Hi, I want to let you know that the romance novel Young Again filled with music and love and co-authored by Valerie McKee and me will have an Advance Reading Copy giveaway starting on Feb 2nd.

I'm reading Modern African Prose- an anthology of African Writers- by Richard Rive. The book is on my list- and was published in 1964
Heeeey Kamara, welcome to the group! 👋🏼 Right now I'm reading The Next Best Thing by Natasha Anders. I'm really enjoying it!
I hear you Chauna-lea, many aren't really active on here. But I'm enjoying connecting with those who are.
I'm reading The Union by Leah Vernon...it's very different

a sci-fi dystopia future where black people are in power and now enslaved whites... it makes me uncomfortable. they are "ruling" just as bad as when we were enslaved. some colorism in play as well (darker skin equals higher power)
a lot of plot holes hard to get a good sense of what the author trying to say.
Ah I completely understand. Yea... that's not something I'd enjoy either.

Hi Kamahra,
I read The Union also and I didn't like it. I thought it was going to be good because it was about Black people in rulership, that's what drew me in.
It didn't blow me away in the slightest, it turned out to be a rather typical role reversal story.
