Af Am Children's Lit/The Brown Bookshelf

Wow! That's a really great price for so many books. I usually would buy my books from Amazon.com but for the past couple of years I have been going to the library because all of my books were starting to take up too much space in my apartment.

Nikki and Soror OohSoFly, I know you both have daughters in this age range. Check out Nikki and Deja by Karen English. I just started reading it for The Brown Bookshelf and it is so cute.

Nikki, I also mentioned Willimena Rules to OohSoFly this morning but it's a series of 7 books by Valerie Wilson Wesley.

thanks for the info C...we're supposed to go to the li-berry (lol) today but I think I wanna put some books on reserve first because she can never make up her mind and I end up being like ...I hope they have some of the ones you recommended...I try to buy her books with characters that are people of color as often as possible...

I went to West Blvd yesterday and grabbed all of the Willimena titles as well as Nikki and Deja. I'm profiling both of these authors so that is why I have this wealth of knowledge all of a sudden.

During February, we will be profiling picture book, middle grade, and young adult authors. I forget all of the titles and authors but this site has all the info.

Also, when you go to Amazon and look up a book, they typically recommend others that are similar in story line, character, other books by that author as well that is helpful with reserving titles and just going by to pick them up.

Hey Sorors,

I am not sure if you know of Soror Stephanie Perry Moore she is a Christian author for children and teens. She is also a part of the Henry County chapter here in GA. I have had the chance to meet her at a joint book signing (Her and I) she is a wonderful person and does have a great following. I pray I will have the same with my new book " From God's Lips, To My Heart, For Your Spirit" (I am a christian poet). Her website is below. Happy reading.
