That is true. Most of the books I read are romance and Urban lit. I was an African American/Women Studies major at Rutgers so kinda got overburned with those books.. Stuff like Platitudes By Trey Ellis and books by Audrey Lourde. I make it my business to throw history and autobiographies into my reading…..But I am really diverse, one of my favorite books this year was Sweet Georgia Brown and I re-read Their Eyes Were Watching God this year. I also love Alice Walker, Gloria Naylor, Octavia Butler, Tananarive Due and Toni Morrison. I get alot of romance because I have a membership with Harlequin and that is an auto veg thing for me. But I am a romance snob…I am a little picky with those. Other genres I will read pretty much anything as long as it can hold my interest. I must admit, since I found AA writers, I do not give much attention to others these days. There is so much out there by AA writers that I have not seen yet. WOW that was alot.

Last week I received Rhythms of Grace by Marilynn Griffith which comes highly recommended by team member Jennifer, James Baldwin’s Harlem by Herbert Boyd, who moderated the James Baldwin panel at the last HBF and recommended by team member, Priscilla and Passion’s Furies by AlTonya Washington, also recommended by Cilla.

I am waiting on the Diahann Carroll’s review book and a couple others that escapes me at the moment.

I’ve got a few of those to read too that are on your list-Edgar Sawtelle, The Heretic’s Daughter, Matrimony. I received a few books last week but I can’t remember them all. I’m going to make sure to write down what I receive this week so I know what to write next week.
