I agree Kayla, my book room has been so overwhelming. I keep telling my husband that i wish it was half the size. But I still want a door. 🤣😭 A Nook where the toddler couldn’t interrupt would be ideal. 👸🏽
In totally unrelated news, your hair is beautiful.😍 And Amazon got me the last two weeks - they had buy 2, get the 3rd free. And I bought nine. So glad this is a safe space. 😉
If it’s not a genre you typically read I recommend starting with The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson. It’s not super heavy or long and it’s a great story. 🥰
I haven’t read arcs in so long . I need to get to them I have a couple I need to get too . I gottttta get into historical fiction !!!! The dirty Diana cover is sooooo pretty 😊
I have a love hate relationship with ARCs. Part of me enjoys reading books before hearing other peoples opinions. The other part of me has so many books to read already I should just focus on my TBR 🤦🏾♀️
👸🏽The last book I read put me in a reading slump that I’m still trying to claw my way out of. So I’m going back to my roots with a Harlequin romance book and hopefully that helps me get back on track.
The Queens Spade sounds soooo good! Is it told on 1st or 3rd person? 🤔 I love anything Alice Feeney and can’t wait to get my hands on her new one. I have to get up on these ARCs I’m slippin’ out here LOL Instantly started singing Micheal Jackson when you talked about Dirty Diana🤣 Great vlog per usual sis🩷👸🏽
@ Oh I’m for sure going to be looking out for that release then. 1st is just so much easier for me when it’s a genre that’s not my go-to you know? Thanks girl 😉
I need to make a video for this!! But right off the top I would say 1. Yellow Wife 2. The House of Eve (both by Sadeqa Johnson) 3. Family (by J California Cooper) 4. The Vanishing Half (by Brit Bennett) 5. Red at the Bone (by Jacqueline Woodson) 🤗 Thanks for this question! Going to have to make a designated video of my top 10
@KaylasBookishVibes I finished Island Queen in November. It was good. Her books are thick, but the chapters are short & there's plenty of drama, so it goes fast. Queen of Exiles is on my list to read.

👸🏾👸🏾 The Queen’s Spade sounds soooo good!
Rock Paper Scissors by Alice Fenney is good. Very twisty. I'll have to check out the one you suggested.
I agree Kayla, my book room has been so overwhelming. I keep telling my husband that i wish it was half the size. But I still want a door. 🤣😭 A Nook where the toddler couldn’t interrupt would be ideal. 👸🏽
That would be the perfect space 🥰
👸🏽lol it was the outro for me!! 🤣😆

Bridgerton is absolutely historical FANTASY in my mind …and I love it 😏. 👸🏾
Historical Fantasy is the perfect way to view the netflix series! and same, it’s one of my favorites 🥰
👸🏾good reading week🙌🏾the 📚 nook is super cute. Enjoyed!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it 🥰
Hi Kayla! I love your festive bows on your bookshelves :) it's like they are such a present to you!
Thank you! 🤗 They really are. My younger self would be so happy looking at all the books we could choose from 🥰
Love the sweatshirts that you wore! Where did you get them? Plus your book nook area is cute with the bows ❤👸🏾

In totally unrelated news, your hair is beautiful.😍
And Amazon got me the last two weeks - they had buy 2, get the 3rd free. And I bought nine. So glad this is a safe space. 😉
thank you 🥰 and i totally missed that sale 😩
👸🏿...Hmmm I might have to dip my toe into historical fiction. Not sure if it'll be my jam but I'll have to give it a try.
You should try Vanessa Riley's books. She writes historical fiction with a hint of romance. I just finished Island Queen & it was good.
@TriceyReads Thanks for the recommendation!! I will check her out!
If it’s not a genre you typically read I recommend starting with The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson. It’s not super heavy or long and it’s a great story. 🥰
👸🏾I started historical fiction this year and I love it!
I’m so glad! It’s one of my favorites 🥰
I never noticed dollar tree sells books 😬😩 I will check it out next time I’m there. Thanks Kayla 🤎👸🏾
my dollar tree is usually cleared out when I go in but every once in a while I find something. 🤗
Saving the date Jan14th! 👸🏾 🫶🏽📚 I’ve got to into becoming an arc reader☺️
have you tried Netgalley? super easy to use but be careful it’s easy to over request books 😅
Books for $1.25?! Omggg that’s such a great deal! 👸🏾✨🫶🏽
Right?! Can’t beat that price 😊
Next year I plan to read different genres and historical fiction is one of them on my list. I’ve been writing down all the books you suggest 👸🏾
I think you will really enjoy the genre 🥰

Started reading Hathor and the Prince this week! Been having a good time, loved Verity’s book!
Really enjoyed this series! Glad you are too 🤗
👸🏽The last book I read put me in a reading slump that I’m still trying to claw my way out of. So I’m going back to my roots with a Harlequin romance book and hopefully that helps me get back on track.
A good break from reading always helps me reset when i’m in a slump.
I read The Other Princess and I really enjoyed it.
👀 Not Dezmond Z…commenting on ME 🤣 (you have to sing that) I’ll push it to the top 🥰
now why did I automatically start singing it 😭😭
👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾
👸🏽👸🏽🤗
🥰🤗
I have read alice feeny books( i have enjoyed them) and resisted ordering that book because her books always come up under KU.
Hopefully I like this one! If so i’ll have to check out her back log on my kindle. 🤗

Queens Spade is 1st person! And I did the same when I saw Dirty Diana on the BOTM site 🤣

Hi What historical Fiction books by black authors would you recommend
I need to make a video for this!! But right off the top I would say 1. Yellow Wife 2. The House of Eve (both by Sadeqa Johnson) 3. Family (by J California Cooper) 4. The Vanishing Half (by Brit Bennett) 5. Red at the Bone (by Jacqueline Woodson) 🤗 Thanks for this question! Going to have to make a designated video of my top 10

🤗 Thanks for sticking around
@KaylasBookishVibes yw 🤗😀

👸🏾 You may like Vanessa Riley's books. She writes historical fiction about black women & their lives.
I agree! Vanessa Riley’s books are good. She also has a few Regency era mystery novels that are pretty good.
@yaszit2210 I love mysteries. Thanks for letting me know! I'll look for those on my next library trip.
I actually have Island Queen and Queen of Exiles by her, they are pretty thick though so I haven’t read them yet 😅🤭
@KaylasBookishVibes I finished Island Queen in November. It was good. Her books are thick, but the chapters are short & there's plenty of drama, so it goes fast. Queen of Exiles is on my list to read.
