So, what are you reading today? This book Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson surprised the heck out of me. From the cover I thought it was about a woman living on a plantation in slavery time. Which it was but there was more to the story then meets the eye. It was about a Pheby Brown a bi-racial women who grew up in slavery times but led a privileged life. Because her father was white, and he was in love with her mother his slave. The things that she had to go through the promises that were made and broken. The struggles and manipulations she had to endure was crazy.
But she was a smart woman and used what she had to get what she needed. This is one book that you cannot judge by its cover like I did because you would be wrong. It's a great story that will keep you reading all night long. 8 of 10 in good reads department for me.
Happy Reading
Happy Halloween. So what are you reading today? Here are some of my disappointments.(These are my opinions only) First lets start with the movie MA with Octavia Spencer who plays Sue Ann a middle aged women who has been wronged in high school. So she gets back at the children of her former high school classmates. She invites some teenager over to to her house to drink and party. She participates right along with them trying to live her high school years again. Until the crazy starts to happen on Sue Ann's part. Behind this story you see a disturbed women who had been embarrassed in high school and it damaged her has an adult. This movie had some cringe worth scenes in it. One is where Sue Ann kisses a teenager she had a crush on. I would give this movie 5 out of 10. Watch it you might enjoy it. I did love Sue Ann's hair style in the movie.
The book Luxury Tax by T Styles this is about a stick up man named Garrod and his neighbor Ginger who has lost her memory. Ginger is like a hood rat fighting and protecting her drug dealing boyfriend Milli at any cost. But Milli has so much stuff with him it's not funny. Garrod and Ginger are attracted to each other and because Ginger has no memory of what happen in her life at a certain time. The story gets crazy. The story was ok and crazy. I have read much better from this author. The thing I didn't like was in the end there were to many unanswered questions. The things that happen to Garrod's mother and Ginger's daughter by the hands of Milli which that was his daughter also was crazy to. This whole story was a disappointing to read. I give it 4 out of 10 in rating
I could be wrong on the book and movie. If you have watched or read either of these that I have talked about or any other books or movies. I am all ears would love to know what you have watched or read. Until then
Happy Reading

I don't care what they say sometimes the second time is not the charm. I have picked up Sparring Partners the book by John Grishman twice from the library and still can't get past the first story. This book has 3 not so short stories in it. But I can't get past the first one. I like Grisham's book but this one is not holding my interest. Even though he got great reviews about the book. Maybe it's just me. Some books are not for every reader.
Just seen the movie Dungeons and Dragons with Chris Pine it was good but 2 hours long. I guess it's bases off the game, I think. The story was good but at times it was hard to understand what they were saying. The monsters and wizards and various creatures were interesting with a lot of action.. It's a good family movie if you have the time. It's about a man who... Oh, heck just watch the movie it's hard to explain this one to you. So, what have you read or watched lately?
Happy Reading
So, what are you reading today? First, I can and can't for me. We will start with I can which is the movie The Next Three Days on Tubitv is good movie. With Russel Crowe in it. It's about a man whose wife has been accused of murdering her boss. The wife went to jail and the story is based on how the husband Russel Crowe goes to great lengths to get her out. It's suspenseful, entertaining and did I mention it was free best part about watching movies.
I can't is the book Pimp by IceBerg Slim the book is based on a boy that becames a pimp. It's about his life on the south side of Chicago in the 1930's and the reason why he became a pimp. He did some pretty crazy stuff back then and he saw some crazy stuff to. The book started off good, but the writing personally I couldn't understand it. Maybe it was the way they talked back then. It was almost like a foreign langue to me. If the book was written a different way, I would have enjoyed it. Because from what I did read it was pretty good. If you have read the book let me know what your thoughts are on it. I would really like to know maybe you can understand what's he saying better the I could.
Happy Reading
So what are you reading today? I have so much to share with you that's why I'm happy. Well, the main reason is that libraries make me excite. It's like a kid in a candy store where everything is free. Anyway, I got a chance to go to my Main library where they have everything. I loved it. I got so many books to read and movies to review. They even had their own movie theater section where they offered the lates in videos and music. I really wanted to spend the night there.
I get excited because I have so much to review book and movies wize for you. I hope that you have a book or movie that you would like to share if not that's ok. I have enough for the both of us. Stay tuned for my movie & book reviews
Oh well have a great weekend and happy reading.

