The Black Girl Survives in This One
by Desiree S. Evans
All of the female characters throughout these stories are smart and sharp. They are forward-thinking; they have their head on straight. They understand the perils of what’s happening within their existing environment and don’t enter these situations blindly. There is danger; some of these things aren’t possible in the natural sense, but still, they press on. [More]

The Sun Down Motel
by Simone St. James
Another St. James title I truly enjoyed, the Sun Down Motel, has been on my list since I read her last title, “The Book of Cold Cases.” This was a Libby read. It’s about 327 pages, so I got through it as quickly as I could. [More]

 We Lie Here
by Rachel Howzell Hall
This novel is a mystery crime-thriller, which is typical of this author, and I’ve only read one other title in her collection.
The novel centers around the family and the planning of an anniversary dinner. Yara [Ya-Ya for short], our protagonist and the eldest daughter, is planning this event for her parents (but mainly her mother). [More] |

This story starts out simply. It centered around a devoted couple who got married and struggled like most of us do. After their daughter was born, Hal and Margaret wanted a good home where Catherine could grow up and someplace to call their own. [More]

 The Echo Wife
by Sarah Gailey
The Echo Wife was originally an ARC book that I never got a chance to read. Sometimes, there’s not enough time to sit down and read a book, so I’ll opt for an audiobook to listen to that allows me to get through other tasks. [More]

 The Cousins
by Karen McManus
Every year, I add at least 2-4 YA novels to my Good Reads challenge because they are (in a word) entertaining. The Cousins by Karen McManus didn’t disappoint. This was a quick, fun read. Family …you can’t pick em’ …[More]

 Leslie F*ucking Jones
by Leslie Jones
Wow, what to say about this novel? First, I listened to the audiobook because there was no way I just wanted to sit and flip pages. I mean, It’s Leslie F’ucking Jones. (lol) The only drawback is that it’s Leslie F*ucking Jones, so after several chapters, I did get the sense that this audiobook veered away from the actual book. Be warned that this book has STRONG language, so if you’re offended easily, it won’t be something you’ll enjoy... [More]
