    Hey Donna! The event sounds like a lot of fun! I’m glad the sun came out for it. :) I have been dying to try Ayana Mathis’ writing. I have The Unsettled on my TBR, but I’m adding her short story collection now too! The Door of No Return is good, but a sad read. Looks like the next book in the series is due out soon. I just picked up Alexander’s memoir and am really looking forward to reading it soon as well. Sink is also a tough read, but I felt like it was a different perspective and I really appreciated that. :) Eye On The Struggle is going on the TBR. Will is a really good memoir. I haven’t read Worthy yet, but would like. Ooh House of Stone is gorgeous and sounds really interesting. Adding another book to the TBR. I read Wahala last year I think. It was a fun enough read, but I wasn’t thrilled with the ending. Heaven & Earth Grocery Store is so good! I read it a couple of months back and expect it will be in my top reads for the year. Adding The Three Mothers to the TBR. Fantastic haul!

    A book I suggest because I read it and loved it , A Quilt of Souls by Phyllis Biffle :- It's her memoir Here is what it's about At age four, Phyllis Biffle Elmore was plucked off her front porch in Detroit and dropped on her grandmother Lula Horn’s doorstep in rural Alabama. Phyllis felt utterly abandoned until Grandma Lula showed her both all-encompassing love and her intricate “Quilts of Souls.” Phyllis listened intently as Lula told epic stories of folks who had passed on as she turned their clothing into breathtaking quilts for their families. Grandma Lula’s generosity of spirit, strong will, and creative soul animate every page and through the quilts, she paints portraits of extraordinary Black women born before and after the Civil War. They are enslaved people, laundresses, storytellers, healers, and quilters whose stories have gone untold until now. Beautifully written and brilliantly told, Phyllis weaves back and forth through time, piecing together true tales of racism, sexism, and colorism, but also strength and pride, creating a multigenerational patchwork honoring her family and ancestors. From the lush visuals to the powerful history, Quilt of Souls is oral tradition written and preserved for posterity.

      I'm sure the author wanted to reveal the racism, hypocrisy, and abuse at the State Hospital, which are all real. The era circa 1936 played a factor in the influx of immigrants to America. You must read the author's background to understand some of his viewpoints as well. I was absolutely upset at some parts of the book as well, and yes, this was a very good read!

    If you are trying to turn this into a business you have to think about copyright. The font is already copyrighted, so that is out. Books and Bookmarks has the same problem. In fact that is the problem with most of them. Your birth name is copyrighted by you at birth. So, Donna's Book Addiction would work but your name would be better. You should also think about changing the Blog to the same name as this page and anything else. It would help your search engines. I think Donna Pear Green is a great and different pseudonym.

    I have watched many videos posted by book readers. Most mention how they love the covers yet neglect to name the artists/photographers. Please give them their due.

      Well said, I will be more mindful of this going forward. Thanks for watching! ♥️

    Viper's Dream sounds intriguing.

      I have several of Jake Lamar’s books, but Viper’s Dream does indeed sound intriguing 🤔

    You have a great varietal haul. I loved big picture books. Beautiful pics. Black Cake seems like quite a read. Wonder if the show is as good.

      Thank you for watching. I’m enjoying the Black Cake Series so far. Of course some of the small details have been modified, but it’s still very parallel to the novel. 😊

    The cover of Soil is beautiful. I Keep wanting to pick up a copy of Flipping Boxcars, but I'm trying to be good and not spend money.

      I agree regarding the cover of “Soil.” You can purchase “Flipping Boxcars” from BookOutlet.com for under $10. Check it out…😊

    I started collecting the L. A. Banks' vampire series in mass market paperback a long time ago. I wanted to read the series from start to finish. Somewhere along the way, I dropped the ball. I am going to search for those copies so that I can read them in October. Thanks for sharing your books (and reminding me).

      I have not read the vampire series by L.A. Banks myself, but I look forward to it! Thanks for watching ♥️
