Great new book!!
 

Hey all..Just had to let you know about a book that's out...the name of the book is: The Broke Diaries, the author is Angela Nissel..and you have all GOT to get it!!

toodles!!

What made the book good? What's it about? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Finer Womanhood: the "Cat's Meow" Since 1920

Shelacious,

The book is actually a diary that Angela kept while in college..its all about her days as a bcs (broke college student)..the things she did to get by..ya know get food, books etc. It kept me laughing out loud..being that we are all students (or have been students for those lucky enough to have graduated) I know it will be appreciated..

hoping flor blue,

Another good book is Sorority Sisters by TJ Butler.

Yes, Sorority Sisters is a great book! i'm not a member of a BGLO, so it was very informative.

------------------

Another book that is wonderful..actually I rank it right up there with The Miseducation of the Negro (which I know we all have a cherished copy of) is The Debt: What America owes to Blacks by Randall Robinson. If you have not already done so..BUY IT..READ IT..LIVE IT..DO IT!!

For some reason I was very upset with Sorority Sisters. It was written so blan, and I guess since you knew what organizations each person was...kind of made it fit into the stereotype of the "pinkroom."

I, too, was disappointed with Sorority Sisters. The characters were not very well developed, and the plot was just...shallow. *shrug* I suppose it could bring back a few memories for some sorority members, but since I am not, the book just fell flat for me.

I thought it was interesting. I liked how there were several different stories in one. I agree that it could have been better developed but it wasn't that bad. That is only the second book I've read about sororities. The other one was Sister Secrets and that was really BAD.

I've actually met the author of Sorority Sisters. She is a wonderful person. She actually told a group of us that this was her first writing effort and that she wasn't really "ready" when she wrote the book. I think she is very talented and that her writing will just get better with time. She also has a book of poetry published...unfortunately, the name of it escapes me right now.

leafed through it...HATED IT!
And no I would not spend my money on such.

Question,

Can anybody recommend another book by Sista Souljah? I know many of you have read The Coldest Winter Ever and I am wondering if her previous or follow-up books are just as interesting. Thanks!

Her first book was No Disrespect, a quasi-autobiographical book. It is truly eye-opening!

I just got finished reading Between Lovers by Eric Jerome Dickey...I didn't care for it too much. I think as his books go on, he adds more and more flesh in them...and it's starting to read more like soft porn. Right now, I am currently reading E. Lynn Harris's new book, Any Way The Wind Blows, I have a lil bit more to go b4 I can give an opinion, but I know one thing, I have had about enough of the gay theme...both books have left me not wanting to read another sentence about someone being gay...too graphic http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

hi soror!

Please respond back to let me know how E lynn's new book is when you finished. I'm currently reading Temptation by Victoria Murray, and I plan to start E Lynn's new book
next. If you haven't read Temptation, I recommend it. It is a great read! A wonderful Christian fiction novel. BTW,k does anyone know of any other good Christian fiction books?

It was great! But u have to the read the one b4 it...I read it all in two sittings...one in the salon...half the book...and once this weekend while under the dryer. It was a no brainer book...but I liked how he tied up loose ends.

I know I am probably putting myself out there, but I have to talk about the Harry Potter books! I know they are supposed to be for kids, but those books are great. I just finished book three, (The Prisoner of Azkaban) but if you are starting out, you would want to read The Sorcerer's Stone. Don't knock them 'til you've tried them!

New Book
 

I recently picked up "The Sisters of Theta Phi Kappa" by Kayla Perrin. Anyone read it or heard anything about it?

Interesting title:p

I am sorry but that sounds like hogwash. How can you NOT really be ready to write a book? If you are not ready, then don't publish it. Excuses are the tools... :rolleyes:

I have to agree...both books were great! :D

There's another new book out now!!!!