So what are you reading this week? have some good ones for you today. First let's start with the Movie Devils Knot free on Tubitv. This is based on a true story it's about 3 kids that go missing in a small southern town. The town looks for them and they find them in a place they call Devils knot which is a forest like. After they find the kids dead in a small river. They pin the murders on these teenagers that the town didn't like anyway. It was a sad story of how kids got caught up in adult situations and the adults that were just as wrong as the kids. I did not expect it to be good. 8 out of 10 for me. Don't sleep on movies that might have been shown in the movies some of these movies you never heard of before are pretty good.
Now on to the It Starts With Us by Collen Hoover. She is a good writer I will give you that. This book is part 2 of It Ends with Us. Which I didn't read. But to read the book I am talking about you don't really need to read the first book in my opinion. This book gives you the basic story of the first book and then you can put two and two together to get the idea of what the first book was about. This book is basically about an abused women named Lilly who has the strength to leave her husband and have a life of her own. She runs into her first love ( Atlas)and they rekindle what they lost has teenagers. I like the way the author tells the story through the letters that they write to each other and through Lilly's diary. This is a heart warming tale of lost love strength , courage and the after effects of being in an abusive relationship. It's a fast read and a good one.
Happy Reading
Happy Friday. What are you reading or watching today? How about the movie Widows had a good cast in it Viola Davis was very good she was the leader of the group. It's about these women whose husbands are robbers, and they end up doing a job that kills them. The widows now owe money back to the person that their husbands stole it from. It was a good movie. The beginning was kind of slow but stick with it there are some good plot twists to it. Tubitv see it free.
The book The Quickie by James Patterson It was interesting It was also kind of stupid if you ask me. It's about this woman who has a quick affair with a co - worker because she wants to get back at her husband who she thinks is cheating on her. Then that's where the plots and twist come in . With her trying to protect her husband from a situation she saw him do. It's a crazy story but stick with it because in the ends you will be shocked at some of the things that go on in the book. The women I think is silly but that's just me.

Happy Sunday I am not sure if I talked about these to you so if I have, I am sorry but let's get to the movies first Takers has a good cast in it. It's about these guys who try and rob I think it's a money truck or bank not sure. But it's a good story. I happen to like bank robber stories. Don't know why. This movie Takers has it's up and downs, but you will not be disappointed. Good Saturday night Movie.
The book Boys From Biloxi by John Grisham I love his books this one not so much. It was to drawn out. Like he was looking for words to fill this book up with. It's about 2 friends who when they get older go their separate ways ones gets into the criminal world and the other into law. These guys come from a small seashore town that's it's represented by working class polish families. The 2 boys being one of them. I had to put this book down it was too long winded for me. But if you have read it maybe it's me. might be missing something. Let me know your thoughts on this book if you have read it Thanks.
Happy Reading

Happy Sunday well here the latest from me I read The Quickie By Patterson. I had this book in my library for a while and it was haunting me. Daring me to read it. You just don't know how many times I passed on this book until this week. I read it was o.k. The good parts start in the middle and the ending was a shocker. It's about a woman who cheats on her husband one time, because she thought he was cheating which he was in a sense. Anyway, the husband murders her onetime lover and that's when it gets interesting. Read it you might like it It's a crazy story. You might even say for her to be so smart the women she's stupid. Read it and let me know what you think.
The movie Poker Face was interesting it's about this guy who grew up with these friends. They all went their separate ways, But as friends they always played poker togetther. So there's this one last poker game. It's a very interesting story and sad. It's about truth, friendship and betrayal. It was good. Free on Tubitv
Well, that's it for me what have you been reading or watching. Let me know and

