It's been a minute Readers! But we've still been reading, have you??? Let's get back to it with this next read by Wayétu Moore titled "She Would Be King." Our next discussion will be held on November 8th, 2025 at 1pm EST on Zoom. Hope to see you there! Happy reading!

This is the story of "Liberia's early years told through three unforgettable characters who share an uncommon bond. Gbessa, exiled from the West African village of Lai, is starved, bitten by a viper, and left for dead, but still she survives. June Dey, raised on a plantation in Virginia, hides his unusual strength until a confrontation with the overseer forces him to flee. Norman Aragon, the child of a white British colonizer and a Maroon slave from Jamaica, can fade from sight when the earth calls him. When the three meet in the settlement of Monrovia, their gifts help them salvage the tense relationship between the African American settlers and the indigenous tribes, as a new nation forms around them."

Our read for next month is "Sky Full of Elephants" by Cebo Campbell! And THIS book promises to be a wild ride! We have lots of time for you to grab your copy and get into it with us. See you in June for our discussion, Readers! 📚

"One day, a cataclysmic event occurs: all of the white people in America walk into the nearest body of water. A year later, college professor Charlie Brunton receives a call from his estranged daughter Sidney, setting off a chain of events as they journey across a truly “post-racial” America in search of answers." Let go!

I know I'm a little late but I just got my copy of our next book: Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi. It's a short read, so I'm looking forward to finishing it this week. Just in time for our book club discussion on Saturday, April 12 at 1pm EST. Happy reading!

Hello Readers! Our next book club read is "All Her Little Secrets" by Wanda M. Morris. Get your copies, and get to reading! 😁 I can't wait to dive in and start discussing. I'll see you all at the next book club meeting!

"Ellice Littlejohn seemingly has it all: an Ivy League law degree, a well-paying job as a corporate attorney in midtown Atlanta, great friends, and a "for fun" relationship with a rich, charming executive, who just happens to be her white boss. But everything changes one cold January morning when Ellice arrives in the executive suite and finds him dead with a gunshot to his head. And then she walks away like nothing has happened. Why? Ellice has been keeping a cache of dark secrets..."

I really loved reading When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole! Wow, what a ride! Really reminded me of They Cloned Tyrone on Netflix. Definitely a must watch if you haven't seen it! 😍 Great blend of suspense, conspiracy, and social commentary. If you liked that movie, you'll love this book.

Can’t wait for our next book club pick (which I'll be posting immediately after this post!) 😁
