I am a lover of books and I have been as long as I can remember. Like a lot of other readers my taste in books have changed over the years and will depend on my mood.

I will read just about any genre as long as it is well written.

Several years ago, I turned my dining room into a library as the books were running out of spaces... more »

    Hey, Bev...just finished I Can Make You Love Me...an ENJOYABLE read...Adam was quite mature for his age...he knew what he wanted...and didn't let his family, friends or co-workers stand in his way of going after Wynn...the only time his immaturity showed was when he give Wynn the silent treatment after their trip to Cozumel...and he sort of threw a tantrum 'cause he couldn't have his way...and when he got busted flirting with that annoying chick, Vivian...it was also nice to catch up with Brennan and Krista Thomas from The Way You Aren't...a pleasant mixture of SPICY romance, plenty drama and a bit of suspense...Helen with her nosy self was too FUNNY...but she was a GREAT friend to Wynn...and that Jim had some nerve talking about getting back together...MUST of LOST his DANG mind ;-)

    In a moment of pique and frustration Virginia wrote an open letter to Oprah, and shared it with a few writer friends who are going through the same thing we are. Now the letter has started to go viral--getting a lot of repostings and inclusions in blogs, newsletters and on Facebook, so in case you hadn't seen it, we wanted to share our plight, the plight of many black authors with you, readers who have supported us all these years. http://twomindsfull.blogspot.com.

    In reality Oprah is just a metaphor--a name that might get this subject the attention it deserves. Because when you have a publication like Library Journal listing their 31 Best Books of 2009 http://ow.ly/HDU7 and the "genre" fiction list includes Street Lit --8 books but no category for contemporary African American writers, we are really in trouble.

    We are trying to encourage diversity in reading--we believe books should be windows, not just mirrors...

    Hey, girl...thanks for accepting my friendship...and I feel you girl...it gets harder to indulge in my favorite past time during the school year...with all my daughters extracurricular activities I'm lucky to find a moment...once I start a book it's taking me longer and longer to finish it with the constant interruptions...LOL...but like you said this too shall past...take care :-)

    Hey, all is well. I just finished the last chapter of my next novel and now I'm about to sit back and re-read Brother's and Sister's by BeBe Campbell. There are just some books that you have to revisit every now and then.

    If you and Phyllis recommend a book, I'll have to read it, so The Book of Night Women" is going on the plan to read list post haste. (Hope I'm using that phrase correctly.)
