Cousin, you do what brings you joy. Know that the major of your audience loves your content. Folks need to realize not every book is for everybody. Books also have a season. You may not be in the right season for that book. You have excellent recommendations. Do I read everything you recommend, nope. Why, it’s not the right season for where my mind is right now but I do keep a list so I can go back when things have changed. Sister, don’t let a handful of people discourage you. You are a light that we need to shine brightly. 💕if no one has told you today, you are kind, you are smart, you are wonderful. I love you.💕 Next time you have a migraine for more than three days, try going to the ER. You need IV meds. They will not let you go home until it’s starts going away. Mommy or someone will need to drive you home.🤗
I thoroughly enjoy your content, book recs, commentary… I want to read more diversely and outside my comfort zone, so I’m thankful for your channel. It’s kind of boring (to me) to watch creators who only read what I read and I haven’t “met” one yet who hasn’t introduced me to a new author, book or genre that I would like to explore at the very least. There’s so much beauty in diversity/variety 😍
Coffee Monsterz Co. is a wonderful company! Helen started the business when she was a teenager in high school. She's such a lovely person. Check out her reading and knitting stickers! ♥️
Queen Sister, Folks will always have something to complain about. I totally agree with you that everything is not for everybody. I love your channel ❤️! I subscribed to your channel because you offered a diverse range of book genres. I don't typically gravitate towards "coochie" books. However, listening to your reviews has changed my perspective. I truly hope that you enjoyed your birthday! Be blessed. P.S. I love the unda'nefa bar 😂 (I'm sure that I misspelled it).
1:00:19 you are like a friend in my head. Even when you're fussing at us, i enjoy listening to you when I'm getting my clothes ready for work, busy cooking in the kitchen. You just feel like a friend who gives me some really good book recs and ideas on genres I might not have known about. I'm grateful for you 💐
Cousin, I’m going to get you the sign I put up on my door. It says “If it doesn’t apply then don’t stick.” You apply to me and that’s why we gonna stick together like best friend cousins. Keep up the great videos. You inspire me soooooo much. We are fr family. Love you cousin ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whew Chile, we are a kindred spirits!!!! I love me some "good pens" lmao. My kids and husband knows not to use my pens!!!! Love your content!!! I've found me people finally 😂😂😂 Don't start me on my stickers for my planner 😮 Ummm do you Hun, reading diversely is a choice and some of us want people we can talk to about something other than the "Kwechie" and urban fiction books!!! NOT that I don't read them 😊!!! But I love knowledge and growth with my degree having self!!!
I want to read Model Home so much, but I know it’s going to give me the heebeejeebees….lol! I love CoffeeMonsterCo stickers though I’ve never bought any before. I’m a journaler, too. I’m such a pen snob and Pentel Energel are one of my favorites. Mr. Pens are good, too. Try the Writech pens and fountain pen. There are many economical fountains pens. Those Pilot are good starter fountains pens
Thank you again cousin (I dunno if you can tell that I’m binging your vlogs lmaooo) I will be honest, I found you from the coochie recs but I stayed because I do like your recommendations honestly. I do think that I do read diversely in general but there are a lot of black authors that I wasn’t aware of that you are introducing me to and I genuinely appreciate you. I promise you that the content you have been posting has been great (I dunno what you were posting before of course) but I have really enjoyed the content I’ve been seeing from you since I subscribed to your channel. F all that noise, don’t listen to them, you are doing great 🥰
@@shelbeyandthebookclub thank you! I will definitely get it. I read Heavy by Kiese Laymon and had to take some breaks I'm not a big reader at all but try my best to slot it into my life
HI friend, I'm new to the TH-cam book world, and very pleased I found someone who reads books from African American writers. I would like to know, if possible, can you tell us how to find books festivals that cater to black authors in 2025.

And you’re right. It’s boring when someone reads the same as you and you’re not getting introduced to anything new
I need an unboxing and what not for that Color Soft. Also, please post journaling videos too!! I wanna see your process. Loving the vlog so far.
Unboxing will be in one of the vlogs!
