Jazzypom's
review of Can't Stop Loving You (Kimani Romance):
"Kaycee Jordan and Kendrick Thompson meet... over dog poop. Inauspicious beginning, sure but a quirk of fate throws them together and they start working side by side. As is wont to do in these types of books, passion grows but then is tested. The rela...more " | |||

review of Orange Mint and Honey: A Novel:
"Kudos to Ms. Brice for pulling on her hip boots and wading through the morass of destructive anger and painful recovery that is the mother/daughter, victim/survivor alcoholic angst ridden basis for this story. " | |||

review of Soul on Ice:
"Let me begin by saying that when I read this book, I was very young. A lot of what I learned with this reading, was admittedly violent and based in misogyny. But everything I learned here was so different from anything my parents, church, and schoo...more " | |||

thank you for the add and the comment about my avatar, it's the cover for my book Bid For Love thats coming out August 18 fromLyrical Press. I really like this place especially since I'm a bookaholic....Have a great evening...
Hey Shawnette,
Thank you for your sweet comment. The MPire is not your everyday sci-fi. It is more like a family saga peppered with paranormal, the way we do it! You will enjoy it.

Thanks for the comments. I will post my books shortly. I am an author so I wanted to fill the shelf mainly with my books. I am reading a few others and I did read lots of Eric Jerome Dickey and Michael Baisden, and a few others, I should post them. Good comment made me think (smile)
Anyway, how would I be able to get you to review one of my books????
by the way beautiful children.
hi Shawnette, thanks for your posting - yep, I don't have a big thing for romance novels, that's true, but I liked your mention of an interest in spirituality, and your support for African American lit, I agree completely. Looking forward to some interesting discussions! R
Hello from fellow a NJean!!! (I'm up in Atlantic Highlands, Coastal NJ on NY/Sandy Hook Harbor). Thanks for the add! Hope we get to chat from time to time!
Thank you for adding me to your friends list, Shawnette! I am getting some great recommendations from your reviews and am looking forward to reading them!
Hi Shawnette, your friendship is a pleasure... please do check out the new gripping novel, TUTUOBA, which is a better pageturner than any Harry Potter, while being very informative Afro-edutainment... however THE BLACKWORLD: EVOLUTION TO REVOLUTION is for a unique global perspective of the Black Race that is progressively empowering... nonetheless, please stay in touch...
One love but a million blessings,
Prince Justice
Thanks Shawnette, for the kind words. It is my pleasure to meet you, and i wish you peace and inspiration always.
Hello Shawnette, Thank you for the warm welcome. Thank you for coming past and leaving a comment. I'm also looking forward to sharing reviews, chats and all other activities that this great site has to offer! Be blessed sweetheart and enjoy your weekend!
Hi Shawnette,
I'm still learning my way around this site. Posted a comment to you a couple of weeks ago, but I think I posted it on my page and you probably didn't see it so...just wanted you to know that I'm thrilled to be here and look forward to sharing info on all our favorite books!
Blessings

One book I've been obsessing over recently is Luthiel's Song. If you have any obsessions of your own please do send them.
Wonderful to meet you as I can see you have fantastic taste...
thanks for accepting the invite and I look forward to sharing my books with you as well as my favorite reads...be blessed
Hi Shawnette,
Thanks for accepting my invite and leaving such a wonderful comment on my page. I look forward to keeping in touch with you. My book will be available in paperback on May 1st. I would love to get your feedback!
Sincerely,
Laura
Hi Shawnette, thanks for becoming a friend... I love your shelf... and like you, I look forward to our future book chats! :) Have a great week!
I'm in full agreement with your support of AA authors, and not strictly and selfishly because I happen to be an AA author, plus I read a ton of books (mostly fiction) by black authors as well. But I also happen to have a goofy sense of humor who for some reason gets a kick out of giving a shout out to French Canadians. This should be seen as no offense to anyone who happens to be FC, by the way.
Shawnette,
In response to your "About Me" Statement - "I am a strong supporter of african american authors. I just feel if we as a people don't support their effort to give us some reading entertainment and education, then who will!?", I believe that the only possible answer is the French Canadians. But I could be and probably am totally wrong about that? :-)
What a fantastic list you have! I promise to let you know if I run into any treasures so long as you promise to do the same.
Also, if you happen upon Luthiel's Song in your travels I'd love to hear your thoughts.
