I am so behind with reading! So far, I have finished #1, #2, and #11 on my list. Here goes:

Michelle – it was “okay” but I did not like the flow of the book. I don’t know what I expected, but it did not grab my attention and you know what we will do, we will pick it up, put it down again, pick it up. I finally finished and although I know more about our beautiful and classy First Lady, I do know if I would recommend this for a book club read.

A Letter to My Sisters and Looking thru the Fence were both by new author Voncele Savage. Great quotes throughout the book. Again, both books were not what I thought, but they were both very uplifting.

Okay – Color Me Butterfly – wonderful book! I cried, I laughed, I was angry, I was sad, I could truly relate so it was very emotional for me — what a wonderful journey. I had a problem with the entire Isaac thing even until the end (I won’t go into detail). I cannot wait for our book club discussion next month. Sorry I have been MIA lately. It has been crazy the last couple of weeks. A few more weeks to go and this semester will be over! Gotta love higher ed….

Okay 1. 2. 4. and 5 down so far this month.

Okay Just finished So You Call Yourself a Man, Carl Weber has to be one of the best male authors out there, his style of writing is not only unique, but very descriptive and entertaining. I have been a fan of his for years and look forward to all of his books. The characters were very realistic and made realistic decisions, that werent always very good decisions but they made them, which made for an interesting read. Way to Go Carl. Normally Carl writes about men and their issues and this is one of those books, His last few have touchded on women, and they have been pretty good as well. But his forte’ is to write about African American men. He gives a perspective as a man and through his writing, that makes me say sometimes, ” That is why men do some crazy stuff, this is what they are really thinking and why they make certain decisions. No male bashing just some understanding

I loved the imagery of Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. It all fit as a story. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to everyone who has not already read it. It was not a hard read. It kept me very interested and wanting to read it. It was not long and did not drag along either just over 200 pages.

So 3 down and 9 to go
