I have a few of these on my TBR list, reminded me of a few books too. 🖤
Great recommendations. Especially the autobiographies, which are often overlooked by vloggers.
thank you so much!
I will be adding the piano lesson. a raisin in the sun, will, ace of spades, the cancer journals, and I have read beloved, jazz. passing, becoming, thicker than water, their eyes were watching god and finding me. Those last two are my favorites. Finding Me was soooo powerful and Their Eyes are Watching God was that book for me!! I loved everything about it.🖤
i’m so happy we have so many favorites in common! 🥺
I just finished Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon and got my hands on Beloved at the thrift shop. I absolutely loved Song of Solomon. I did not think that it would match The Bluest Eye but I have a feeling everything Morrison writes holds up to this divine standard she has crafted. Caleb Azumah Nelson and James Baldwin are next for me at the moment, but I feel an urgency to read all of these. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I must get my hands on Song of Solomon! Baldwin is also an author I want to get more acquainted with. I read a short story from him (Sonny’s Blues) and absolutely adored it. I’m glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you for being here!
🖤 I'm new to your channel n I love all the books you recommend love it got some 🛍️ to do
agh love the recs. ive been wanting to read their eyes were watching god for a while so this is definitely a push towards it🖤
it’s sooo good, nothing like what i expected! i hope you love it when you get to it! 🙇🏽♀️
An Autobiography- Angela Davis. A must read.
Lesser known black authors: J. California Cooper, Bernice McFadden, Diane Oliver, and Ann Petry. (:
Taking notes 📝🙇🏽♀️
🖤 and wrote down every book rec
thank you so much for watching 🥹
I’m still here by Austin Channing Brown is one of my favs
She attended Columbia University in the early 40 and late 50s Langston Hughes was also attending Columbia University at that time.
Beautiful book readers, here are a few book recommendations: (1) One Pale Summer (2) Things I Never Told (3) The High Price Of A Good Man (by debra phillips)
thank you for the recommendations yvette!
Finding Me by Viola Davis was my favorite audiobook last year. It’s incredible.
The Crossover by Kwame Alexander was my favorite book I read last year. I don’t know if you like to read middle grade/poetry, but his are worth a try, whether you like basketball or not. It wrecked me. 😭
Thank you for these! Adding several to my tbr. I love second chance romances too. 🖤🖤🖤
I will definitely check it out! Thank you for being here! 🖤
I agree. I love Kwame Alexander's work. You'll enjoy Rebound, if you haven't read it yet.
I have Met President Obama when he attended Columbia University I didn't know him as President Obama i met him when he was a student at Columbia. We met in the health food stores where I sometimes shopped.

I loved Viola Davis’ autobiography. I listed to it via audiobook. Loved it so much I got it as a physical copy. I also enjoyed Michelle Obama. I loved how she explained how she really didn’t want to be in politics. LOOOVVVEEDDD Will Smith’s the audio was the best way to read it!!! I think I really enjoy reading autobiography’s via audiobook.
Yes! Something about the author narrating their own story is so immersive!

Hi Rebecca! It's refreshing to see you and your content. I enjoyed the list of books you compiled for BHM. I have read their eyes were watching God by Zora Neale Hurtson, a long time ago. Before I let go and long shot by Kennedy Ryan were masterpieces. I have also read Seven days in June by Tia Willams. I am waiting to buy her new novel (A love for song for Ricki wilde.) I did listen to Will by Will smith. I enjoyed Viola Davis's finding me. (In fact, my profile pic has her book cover...) I do plan on adding Toni Morisson's books on my TBR.🖤🖤🖤🤎
Our reading tastes are so incredibly similar! I’m very excited to get my hands on Tia William’s new book! Love the profile pic & keep me updated on your Morrison journey 🥺🖤 Thank you for being here!
May I humbly suggest Wings Of Red. 🪽
Added to my list!
