I finally got to the latest Beverly Jenkins romance novel, Wild Rain. It was fabulous just like all of her books.

[Michelle]

I read Her Body and Other Parties which includes a lot of short stories. I liked some short stories and didn't enjoy some, but overall this book was not my favorite.

[Em]

I read Firekeeper’s Daughter!

[Erica]

I read Look, Black Boy by Caleb "The Negro Artist" Rainey. An eye-opening poetry collection where Rainey reflects on growing-up as a black boy in the midwest.
