October (2023) Group Read Suggestions

[Shaylah]

Hey Y’all!

It’s that time again!

October is around the corner so if you have a suggestion for the poll that would be great.

I look forward to hearing from you 🤓🤓

[Angel]

Mama Ruby- book 2 is my nomination

[Octavia]

I would like to continue on with Mama Ruby, her younger years.

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I would like to go back to Mama Ruby also. Mary Monroe can be addicting. I loved her God Don’t Like Ugly series too.

[Maya]

The First Ladies

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

Did you hear about kitty karr by Crystal Smith Paul.

[Lulu, The Book Reader who could.]

@Maya: Ooh. That’s on my list too

Yes. I loved that series also and her Neighbors & Lexington, AL series are just unbelievable.

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I haven’t read them yet, thanks for the recommendation!😎

“How to Say Babylon” by Safiya Sinclair

Safiya Sinclair

[Maya]

Wild, Beautiful, and Free

This was another book I found

[Karin]

I have a lot going on IRL and will be backing away from GR for the most part. There is a huge new stressful situation that has come up that I need more energy to handle on top of everything else. I may pop in a few more times for Just as I Am since I've already read it. I'm not sure how long this will last.

[MS. KYM]

Heyyyy, All

I've been thinking a book written by a Black male author, maybe a Memoir, Suspense/Thriller, Romantic Love, or Witty Fun read....

Maybe a November suggestion 😊

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

That sounds good to me 👍🏾

[Shaylah]

Hey y’all!

Well, there was a tie between three books so I created another poll.

The poll will close October 6th at 11:59pm PST.

Happy voting 🤓🤓

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

Wow! That is a first, okay - I voted 😎

[Shaylah]

Right but this month's suggestions seemed quite interesting so I can understand the tie.

I know most everyone wants Mama Ruby but there's another book on the poll that I would love to read with y'all much more than Ruby. Either way, I'll read the winner.

[Angel]

I chose Mama Ruby because I bought the book when I bought The Upper Room. So it was out of convenience, if we choose a different book, that’s fine. I will participate in whichever title we choose.

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I agree with Angel. I will read what ever books wins the vote!

[Shaylah]

Welp there’s another tie lol

So we decided that we’re going to read both the books. I’m going to make two separate threads but they will have Oct/Nov so you can begin with which ever book you’d like to.

I’m going to create the threads later today.

Thanks for voting!! 🤓🤓

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

What two book won?

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

I got it - Did You Hear About Kitty Karr and Mama Ruby.

Alright! I’ll be reading them both.

[Shaylah]

The threads for Oct/Nov reads are posted.

I can't wait to start chatting about them. 🤓

[Dosha (Bluestocking7)]

You and me both 😎

Let the reading begin💖💖💖
