Public Notes

  • DeBerryandGrant

    DeBerryandGrant says

    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...

    Mrs. Harrison to be,
    Though I don't stop by as much as I use to, I want you to know that I'm always thinking of my Shelfari family of readers. I just finished reading Bad Girls Burn Slow by Pam Ward, a good read. It has plenty of twist and turns. I also just read I Stand Accused by Monica Frazier Anderson, a good read. Anyway I wanted to say have a safe and Happy Holiday from me and my family.

    I agree with you. Sometimes the covers and the quick review on the back cover can fool you. I'm asking for reviews also from Shelfari members. I try to post and update as much as I can because I know it definitely helps.
