BK to Staten Island: My Jahquel J. Journey Begins

Finally diving into the world of Jahquel J. for the very first time! 📚 As a Brooklyn girl, I'm already so intrigued by A Staten Island Love Story! There’s something about that New York setting that just pulls you right in. ✨

I'm only a few chapters deep, but I can already tell this is going to be a wild ride. For my seasoned "cousins" out there, I've got a burning question for you:

Question of the Day: Jahquel J. is known for her 'book husbands.' I’m currently meeting the crew in A Staten Island Love Story—who is your ultimate number one man from the Jahquel J. universe and why? (No spoilers, please! 🤫)

Can't wait to hear your thoughts! 👇

Kindle or Palma…

Why choose? I love my Boox Palma just as much as I love my kindle. I didn’t have to choose one when I could have both. My kindle scribe is perfect for me while I’m in school to be able to take notes right in my textbook and highlight areas my professors deem important. I can also leisure read,