So what are you reading today? Me I was reading Sparring Partners by John Grisham. It a collection of 3 short stories. I was reading the first one. Then I got side tracked with other projects. Before you know it the 7 days was up and I had to return the book to the library. This is the reason why I don't take out 7 day books. I need 3 weeks and then some if the book is good. Now since I had to return the booked Or get fined for not bring it back. I have to wait until they take the book off the 7 day hold to finish reading it. That's why I had 7 days books. What about you? Oh, Once I finish reading it I will review it Like I always do.

Happy July. So, what are you reading for the 4th of July? Anything good, you know I want to know. They say everyone has a story to tell. Some good, bad and crazy. Have you every thought about writing a book. I mean an e book of stories that you have trapped in your head or about your own personal experiences. I found a website called Inkitt. The stories that some of these people write are so good. they should be in books. I will confess I only read the romance section among others.
Overall, these writers are good. I have to go back to wattspad to see what's s been going on with them. Since I have not visited for a while. But don't get me wrong writing is not easy, but it is fun. Why not give it a try as a hobby. You might like it.

I haven't heard from the library in about a month. Even though I ordered 3 books. I was in need of something to read. That's why I always say have a personal library of your own. For the books that you want to read. Put them a side for times like these when the library is taken longer than usual to get the books you ordered. I have been collecting books at yard sales, flea markets, thrift stores for about a year now. I only purchase books that are 50 cents to $1 and they have to be something that I want to read in the future. I also have been given books for free. My book stash is small about 20 books but they are only there for emergency reading only. Like now since the library has not called me. I miss my library. So, start a book stash today. It only takes a couple of dollars. When you finish the book then donate, sell it or give it to somebody else to read. That's what I would do.

So, what are you reading today? I have tried to read this book Mad Honey By Jennifer Boyland. But I just couldn't in certain parts it was good and other I kept saying what??? It's about a romance between two 18-year-olds who live with their single mother in New Hampshire. Something happens and all heck breaks lose. The story started off ok then it got confusing. This book was on the best sellers list. Maybe I am wrong. If you have read it please let me know what your thoughts are. Maybe it's just me. I could not get into this book. On to the next one

Hello Readers
I remember how good books use to be. Like this one from back in the day Chances by Jackie Collins" Now this book was goods. She introduced you to a guy named Gino who was a hot mess in a good way. He was a very bad bad boy and readers like me loved him. If you get a chance to read some of Jackie Collins older books like this one. You will not be sorry. I miss her writing and craziness that she gave readers like me. Rest In Peace Jackie.

Ok this is not a book it's a movie review. The movie GeoStorm you can get it free on TubiTv. It was a good movie if you like sci-fi and action. It's about this machine that's a net around the earth that controls natural disasters from happening. It breaks of course and all of a sudden flooding, hurricanes, lighting all kinds of disasters are going on all over the word. The guy who built it the government fired. Now they need him back to fit it. It's also about the relationship between two brothers. Good movie will hold your interest. Did I mention it was free.

Anyway, the book was kind of boring to me. I stopped reading after chapter 7. The interest for me was just not there. It lacked the gust, good story line and depth that the other Curtis black family drama books had. His family is crazy and boring at the sometime. I like the author but it's time to put the Black Family to rest. I know I have.

Another One bites the dust. The Locked Door By Freida McFadden was not as good as her other book about the maid that I read. I think I got up to chapter 2 and I was done. I could not get into this book. It's about a woman who's now a surgeon. She is haunted by her father who happen to be a serial killer. The father when you start reading is now in jail. But the killing of women are still taking place. Who's killing women now the same way her father use to kill them. when they labeled him the Handyman. The book got great reviews but I just could not get into to it. If you have read this book. Maybe I am missing something. Share your thoughts with me about this book or any books you have read.
