DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Thumbs Up or Down? Thank God for freedom of speech–which means basically you can say whatever, whenever about anybody in America. But did Luda go too far this time? Why or Why Not? Will this rap (song) have any impact on Obama? If so, how? Overall, what do you think about the rap? Luda [...]
Since today is the last day of the Between the Sheets monthly showcase, I am spotlighting 13 books from that theme. Here’s my list:
THIRTEEN BOOKS FROM THE EROTIC GENRE THAT I READ AND RECOMMEND
Black folks are on the minds of folks lately. Lets see, in June, Obama got the Democrats nod for Presidential nominee. Last week over 2MM folks watched Blacks in America. This week the House of Representatives issues an apology. The Cohen resolution does not mention reparations. It does commit the House to rectifying “the lingering consequences [...]
Arthur has definitely added a lot of sizzle to this book. The story was fast paced with gyrating sexual scenes that will keep the reader engrossed from the first page. Arthur has also added just enough secrets, scandal and surprises that make this story more than just an erotic tale. I loved this story and I have placed it in the top category of surprise books for the year.
Gail McFarland introduces readers to Olympic hopeful, Marlea Kellogg in Dream Runner. Marlea has dreamed of winning a Gold medal in the Olympics since she saw Evelyn Ashford at the Los Angeles games in 1984.
Set in the bustling cities of Atlanta and Chicago, music executive Justin Vaughn is complacent with his life. Justin spends his time balancing climbing the ladder of success and weaving in and out of meaningless relationships, with more women than he could care to name, or count–until a tragedy occurs and Justin suddenly finds himself in a struggle with demons from his past and present.
Get off the sidelines. I have learned that making regular deposits into a pity box will not change your life. Waiting for some existential force to fix your life, without you doing anything, is not realistic. You picked up this book because you are seeking more life satisfaction. You know that you want more than the day-to-day grind. You know there is no benefit in living in the shadow of past failure. You understand that the only person that can get your life moving is you. Live Your Privilege is your how-to-guide to stepping into the greatness of YOUR life.
APOOO congratulates Angela Benson on her newest release, Up Pops the Devil.
