On Saturday I picked up "The Coldest Winter Ever" by Sister Souljah. I started reading it at 6pm, and stopped at 9pm. I started back reading it on Sunday at 7am and was finished by 4pm, that is how good it was. What made it so good, everything. I'm a little late on reading this book, so you may have already read it. If you have not, I would say pick it up next.

I finally, picked up "Beyond Our Mother's Footsteps" which is the sequel to "Sister Secrets". It was much easier to follow but still a lot of characters.

I have been trying to find Sister Secrets and the other book written by the same author since this summer and I have yet to find either of them! I recently received the book by Sister Souljah by mistake from a book club that I am in, I was about to send it back...is it really good? Because if it is worth it then I will keep it!

Right now, I am trying to read For the Love of Money, by Omar Tyree...it's the sequel to Fly Girl...it's moving kind of slow and I really am just not feeling it yet!

Yes, THE COLDEST WINTER EVER is very good. It's so good, because it's so realistic. Sister Souljah has a way with words, and everybody knows somebody that acts like Miss. Winter.


READ IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had to request the bookstore order "Beyond.." because they were out of stock. So if you got to B&N or one of the other chans, it shouldn't be a problem.

To anyone that is a E Lynn Harris fan he has a new book called Got to Be Real : 4 Original Love Stories itis written by Harris as well as Eric Jerome Dickey, Colin Channer, Marcus Major, and Colin Channer

I have sister secrets and Beyond our mothers footsteps.. if anyone wants to read them... one of my friends has them right now but when she fineshes you can see them.. I am not going to keep them anyway because I have no where to store them.. so email me and let me know..

Redemption Song by Bertice Berry literally gave me a chill when I was reading it.

Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson, MD is a good self-evaluation book. The main premise of the book is helping the reader identify how s/he deals with change.

Read Any Good Books Lately?
 
Sorors and SFs,

I am in the process of reading the book "Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Class," (the title is self-explanitory therefore I won't give you a summary) and I am really enjoying it. I was wondering what good books you all have read recently and what makes them so good?

I also just bought Beyond our Mother's Footsteps for my b-day (Dec 13), and like Mccoyred, I had to special order it too.

I am in the process of reading this book called Remembering Slavery. (maybe its an old book to some) Its actual interviews with slaves. I like it. Its very informative. I am always on a quest for knowledge about any and everythin especially my folks. Its sad to though some of the things bring tears to my eyes..................

i'm always reading, but the latest book that i read is called Mama's Girl by Veronica Chambers. It's about the mother - daughter relationship and the problems that arise therein. It was very good and it even had me teary eyed at times.

prettygyrl 12-21-2000 12:40 AM

The book is edited by Ira Berlin, Marc Favreau, and Steven F.Miller. Published in conjuction with Library Of Congress.......UM probably be easier to look for it by the title http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I have read "For the Love of Money". It was okay. It was kind of slow compared to "FLy Girl"
