Welcome to Litsy!

Getting back into historical romance, so I joined a book club. #historicalromance #beverlyjenkins #historicalhellions

Cheesy? In some parts. Predictable? Yes. Unrealistic? Maybe, somethings I think could be harder for Vivid at that time. But I really enjoyed this historical romance set in 1876. I appreciate the historical events mentioned in the story. Vivid is a character inspired by Maria W. Stewart and Mary Shadd, “...who uplifted not only the race but the nation as well”. You will love Vivid, an assertive woman and also will love her family. 3.8⭐️

This was my first Beverly Jenkins book and I found that I really enjoyed this historical Black romance. I will have to check out more of Her books. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

I collect coffee mugs, preferably blinged out mugs.
Right now I love Cocoa Bombs. Coffee and tea.
My favorite artist is Brandy.
If I could have lunch with any black celebrity I would choose Will Smith or Angela Bassett.

I took this picture last week as I was cleaning my sunglasses while listening to Vivid. I loved this book. Predictable at times, but educational.

1. Vivid by Beverly Jenkins 2. Garter Snakes 3. Making, but repurposing is my favorite. I make crafts. Wreaths are my favorite to make. I love taking old, beat up furniture and giving it new life. I even reuse it unconventional ways.

I really enjoyed the mix of historical insight and the romance in this novel. Vivid is a strong female - a POC female doctor in the late 1800s, which shows how strong she truly is - who falls for a well known gentleman in town. Jenkins sets her characters with back stories related to pieces of true history - the massacre at Fort Pillow (US Civil War battle) and prominent black politicians, for example - with a good fictional story.

This was a nice quick read. Beverly has a nice formula and I love the black history peppered through the novel. I always walk away learning something new. #blistyhistorymonth

I love me some Beverly Jenkins! Her heroines are always strong and interesting and I love the history lesson in her novels. This is set at the start of Jim Crow laws and when African Americans started questioning if they should continue supporting the Republican party. #blitsyhistorymonth
