Eroticnoire bookclub: Brown Sugar
Eroticnoire bookclub recommendation: Brown Sugar
Brown Sugar: A Collection Of Erotic Black Fiction | Edited by Carol Taylor
Brown Sugar brings together some of the most acclaimed voices in today’s black literary world — Sapphire, Natasha Tarpley, Reginald Harris, and Pamela Sneed, among them. These titillating stories cover the full spectrum of black experience and identity as they reveal sexuality and sensuality in all their varied and exotic…
i know this year has been - in one way or another - hard for every one of us. nevertheless, i always like to take the month of december for reflecting the past and planning the future - seeing what was good, what i want to leave in this year and what do i want for myself in the year that is to come. for anyone whose brain works the same way as mine, here is a little companion for you, the year compass. make yourself a cup of tea, light some candle and spend some time with yourself. this is the second year i’m doing it and i’ve been looking forward to it since november.
Author Julia Goldhirsh weaves a fantastical tale about old wars and magic in her book titled Amy’s Rebellion. Check out my review of this high stakes story.
“This book flowed well and gave us a lot of insight into different point of views by utilizing third person omniscient which I’m a fan of. I think it’s a lot easier to follow storylines when you’re not stuck in the head of one character at a time. There’s a lot of moving parts to this book and a good bit of action, but not all of it makes sense…”

Day 31 of #modernlessmarch Friendship: I think I’m very blessed that no matter where I go I’ve always made the most amazing friends. Something we started last year was our Wednesday night book study and tea party.
We meet once a week to discuss the book we’re reading, make dinner and drink tea. It’s been so special spending every week with these ladies.
On a personal note earlier this week I lost a friend. It’s been very hard but I know he’s in a better place. It also serves as a reminder to remember my friends, make time for them, and cherish them. None of us are long for this world so we must do our best with the time we have.

.P.S. I made all these capes.

Today: Russian editiotion of HP :)
Well, I do no think that there is still someone who does not know who Harry Potter is. I`ve been a big fan of his books and films as long as I can remember. This story made me who I am now because it made my childhood magic and wonderful. I`m not a child anymore but I still have this special feeling watching HP movies or rereading it.
I`m so glad that first russian covers math the original ones. I know how much editors love to change them but back in the days they made a right decision.
I remeber my feeling buying them as a child. I loved these covers so much. I was so obsessed with this series that whenever I watched a film I took the matching book with me.
I`m so grateful for J.K. Rowling because thanks to her and her books I started to love reading seriously. I found out that I adore fantasy books thanks to that amazing woman.
These are not just books, they are the world. Weren`t you wainting for you letter as a child? I was! Well, I was a bit dissapointed that I didn`t get it but I believed that I can help this world even as a muggle. Such a naive kid :D
Lately, we got a few more books translated. I`m talking about related books such as:
Fantastic beasts and where to find them
Quidditch through the ages
The tales of Beedle the Bard
I love these books too but I definitely have some complaints! How could they change the traditional translation???
Instead of Quidditch – Quiddish
Instead of Dumbledore and muggles we have wrong pronunciacion.
You can say that it does not matter but I will disagree. When your mothertongue is an original language of all these books, of course it does not matter to you, becayse translators can ruin nothing. But when you have to survive with translated versions believe me even the wrong letter makes you angry. When you know how it needs to be and you see it the wrong way, you get angry and upset. Especially, when you talk about something so importnant to you.
Also now we have the new covers that look amazing. If you have all of them than you can see the image of the Hogwarts when these books are standing on your shelf. It`s great, really, but I believe that these covers are more personal, they have so much more soul and feeling in them.
P.S. I hope that one day I will be able to have the English and the Spanish books< because there are so many beautiful covers and I`m definitely a bookoholic!

Such a powerful book by @michelleobama. I just finished it and she ends the book with this quote. Absolutely touched my heart. Loved her voice and the way she shared her beautiful story. Make sure to read it, it has life lessons and amazing stories of her childhood that baffled me about how strong she is. Thank you for this lovely book ❤

- 4.5/5.0
- going through the started, but never finished text. so happy that i picked this up & believe its testimony to everything at the right time. really didn’t know much if anything at all about the chairman. not only does this text include a brief biography, but also the works of mao & his wife. really an eye opener into the driving force behind his mission. also got a change to brush up on world history as well as marxism, communism, socialism, etc. while reading this text i was so captivated that i watched documentaries, scholarly interviews, & did a bit more research. this book is so short and easy to read that i highly suggest it. although it does its best to set the stage, i could see if someone did not posses the basics of world politics or marxism it could be a bit much, but you wouldn’t be completely lost.
- another don’t know how it got in the library, but am happy to give it a home. i would suggest borrowing this book, if so moved, yes purchase. however, there may be & probably are better text out there on mao Tse-tung, which i would suggest reading. he is an interesting man.
Book Club selection was Ask The Dust by John Fante. Mixed reviews: 5 + 2 + 1 neutral. Great heated discussion that really swayed 50-50. Half the group hated the main character.

Back-to-back Book Clubs! Today was Feminist Book Club and the selection was: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. YA novel that was interesting. “Glad the book exists for a (younger) target audience” was the consensus. It was voted for this reason. Oh, but we had an EXCELLENT topical discussion as today’s attendees were all POC. ✊

January 2018 Book Club Miss Burma by Charmaine Craig — Unanimous thumbs up (7 total)! Riveting book based on author’s family story. We all learned something new in reading this book: history, the different ethnic groups in Myanmar (oh, and it also had a couple of interesting sex scenes).

I hosted December Book Club at my apt in Harlem! This month’s selection was My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante. 4 thumbs up + 3 neutrals + 1 thumbs down. Ahem, I was a strong thumbs up (appreciated the female friendship & the class nuances) Lotsa Italian wine & yummy food.

September 2017 Book Club selection (held in early Oct b/c of Jewish High Holidays) was “Before the Fall” by Noah Hawley. This rec’d mixed reviews from our group: 2 + 2 + 1 neutral. Referred to by someone in the group as a #trashtastic summer read.

Whats your process of writing? Do you take a journal with you, write stuff on your phone or sit down at a certain time to write?
On the left, my journals I write my poem ideas in. On the right, my finished first poetrybook ‘Teenage Journal’!
