I love all the comments telling you to give the books another try 😂 we love our faves. I am just glad I (and others) are able to DNF cause there was a time when I would push through miserably just to finish. Not Anymore!
Black girl unlimited was my fav book of the year! It’s so good, and tells such a story of trauma, and surviving your traumas! Just give it a try please lol.
Ya'll know I don't do fantasy, and with magic and flying things. That took me out, sis! Anywho, I feel you sis, and I haven't read Roots either. I will think it over because reading Roots is like learning to play chess to me. However, I like a challenge, so I will read it when you start reading, sis. LOL! Have a great Blessed week!😂💜🍷
I really enjoy your channel and a lot of the books you recommended, I have read or added to Libby to check out. I have Praise Song for the Butterflies checked out from the library and plan to read it soon.
Also DNF’d Sweetness of Water and Island Queen. I finished Mayor of Maxwell Street only because it was a book club pick but I absolutely did not enjoy it . I did enjoy When I think of You so I think you should give it another chance 😊
Black girl unlimited is excellent. It’s a memoir. Please give it a chance. It does have fantastical elements but it ties into black trauma. It’s so good
I’m actually joining a group who will be reading Roots starting January 2025. We will be reading a chapter a day so that should be easier for me to get through the boring parts. I also read and enjoyed When I Think of You. Maybe give it some time then pick it up again.
Hi @cynthiasimmons, I'd love to reread Roots with a discussion group it's been many years and is kind of a generational thing with me, I read my grandfather's copy and so did my Dad. Soon I'd like to give it to my nephew so a reread now would be in order. Can I ride along? Whose channel is hosting it? Many thanks in advance.

Totally agree! Less magical and more about surviving your trauma!
I loved this as well. One of the best books I read this year
I feel the same about Zadie. I was 1/3 through white teeth. Good writing but I wasn't able to finish it.
I found Hurricane in my dollar tree,wow.
When I think of you… makes me sing 🎶 Janet Jackson’s song 🎶
@@jacquelineisaac2731 ikr lol love that song
"I don't do nothing flying around in the air." SENT ME!! 😂😂😂
8 days of Christmas is on HEAVY rotation over here. It’s just the best!!

@@triciabrown5071 I will try again but it was difficult the first time lol
Awwww.... Lex, you must read Roots. It's like reading about your own family.
That’s a great idea, marking how many pages you will read before breaking… Thanks for sharing! ✨
Roots will forever be an unread classic on my shelves😂
So happy you're keeping Island Queen! It was good. If you liked Sister Mother Warrior, I think you'll like Island Queen.
I really enjoy your channel and a lot of the books you recommended, I have read or added to Libby to check out. I have Praise Song for the Butterflies checked out from the library and plan to read it soon.
I bought Roots too and ill be reading it too as some point lol! Life is too short to be wasting time on reading bad books LOL!
Wishing you luck w roots ! Maybe try some of zadies essay collections she had one come out recently intimations you make like that better.

Hi, can I join your Roots group?
Hurricane summer had me all in my feelings! Give it one more try.
