I laughed out loud a lot so Mindy‘s book did not disappoint. Somewhat of a memoir, Mindy captured the fly on the wall effect while reading. I just love to be a fly on the wall. Great read

What an amazing read. David captures the underdog reaching for the top narrative perfectly. So many lows and then the highs come flooding in. I found myself literally rooting for him in this memoir. An inspiring and invigorating read.

An American Marriage | Tayari Jones

A beautiful tale. I enjoyed it. The story of Roy and Celestial kept me engrossed! I especially enjoyed the fact that the author highlighted each characters perspective. A very smooth story in which the words seems to dance from the page to my heart.

I couldn‘t finish it. Quite a boring story from Mr. Biden. I couldn‘t stay into it. It focused on his family and I saw where he was going but... I just couldn‘t stick with it

The title could be misleading as not much about Taraji Henson is “around the way”. Actually a pretty good girl with a interesting story of overcoming a tricky childhood to follow her passion as an actress. Interesting read

This was an amazing read! Trevor Noah does a phenomenal job of telling the story of his life growing up in Africa. I absolutely loved it!

The Last Black Unicorn | Tiffany Haddish

Well I got where she was trying to go with the book. It was funny but all over the place in some spots. I love to read memoirs but this one wasn‘t the best. Some funny stories but the book was hard to follow.

DrexEdit I like Tiffany Haddish quite a lot as a comedian. Maybe writing books just isn't her thing. 🤔 6y
TGJ I agree @DrexEdit! She is so funny as a stand up comedian and even on the silver screen! I really enjoy her every time! The book just jumped around a bit 6y

We read Strong is the New Pretty, to our 1 year old daughter from time to time. One night we woke up to her like this. She‘d gotten the book off the shelf in the middle of the night and fallen asleep with it! I was a proud mama #bedtimestories

Well, read this again a few days ago and realized how much I missed reading this as a kid! Wow! A great literary work!

Sills I am trying to catch up on a few classics every summer and need to add this to my list👍 6y
TGJ I hear you! I do too! It‘s amazing what you find new in the book at various ages in life. I remember thinking “I was not mature enough to fully appreciate this!” Lol 6y

Rabbit: The Autobiography of Ms. Pat | Patricia Williams, Jeannine Amber

Wow! It was awesome! Such a real story, such courage in vulnerability, such comedy in a tragic situation. I loved the dark sarcasm. It was a good read and story of a young African American‘s girl story of starting from the gutter and making her way in this world. #NoExcuses!!

Surprisingly good read. Had a conversation flow and gave deep insights into the light of Gabrielle Union and a man vs self conflict. Some parts were under developed but overall a decent read
