Loved every moment!🫶🏾🖤🫶🏾🖤🫶🏾🖤
Thank you for the recommendations. One of my goals for 2025 is to read more books by black authors, and this popped up in my recs at the perfect time. 🖤
You have read all my favorites!
I would like to tell you about a new, excellent book. It is an excellent read. It is called. I am that I am the human origin story. The Real Holocaust by Edward B. Kirkwood🎉❤
I want to thank you for your amazing book recommendations. Right off the bat you came in with four of my favorite authors. August Wilson, Lorraine Hansberry, and my personal favorite miss Toni Morrison. I haven't read Jazz yet, but plan to do so in 2025. Thank you and keep up the great work!!!
p.s. Viola Davis & Will's books are amazing. I read them and listened to them on audiobook. Such an inspiration!🖤🖤🖤

I will be adding the piano lesson. a raisin in the sun, will, ace of spades, the cancer journals, and I have read beloved, jazz. passing, becoming, thicker than water, their eyes were watching god and finding me. Those last two are my favorites. Finding Me was soooo powerful and Their Eyes are Watching God was that book for me!! I loved everything about it.🖤
Great recommendations. Especially the autobiographies, which are often overlooked by vloggers.
I have a few of these on my TBR list, reminded me of a few books too. 🖤

I have Met President Obama when he attended Columbia University I didn't know him as President Obama i met him when he was a student at Columbia. We met in the health food stores where I sometimes shopped.
She attended Columbia University in the early 40 and late 50s Langston Hughes was also attending Columbia University at that time.

May I humbly suggest Wings Of Red. 🪽
An Autobiography- Angela Davis. A must read.
Lesser known black authors: J. California Cooper, Bernice McFadden, Diane Oliver, and Ann Petry. (:

Finding Me by Viola Davis was my favorite audiobook last year. It’s incredible.
The Crossover by Kwame Alexander was my favorite book I read last year. I don’t know if you like to read middle grade/poetry, but his are worth a try, whether you like basketball or not. It wrecked me. 😭
Thank you for these! Adding several to my tbr. I love second chance romances too. 🖤🖤🖤
I loved Viola Davis’ autobiography. I listed to it via audiobook. Loved it so much I got it as a physical copy. I also enjoyed Michelle Obama. I loved how she explained how she really didn’t want to be in politics. LOOOVVVEEDDD Will Smith’s the audio was the best way to read it!!! I think I really enjoy reading autobiography’s via audiobook.

I just finished Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon and got my hands on Beloved at the thrift shop. I absolutely loved Song of Solomon. I did not think that it would match The Bluest Eye but I have a feeling everything Morrison writes holds up to this divine standard she has crafted. Caleb Azumah Nelson and James Baldwin are next for me at the moment, but I feel an urgency to read all of these. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
agh love the recs. ive been wanting to read their eyes were watching god for a while so this is definitely a push towards it🖤
