[Natasha]

Hello, I'm Tasha from Pittsburgh, PA. I hate to read! Lol just wanted to be different ;-)... I LOVE READING!! And I agree with Ashley, I wish I could read for a living that would be my dream job, as long as it provided a comfortable lifestyle. I work full time, have a child and boyfriend who make it a little difficult for me to get much hands on reading done so I gotta squeeze it in when I can. That's why audiobooks are my friend!

I enjoyed browsing your website. Me and my brother liked that you included Stuart Scott. He was a close friend of his and I knew him through my brother. Hope you keep abreast of the movie 'the big payback.' that sounds interesting. I love me some Patrica R.back in the day. wonder what she is up to now?

Love the Daniel Fast! This year I kicked it up a notch with a 10 day smoothie detox. I think Daniel Fast is next on my list.

I'm Ashley. I'm a librarian and aspiring writer in Maryland. I don't read as much African American fiction as I used to so I'm trying to use the challenge as a way to get caught up.

Hi, I'm Me'Tova. I'm from Monroe, Louisiana and I am System Analyst in a hospital IT Department. I have two little girls, ages 16 and 8. I absolutely, without a doubt, love reading. In my spare time I read. I read everywhere I go, and I do mean everywhere! My idea of a relaxing day is being curled up by the fireplace or in a hot tub of water a glass of win and a good book in hand.

Hi, I'm Glenda. I live in High Point, NC (@Shavonna - Hey neighbor!). I was a late bloomer when it comes to reading. I started reading in college and now it is my favorite thing to do. The first book I read was The Color Purple and I was so proud of myself because I read the whole book in one day.
