I love to read and be around books. The best gift you could give me would be a book. The worst thing a person could do is throw away a book...okay, not the best or worst, but darn close!!!

    Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!

    We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc.

    I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same.

    And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!

    Love, Jaya

    Hey Omi,

    What's up?
    I am just checkin up on you. How are things in East Lansing? I know that you are excited about leaving for Brazil. I wish that I could go with you because I really need a break. We just moved into a new house. I love the house but we have a lot of work to do, and tons of furniture that we need to buy. But anyways I thought about you and decided to drop you a line.

    Blessings & Peace

    Hey Omi,
    Don't forget to give me Nadirah's information via e-mail and maybe we can all read The Four Agreements and The Alchemist together when you are finished with finals.

    Peace

    How are you doing?
    I hope that you had a good weekend. I haven't seen you on NP lately. I bought "Eat, Pray, Love," this weekend so I am looking forward to taking time to read it.
    Peace & Blessings

    Hey Monianne,
    How are the Suze Orman books. I managed to catch her special on PBS so I wondered what were your thoughts on her writing about finances?

    Greetings...........

    Thanks for contacting me/I do so enjoy Vanzant's books....and to answer your question about "Christianity before Christ books,"-I am always interested in reading books which spark interesting debates-these two definitely fit into that category because a lot of people do not even want to wrap their heads around the notion that Jesus was a Jew.............
