What are you reading? Part 2
 

Just got through with "Soul Mates Dissipate" by Mary B. Morrison. VERY GOOD!!!
I'm now reading "It's a Thin Line" by Kimberla Lawson Roby, she's good as well.
Anyone belong to Black Expressions?

Hi Soror!

I'm a member of black expressions. I just recently purchased It's A Thin Line and another of Mrs. Roby's book(The name escapes me now) through Black Expressions. How do you like the BE club? My only complaint is that they do not always carry the older books of some authors. I'm currently reading two books, Joy by Victoria Christopher Murray and Redemption Song by Bertice Berry.

I love reading
 

Finished Sisters of Kappa Theta Phi(SP). It was better then I thought. Also just read Patti's Pearl's by Patti Labelle, not very good. Now I'm reading Where The Heart Is.

I'm reading Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe. It's a good book so far....no not for pleasure.....I have a book report due in a week.

:p

I am reading JUST SAY NO by Omar Tyree. One of my students wanted me to read it. It is not bad so far.

Re: I love reading
 

I didn't like Sisters of Theta Phi Kappa. I thought it would have something to do with the sorority but that seemed to be way in the background. I kinda feel like she used the sorority part to get us to buy it. :confused:

Re: Re: I love reading
 

I felt the exact same way when I read it. It could have been called 1001 other things because it had more to do with women than with the sorority. Plus some of her terminology was off and that "call" was so :eek: :eek: :eek: -- glad to see I was not the only one.

I am just started reading the sisters of Theta Phi Kappa by Kayla Perrin, and when I'm finished, I'm going to read Hot Johnny :D :D

I read Addicted by Zane and I didn't think it was that great.

i'm reading Cheaters by Eric Jerome Dickey
all of his books that i've read so far are really good.

I've been writing a black romance novel of my own
haven't figured a title for it yet. I may title it Candy.
Look out for it in the future. :)

What I'm reading
 

[SIZE=3][FONT=times new roman][COLOR=orange]I'm reading The Brethren by John Grisham...so far, so good

This summer I've also read:

• Drop by Mat Johnson
• What You Owe Me by BeBe Moore Campbell
• Rhythms by Donna Hill

Drop was/is kinda hard to get into...What you Owe Me is fairly good and Rhythms was good, but the ending could have been better...;)[/SIZE=3][/FONT=times new roman][/COLOR=orange]

Married Men
 

While vacationing in Jamaica, I read Married Men by Carl Weber. I thought it was predictable, but good. Especially, since I could relate to the sistas in the book. If anyone else has read it. Let me know your thoughts. It was definitely an easy read.

My girlfriend and I got into a debate on a couple issues brought out by the book.

Another good read was Near Perfect. I can't recall the author, but I thought it was excellent.

I finished reading "Growing Up X" by Ilyassah Shabazz which was very good and now I'm reading "Stolen LegacY" by George James.

hey all..

I'm currently reading The Street, by Ann Petry

Falling Leaves by Adeline Yen Mai
 

I just started
"Ain't Nobody's Business If I Do "

by Valerie Wilson Wesley

I just finished "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted" By E. Lynn Harris ad "P.G. County" by Connie Briscoe.

I'm about to start "God Chasers" by Tommy Tenney.

I too am reading a book for class and it is BORING .:mad: . I am reading "The Grapes of Wrath," which is about the Great Depression. Before that I had gotten a good start into "The Coldest Winter Ever..." I MUST finish that book :eek: .

Non-fiction
 

I am currently reading The Tools of Screenwriting by David Howard and Edward Mabley.
It is very interesting.

I am reading the new book from Wendy Williams, "Wendy's got the heat". Its a pretty good read so far.

I just finished reading Zenzele, A letter for my daughter by J. Nozipo Haraire and I'm in the middle of reading the 20th Wife by Indu Sundaresan. Both are excellent books

I just read CoverGirls by T.D Jakes. It was a good read and very inspiring.

I am currently reading my first "Eric Jerome Dickey" book. Friends and Lovers. So far, it's pretty good. I just finished E Lynn Harris' biography. I liked that too.

Just started reading
The Tenth Insight- Holding the Vision follow-up to Celestine Prophecy

What did you think of that book? I just picked up his other one, Authentically Black,-- Essays for the Silent Majority

I started Authentically Black..it was pretty good.

I read it. I think that the author (McWhorter) had good points. However, There really was no basis to it beside his observations. I did want to read Authentically Black because it is a group of essays instead of a book regarding academics.

Does anyone know of any good Christian Fiction? I've ordered a few books from Black Expressions.

Be blessed.

I'm finally reading "Shifting: The Double Lives of Black Women in America". It's a great read.

I plan to write down some of the stories in my head, so I wanted to expand my horizons a bit and look into a different area with different POVs. I'm reading "4 Blondes" by Candace Bushnell, author of "Sex and the City". I couldn't find the latter, but "4B" is interesting, especially with four short stories involving women caught up in NYC society, materialism, etc. It taught me that I don't want my works to involve all of that.

I am actually reading a few books right now...
 

Love- by Toni Morrison
Black Titan- by Carol Jenkins & Elizabeth Gardner Hines
and very leisurely- "101 Remarkable Black Women from Queen of Sheba to Queen Latifah" by Annette Madden---good book for highschool teachers to share with their students.

I just picked up The Other Woman by Eric Jerome Dickey and Finding Fish Antwone Fisher's memoirs.

'Joy' and 'Temptation' are really good by Victoria Christopher Murray. I know she has a new one out.

I liked Finding Fish. Haven't seen the movie though.

It is very slow....but it was ok. Let me know when you finish, so we can discuss the ending.
