My pass, present, and future reads

“Perfect Peace” took me on an emotional roller coaster ride that I was not expecting! Definitely a must read!

“Black Af History” is my February read. Hoping to gain better knowledge of African American history pass what is taught in the school curriculum. ✊🏾

“This Could Be Us” is the second installment to “Before I Let Go”. If you have not read that book, I highly recommend that you do. Second installment comes out in March and I cannot wait! 😆

... Read moreIn this article, I discuss books that have greatly impacted my reading journey. 'Perfect Peace' offers an emotional depth that engages readers on a rollercoaster of feelings. 'Black Af History' is my choice for February, enriching my understanding of African American history beyond typical schooling, helping highlight the importance of diverse narratives. Additionally, look forward to the upcoming release of 'This Could Be Us,' the sequel to 'Before I Let Go,' which promises to continue the riveting story that captivated many. With various genres and themes covered, from historical insights to emotional sagas, readers are encouraged to explore these titles for a fulfilling literary experience.
