Back In the day Books

                                        Hello, My Book Readers and Movie Watchers.

If you need a dose of reality or a good cry, then read one of Donald Goines books. In his book Inner City Hoodlum it is about three teenage boys trying to survive the best way they know how. Without the help of adult supervision, they rob train cars to make a living. In the process of that they have to deal with protecting a younger sister from the hands of a pimp and numbers runner, trying not to get caught and go to jail, and all the other frustrations and challenges from being young and on your own. Donald Gones has a way of writing about the lives of young people that's gritty realistic and pulls at your heart. I loved reading his books. I used to read them when I was in high school, they will make you laugh or cry or do both. The characters are well-developed, and the story is a quick read that will pull you in from the first page. Don't sleep on Donald Goines books they are just that good. After I finish one of his book I always say Damn you Donald for making me cry once again.

Love My Drama Books

                                            Hello, My Book Readers and Movie Watchers 

What are you reading today? Since I read a lot of monster/stalker romance books. Sometimes I need to read some good drama to go with it.  When A N Catches Feelings by Jessica Watkins. This book has so much drama, I read it in two days. It's about, two best friends, Heaven and  Treasure, who end up with hood guys.  Heaven meets Ross, an older street hustler in the game. She feels he's her protector and has taken her away from a horrible life. So she stays loyal to him even though he does some crazy stuff to her.  She takes a lot of stuff from him all to keep a roof over her head, her sisters, and her daughter that she had when she was younger. Then you have Treasure and Vegas who have their own problems. Treasure is young and wants her cake and eat it while Vegas is a good guy who treats Treasure like a queen.  Their story is about you don't know how good you got it until you lose it theory.  I loved me some Vegas in this story.  Don't forget to get Part Two When the side N Catches Feeling part 2  By Jessica Watkins because he ending to this story is explosive and well deserved. There are more characters to add to the couple's mix, which makes this story so good and will keep you reading to the wee hours of the morning just to finish it. 

Good job Jessica Watkins, you gave me just what I needed, enough drama to satisfy me- Thank you.

                                                       Happy Reading

Not Good

                                                     Hello, My Readers & Movie Watchers

Happy belated Valentine's Day. I tried to read Country Boy by Allen Little, but can I tell you I couldn't get past page five? It made no sense. First, it was about this guy named Q and how all these women want in and how picky he is. In the book, he wants the women who are with him to prove their loyalty to him.  It's about hood love, jealousy, and friendship/ But I just couldn't get past the first few pages. Maybe you can if you have read it let me know your thoughts. It had good reviews on amazon that's why I even thought about reading it.

                                                                  Happy Reading

Not For Me

                                               Hello, My Readers and Movie Watchers.

I just couldn't get into the book Burning Season By KiKi Swinson. It was too silly and the plot made no sense to me. It was about Virginia volunteer fire fighters Alayna and her brother Alonzo They are very close and work for the Virginia Beach fire department.  They both do some shady stuff to make extra money. Besides Alayna slept with a married firefighter. This story just wasn't it for me. The character development was good, but the story plot was not to my liking. There is suspense and craziness you might like. I think if I read 5 chapters in this book it was a lot. If you have read it, then let me know what you think. I have read some of her other books and they were pretty good. this one is not so much.

                                                           Happy Reading

Putting it Down

                                                     Hello, My Readers and Movie Watchers

 Well, what are you reading today? When My Soul Met a Thug by Jessica Watkins. I just couldn't read it. It's about?? It's about a woman named True she married to what she thought was the right man good job, loving caring, family kind of man but that wasn't the case.   They have a daughter together. He ends up leaving her because he felt he was tricked into marrying her in the first place. True goes on to live her life since she was about 25 after her divorce doing things like enjoying men. That she didn't get to do because she married young. She meets a street hustler, Coop, and they have a back-and-forth kind of relationship. Coop is a hot mess thinking he's god's gift to women and treats them like that.  There is a mystery around True I think she is sick in some way the story kind of beats around with that part. This book I just couldn't get into for some reason. It didn't hold my interest for long too many what the hell for me and not in a good way. Now I love Jessica Watkins other books but this one not so much.

                                                                 Happy Reading

Good Book

                                                  Hello My Readers & Movie Watchers

It's cold, snowy and time to read some good books. Here's one that I recommend, well really two that are good reads for the winter. The Cause & Cure Is You Book 1&2 . by  Jessica Watkins ( good author by the way) It's about an unlikely romance that cannot happen with a touch of paranormal in the mix, The characters are funny and well-developed.  This book will make you laugh, talk to it out loud, and root for the couple. It's good but you have to read both because where one ends the other begins. This is more than just your average urban fiction it's a true love story with unbeatable circumstances for the two individuals involved. ( You probably can get these at your local library)

                                                            Happy Reading
