I have read a lot of great books that I don't own. I own all the books on my shelves here, many I have not read yet. I still go to library and borrow books. I love libraries especially the old ones, they have so much charm and history!

    Hello TrueEssence,

    Thanks for stopping by my page -- wow it's encouraging to see that some actually read my book reviews - LOL! I'm glad you enjoy them -- it's encouraging to get feedback from peers every now and then. :-) If you like satire, I think you'll like Blonde Roots...when you read it, holla back and let me know your thoughts. I'm curious to know what you think about it.

    P.S. We are all beautiful women -- I love your avatar too!

    Peace Tru,

    I will keep you posted on Meridian by Alice Walker. I am at the very beginning of the book. I am getting to know the character Meridian and enjoying the book so far! I look forward to hearing your feedback on Sula for the book discussion.

    Bless Up!

    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

    Hi -
    Sorry I have taken so long to respond. I hope you and your family are well. Right now I want to be someplace warm as I have not yet adjusted to this winter weather.
    I am trying to finish up some books so that I can make my goal of reading 100 books in 2007.
    Take care

    Hi -

    Yes, I am on Shelfari. I have joined a couple of groups and so I visit some groups more than others.

    I saw that you have "Daughters of the Dust" on your shelf. One of my favorite books and movies.

    Talk to you soon

    Tru,

    I've heard great things about Half of a Yellow Sun, but I have not read it. Raising Fences...now that sounds like an interesting read...is it?

    Be well...and be encouraged!

    Tru.

    I am so incredibly embarrassed to admit that I am still reading The Warrior Method, Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery, Miseducation of the Negro and a few others.

    These days with homeschooling....it gets a little bit more challenging to read MY books, because I have been so engrossed in reading my son's books.

    So...What are you reading?

    Make it a good one...and most assuredly we will connect elsewhere.
