I like books and I love to read...but lately? Not so much. Lately, I've been writing, A LOT.

This is not 'me' in the photo, rather a Michael Vartan (actor) drinking from something or eating something, I can't tell; looks like a bottle or a lab rat. Thanks! more »

    The Still Small Voice! Listen to it...
    And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
    ...and come out of that cave!

    Sorry I’ve been away so long. I’ve been entirely toooooo busy.

    Anywhooo, in your Black Romance group, we’ll be reading Protect and Serve by Gwyneth Bolton next and start discussing it on 10 Oct. Now go ahead and purchase Gwen’s book now, even if you plan on reading it late, because it is a Harlequin book and you know they can be difficult to find.

    Have you heard about all the fun we had at the 2008 Romance Slam Jam? Well that’s NOTHING compared to what’s coming in 2010.

    It’s Romance Slam Jam’s Crystal Anniversary! Our theme is Back to the Future with Rochelle Alers as our keynote speaker! Everyone is Welcome To Join the Romance Slam Jam Crystal Anniversary Celebration Cruise departing from Miami, Florida, Sunday April 10th, 2010. We will be embarking on the five day Carnival Cruise to Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands on the “Destiny” Fun Ship.

    For full details go to: http://www.romanceslamjam.org/conference/Newsletter/Articles/RSJCruise2010.htm

    Spread the word
    Peace

    hi moderngrammer
    thanks for adding me as a friend. I really love the books on your bookshelves.
    Quick question though, I see you have read L.A Banks book, Minion and I was wondering would you recommend this book?

    Would you read about real world novel. Women of a tribal society shattered by war of world powers for 3 decades. Read how these courages women are fighting for their rights. Read about tribal society of central asia where troops of United States are operating in tough terrain. 'Afghanistan: A Volatile Country', is a book to inform those who are directly and indirectly affected by not only the current events in this at-war country, but by its affects on Pakistan. Emphasizes Afghan relations with both neighboring Pakistan and the United States. This book delves into the forty years of relative peace and prosperity Afghanistan experienced before falling into the shadow of civil war and emerging into the era of the Taliban.
    omer vikas, author.
    you can also use search inside option to read few pages online for free of this book from www.amazon.com

    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

    Thanx 4 the add. I don't see "The Hunger" on your shelf. If you like vampire genre then you should love that one.
