Currently reading: “Telephone” by Percival Everett
Started “All the Sinners Bleed” today by S.A. Cosby today. I was a fan from Book 1, but the complexity and depth of his writing with each subsequent book gets better and better #BookSkyb#BlackBookSky

Currently reading “Jurassic Park.” As I read I’m reading the book in the character’s voice from the movie. Does this happen to anybody else or is just me? #BookSky

I will always say that “Creed III” is the best boxing scene in cinematic history.

One of the best ways to disrespect me is to waste my time, especially on a weekend when I could be resting.

So I just joined Fable this morning after joining StoryGraph yesterday. It’ll be interesting to see which I like better. #Booksky #BlackBooksky

This week I was trying to read two books at the same time. Today, I couldn’t rise up to the challenge. Just too many things going on today. Oh well, life happens.

To all the book readers out there, if you use an app to track your reading, what app(s) are you using? I’m currently using @beanstack.bsky.social #Booksky #BlackBookSky

Been catching up on S7 of #BlackMirror. This is the best season from start-to-finish in the franchise.

I literally asked you a question so I could make plans around your answer. So when you say “nothing” to me that means “nothing.” Don’t come back later asking me to drive you somewhere. #Parenting

Don’t mind me, I’m just spinning out of control losing my ish. So please, keep peppering me with questions as I try and get my 💩 together.

@minakimes.bsky.social really said “I don’t think the Broncos have the horses against the Eagles secondary” on the @domoniquefoxworth.bsky.social show today and nobody seemed to catch it.

Finished “Vineland” by Thomas Pynchon. Very interesting book. Well written. Though challenging to follow at times. #Booksky 📖

Halfway through S.A. Cosby’s “My Darkest Prayer.” This book quickly drew in with the way he writes his characters. So much depth built into the characters and the plot but still moves quickly and fluidly. #Blackbooksky 📚 #Booksky📚

@shunnyreads.bsky.social how have you enjoyed reading S.A. Cosby? I heard about him last week on a podcast. Just got his first book today, “My Darkest Prayer” to read.

I’m constantly blown away by N. K. Jemisin’s writing. Just finished Book 1 of her The Broken Earth Trilogy, “The Fifth Season.” Mind blown 🤯 by the way the story and characters came together. Can wait to start Book 2, “The Obelisk Gate” later today. #Blackbooksky📚 #Booksky📚

Read “My Dear Henry: A Jekyll and Hyde Remix” this week. It is a remarkable retelling of the original but with the men meeting earlier in school among other variances. Definitely worth the read. #Booksky 📖 #Blackbooksky📖

“The Warmth of Other Suns” is an amazing look at the Great Migration. Wish I hadn’t waited so long to get it off my TBR List. Also, glad I read it after “Driving While Back.” #BlackBooksky #Booksky

Started reading “Washington Black” this week. The book has taken a highly different turn than I expected after the first two chapters. But I’m enjoying it ‘cause it is keeping my guessing. Highly recommend it. #Blackbooksky 📚 #Booksky📚

“A History of the African-American People (Proposed) by Strom Thurmond” by James Percival and James Kincaid is the funniest book I have read since “Catch-22” #Booksky 📚 #Blackbooksky 📚

Percival Everett is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I just finished “Erasure” today. I love the way he puts you in the role of the main character as you’re reading. #Blackbooksky 📚 #Booksky📚

How did we get here? you ask:
Remember there is a generation of people who didn’t go to school for 8 years because of Brown v Board of Education. States literally shut down public schools instead of integrating.

Starting “Runs in the Family” by @sarahspain.com today. This is an amazing story and after today’s proceedings, the mental pick me up I need and deserve. #Booksky
