Ms. Toni´s last blog post..OOSA Online Book Club gave 5 stars to: Daughter Denied
Ms. Toni I hate when books are plotless and of late they seem to be more common…too many authors are throwing stuff out there to meet deadlines rather than giving readers something we can read.
You had a good month Yas. I just got back from discussing Murder, Mayhem and a Fine Man. Basically was well received. But had some questions which I am getting ready to emai the author about right now.

Favorite book – Nobody But You by Francis Ray- Nothing really special. This was a really good story from her, I was happy because the last one let me down some.
Least – Sex and the Single Braddock by Robyn Amos – This book was just boring to me. I have had this series since it came out and had to put this book down. Because I want to finish the series, I had to read this.
