Last year, I made a goal of reading 24 books and surpassed that by reading a total of 53 books. So here’s a recap of some of my favs…in no particular order.
Only for the Week by Natasha Bishop
The MMC (main male character) is THE example of my “may this kind of love find me”. Rome was so intentional in the things he did with Janelle. Of course, there were bumps along the way, but what perfect love story doesn’t. It was beautiful to read how everything fell into place for them. Read this now, read it today.
Cutthroat by Octavia Grant
I could not help but to give this book 5 stars. From the time I clicked on the cover in my Kindle to the very end when I “turned” the last page, Octavia had me by the scalp (and that ain’t hard to do seeing as how I only have a scoop of hair lol). I’m not going to say too much other than if you haven’t read this yet you needed to do it like yesterday.
Wash Hair Diaries by Jamila Rowser
This graphic novel was such a cute, light-hearted read about sisterhood. Each character went through her own situation but with the support of the other women in the friend group, they were able to overcome. Somebody cue the Girlfriends theme song.
Matriarch by Tina Knowles
I love a good memoir. I’m very much nosey Rosie and any information I can learn about a person’s life I appreciate. Ms. Tina really takes the reader through her life from the beginning and through all the good and bad times. She helped me gain even more of an understanding of why the family matriarch is so so so important.
Losing Sight by Tati Richardson
This was my introduction into Tati’s work and it was utter perfection. As a 4-eyed baddie, it had me hoping I too can find a pair of magical glasses so I can fall in love with a sexy eye Dr. Heck, I’ll take a pair of magical glasses to see through all the male baddies of this sassy apocalypse. Eeeeeeeeeeyyyyuuuucccckkkk!
