read was an ebook copy that I got from my library. I chose it because it fit a ‘cheese’Continue reading “Truth or Beard – Book Review – No Spoilers”

Took a break…

I haven’t posted anything for days. I think five days but honestly, I just don’t know. I just didn’t feel like it. Ever have one of those days… or two… or whatever… when you just feel meh. You don’t really have the motivation to do anything. That was me. Early on in the quarantine/coronavirus pandemic,Continue reading “Took a break…”

Author Spotlight: Octavia E Butler

I’m a bit ashamed to say that prior to last week, I had no clue who Octavia E Butler was. I decided that I’m probably not the only one and I would take a moment, on this… what would have been her 73rd birthday, to highlight who she was. I knew of her name, butContinue reading “Author Spotlight: Octavia E Butler”

When Death Comes Stealing – Book Review – No Spoilers

I found this book while looking for suspense books by Black authors. Suspense or murder mysteries is my favorite genre and I consume those types of books quickly. The tag for my online book group via Goodreads is suspense, so it’s the perfect time to find a new suspense series. When Death Comes Stealing byContinue reading “When Death Comes Stealing – Book Review – No Spoilers”
