I read one book by Octavia Butler, Kindred, have you read that one? If I remember correctly it was about a Black Woman who is going between two different time frames.. Slavery and the 70's, the trip was she would go experience something trumatic and would wake up in a different era! Check it out if you have not already read it...

Rene'e

What's the name of that book?

Has anyone seen anything new by Tina McElroy Ansa? I think she is a great author. So far I've read "Baby of the Family",
"Ugly Ways", and "The hand I fan with" Am I missing anything?

For those that haven't already, you may want to check out these authors. I have read at least one book by each of them and I enjoyed them. Connie Brisco, Rosalyn McMillan, BeBe Moore Campbell, Walter Mosely, Bertice Berry, Anne Rice, and Nathan McCall

Here are some books that I have read that were alittle different then my usual selections but I thought that they were interesting

"Coming of Age in Mississippi" by Anne Moody

"Mama Day" I believe it's by Gloria Naylor.
This one was kind of tricky but ended up pretty good.

"Tell me I'm dreamin" by Eboni Snoe.
It's kind of slow at first but ends up interessting.


"Incidents in the life of a Slave Girl" by Linda Brent
This one is a narative of a slave fron the 1820's to the 1840's.. I had to read it for a class but I really enjoyed it.


READ UP LADIES!!
