This past Friday, I decided that since my job is paying me to sit on my behind and answer phones that don't ring after a certain time, I might as well do something productive, yet discreet! I've already finished two books in two days! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/tongue.gif

Some of these books should be on their way to a bookstore near you anytime soon.

HAPPY READING!!

Also I recently read BUTTERSCOTCH BLUES by Margaret Johnson-Hodge. It is an excellent read.

Another interesting read is NAPPILY EVER AFTER by Trisha Thomas.

OOOOOO-OOOOOOOP!!

I was a tad bit dissappointed. I was expecting more drama! It was till a good book though.

I have read all of Rosalyn's books and have yet to encouter a book called This Side of Eternity. Her most recent book came out last summer and was titled Flip Side of Sin. When was this book published?


AAAAAAH I just went to Amazon and now am on my way to order it through our library's webpage. Thank you soror for the tip on Rosalyn. I love her writing. If you have not read her other books, they are a must read:
Knowing
One Better
Blue Collar Blues
Flip Side of Sin

Also DAY LATE DOLLAR SHORT is a great read.

I am now reading IT'S A THIN LINE by Soror Kimberla Lawson Roby and it is a book that has a Soul Food/Day Late Dollar Short vibe. I love her writing so I definitely recommend.
