Sometimes, you read a coffee table book while at a friend’s house watching a Championship football game. 🤷🏾‍♀️ (Go Birds!)

I’m not necessarily a fan of Cher, but I’m a fan of celebrity memoirs, so…

A wild ride! Historical fiction about a “fancy girl” which, during American slavery, were usually mulatto girls who became the mistresses of their enslavers.

The audiobook narration was so good that I wouldn’t recommend this book to be read any other way.

A memoir of short vignettes about an apprentice vet in the northern English countryside in the 1930s. 🐄 🐖 A re-read for me…this time on audiobook. And I still loved it. 🐕 🐈 Gross, hilarious, silly, heartfelt. A colorful cast of characters. A satisfying ending. Hoping to read the next book in the series this summer. Holding off on the tv series…

I liked this book! The author is a comedian, the title is comedic, but the underlying message is deep. Basically, it’s a list and short ruminations on phrases to challenge alpha male attitudes. 🙆🏽‍♂️ The audiobook was so unique. Short (2 hours), then the other half was a podcast recording of the author being interviewed by his mom. And they have GREAT chemistry. 🙆🏽‍♂️ A funny, quick, uplifting end-of-summer book.

Cause sometimes I need a kick in the butt… 🗑️ But also…I LOVE throwing stuff away. Drives my husband crazy. #WhenInDoubtThrowItOut

Has hints of coming-of-age. A Black choreographer from NY takes a residency in the Northeast and comes to terms with her awareness of race on her self-esteem, her relationships, and the way she relates to her #dancers. 🩰 Beautiful descriptions of movement that I could picture crystal clear!

A feel-good, small town drama, perfect for Christmastime. 🎄 Could easily be a Hallmark movie. Not usually my bag, but it was nice to read something light for the holidays. Loved the London and Australian accents of the narrator.

The perspective of one of R. Kelly's longtime abuse victims. She gives the whole shebang. Raw, but charmingly written, considering most of it is about her childhood / teenage years. It also traces the grooming tactics used on her family members so that they would trust her with him. I'm glad she's getting to tell her story.

A book of simple essays, creatively portraying the benefits of walking. Not necessarily for physical exercise, but for mental clarity and sanity. The author talks about different parts of the world, climates, and landscapes that he's walked, and what he's gained from it.
