    I wanted to read “The Thing Around Your Neck” by Adiche. My library doesn’t own it. I did read “Half of a Yellow Sun.” I loved it. I’ll try to get one of these other books you have listed.

    After reading Carleen’s book, ORANGE MINT HONEY, I may be intrigued to check out her other book. Has anyone else read it?

    Loved, “Par for the Curse”. Toyi did a fabulous job creating a varied group of women and weaving some of our real life issues into a thoroughly entertaining tale. About to order “I Am Not Sidney Poitier.”
