Get ready E. Lynn Harris fans, his new novel Any Way the Wind Blows will be
in stores July 10, 2001. Harris brings back a mix of characters from his
previous best sellers, focusing on John Basil Henderson, who's glad to break the hearts of bothwomen and men. When Basil finds his life swinging out of control, he wonders

the men) and hanging out with his new friend, and rogue's rogue Bartholemew
(aka "Black Bart,")a handsome hunk of a man who stands to make Basil look
like a choir boy. All is well until Basil's picture perfect life starts
to unravel... Is someone out to get the unsinkable John Basil Henderson?

My Soul to Keep by Tannarive Due (black female horror book writer). EXCELLENT BOOK!!!!!! It will have you deeply involved from front to end. It is in the horror genre but it really deals with supernatural beings. It really isn't horror even though there are some horrific parts. A definitet MUST READ!!!

I just finished "The Bonesetter's Daughter" by Amy Tan. She also wrote the Joy Luck Club. This book is so good. It's about those deep dark family secrets you don't want to tell nor forget. I advise anyone to pick it up.

Has anyone read that book called Sisterhood? If so how was it?

I don't know exactly when it was published, I was shopping at Wal-Mart and I picked it up! It was a lot better than her sisters book! I was too drawn out...I also have read all of Rosalyn's books..She is a better writer than Terry to me..

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.

I hope this one is better than Liar's Game, I was a little disappointed with that one.

Tonight I was on Amazon and saw some new books so I decided to share the titles and authors:

1. The Ties that Bind by Electa Rome Parks

2. All That and a Bag of Chips by Darrien Lee

3. Hand Me Down Heartache by Tajuana "TJ" Butler

4. Taken for Granted by Earl Sewell

5. RIP. . .Til We Meet Again by Sonya Senell Wash

6. Saturday's Child by Gayle Jackson Sloan

7. Near Perfect by Sharon Mitchell

8. Tangled Web by Pamela Williams-Guinn

9. The Upper Room by Mary Monroe

10. 10 Minutes Past Too Late by Anika Malone

11. Six Days in January by Frederick Cooper

12. For Love's Sake by Michelle McGriff

Ones that I have read within the past month:

1. A Chocolate Affair by Sheila Copeland (sequel to Chocolate Star)

2. Sister Sister -- 3 novellas about sister sister relationships

3. Ever After by Edwardo Jackson (in progress, so far it is OKAY)

4. Child of God by Lolita Files (Hamlet type plot, very interesting)

5. What You Owe Me by Bebe Moore Campbell (she signed it for me last month and it was an EXCELLENT read)

**I forgot that I have read The Sisters of Theta Phi Kappa by Kayla Perrin while it was a good read, it could have been told without the characters being in a sorority. I think her making them sorority members was a marketing ploy to attract members of the literary population who are in a sorority.

How do you have time to read so much? I'm in a book club and I barely get through my one a month. We just read BeBe Moore Campbell's What You Owe Me and it was excellent. I want to get the TJ Butler book because her first one was good.

Sometimes I would rather read. I am a reader, a fast one at that. Plus I am single so a lot of times I curl up in bed with a book.

I am not an avid fan of Omar Tyree, but blackexpressions keeps sending me these books every week (which I will be sending back, after I read them ); anyway, his newest novel "Just Say No" is actually pretty decent, if you get the chance, read it. And let's not forgot that the 9th book of the Left Behind Series came out yesterday...

[DreamfulOne]

Desecration (book #9 to the Left Behind Series) is now available By Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins ~ I think those are the authors names

[RENEEDST_22]

I called Blackexpression and asked them to put me on the Don't Reply Don't Send List! And so far if I forget I do not recevie something I did not want!

Has anyone read any books by Zane.
