I have always said the greatest skill my Mom ever gave me was the ability to read. And now she lectures me on going to the bookstore too often. I have always loved to read and fancy myself setting up my own personal library.

    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...

    I was touched by what you said about the greatest skill your mother gave you being your ability to read. I heard y 6 year old reading aloud to himself a few days ago, and thought to myself, that's the best gift I have ever given him.

    mslee76, glad you accepted my invite. I'm still trying to figure out my way around Shelfari. I'm thinking of creating a group for the new book so we can talk about it and where I can announce related contests. I have two contests in mind right now that I think you're going to like. I'll keep you posted.

    Hi lee , I just wanted to stop in and leave my love on your page. So how are things going for you? I hope all is well. Okay so what have you been reading?

    Right now I'm reading “Protect and Serve” by Gwyneth Bolton and it’s very good. You should check it out. I can’t wait for the next book to come in the series called the “Hightower Honor”.

    Well I’m full of joy. I just found out last week that I’m having a baby. :--) I’m 3 weeks now. Ya! All Thanks Are Giving 2 God!

    P.S. Happy Reading
