Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, & Advice for Living Your Best Life by Ali Wong

by Leave a Comment

I have always loved Ali Wong, so had been meaning to read Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, & Advice for Living Your Best Life for a while. Thus, I was delighted it was picked for my Mocha Girls Read book club in March. Semi-memoir, semi-humor, Dear Girls is a collection of hilarious letters to her young daughters for when they grow up. Wong talks about her upbringing, education, marriage, and of course her family. The audiobook is fantastic. This is a must if you’re […]

A Black Feminist Essay Party

Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible by Yomi Adegoke, Elizabeth Uviebinené

by Leave a Comment

Slay in Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible by Yomi Adegoke and Elizabeth Uviebinené explores how Black British women navigate the world. It explores Black feminism through a series of essay interviews rather than a guide to the Black female experience. It was more of an anthropological deep dive. The book is divided into themed topics with interviews from a variety of Black British female professionals. From education, careers, dating, and more, the authors discuss their personal stories and share statistics to inspire Black women. […]

YA POV of the LA riots

The Black Kids by Christina Hammonds Reed

by 1 Comment

And with this review of Christina Hammonds Reed’s The Black Kids, I made a bingo just under the wire. I received this for free from my Mocha Girls Read book club as it was our July sponsored book of the month. This YA historical novel is set against the backdrop of the 1992 LA riots. From the get, I was like is it really historical?! But I have to admit it has been some time since that fateful Rodney King verdict. Ashley Bennett lives in […]

Agatha Christie meets Groundhog Day

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

by Leave a Comment

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton was recommended/chosen by my Mocha Girls Read book club in May. I definitely heard the hype for his book in several book groups along with Cannonball Read. Thus, I’m reviewing it for the “Rec’d” bingo square. I was confused as to why they changed the US title to “7 1/2 Deaths” from the original “Seven Deaths”. Apparently, the publisher wanted to distinguish it from The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I […]

Black Girl Scientific Joy

Ada Twist, Scientist by Andrea Beaty

by 1 Comment

There are so many adorable kids’ books available these days. I often catch myself admiring the shelf and smiling when visiting the bookstore. I really love the concept behind the Questioneers series from Andrea Beaty. She does a great job spotlighting children from various cultures. Each book follows a child and their dream career, many of them in STEM. There are also accompanying activity books to introduce these careers and topics beyond the main book. Series Synopsis: The Questioneers series is a celebration of STEM, […]
