The Fire Next Time By: James Baldwin Publish Date: 1963 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ‘I’m a writer. I like doing things alone.”- Baldwin, The Fire Next Time. This book is two essays which James wrote. The first one to his nephew, James, and the second one talking about the world around him and the people he met. I seen some people mention this was an memoir but that’s far off. Essay is a perfect name for it. But once again, James has done it again. He is constantly reminding me why he is my inspiration and why he is my favorite writer. After reading Malcom X’s book, Elijah Muhammad is someone who seems really sneaky. The way he and his people judged James for deciding not to follow any religious group. Ever too often, society tries to tell us that we need to be apart of something to be considered someone. But James defied that and that is what I loved. I would recommend this book once again. It’s an easy read and the words bled out so beautifully on the paper.

When We Were Birds 🦜 I’m considering the dead. The way their bodies leave this earth, but some souls stay tethered to it still. The way some are mourned and some never have the opportunity to be more mourned properly because their death is one unknown. The dead have a legacy in Morne Marie. A legacy controlled by women. Women like Yejide, Petronella,Geraldine and their ancestors who decided to hold on to their dead. They hold on as a reminder that they were here, they were seen, they were loved, and they are mourned. I’m considering love and the way it manifested itself between Yejide and Darwin. A lover that came before knowing their name, the sound of their voice, the feel of their skin upon yours. Of course magic is involved, but I believe that this one adheres to nature. Yejide is like a storm, a hurricane, a burgeoning tornado with the burden of the dead on her back. Darwin is like a beacon, a lone boating wading the waters through heavy rain without fear in his heart because he knows this hurricane means him no harm. A storm of Yejide’s making is one he will gladly stand in the midst of. I’m considering life and how vibrant it is even in a novel filled with death. A literary fiction weaved in a tale of magic realism—an ambitious combination that excels in driving the message home. Its only fault is perhaps its very slow build to a climax that may prohibit some readers from reaching a beautiful end to a story full of color. When We Were Birds is not meant to be rushed, but you have to trust Banwo as she paints this canvas. A canvas that when it dries, depicts the colors of life, love, the legacy of the dead, and the women keeping them alive.

Jahmal Mayfield gave us a crime thriller DEBUT novel that came with a little bit of everything. I will say, please check your trigger warnings (racism, sa, death) - If you’re looking for a story that captures the differences + reality of black and white worlds, read this. I’m not going to give an in depth review because it’s hard for me to do with this book for some reason, especially without giving any spoilers. I want everyone to see for themselves and come back with their thoughts on how they feel about this one. - NOW the winning question, would I recommend this if you’re a fan of SA Cosby?… short answer, yes. - Where we may look for authors similar to our favorites, we also have to keep in mind that this is an artistry where these authors and writers take time to build their craft and develop their specific style. - Doing this as a group read was necessary because we were able to talk about how he felt as we read and this book requires dialogue otherwise you’ll be pissed. Loved the group read interactions🫶🏾 - But I will say🫣I wish he didn’t leave us with a cliff hanger😭 with this being his first novel, he left us with our minds to wander about certain things and characters and some additional frustrations but again I don’t want to spoil it. - 🤔Do books with cliffhangers drastically affect your overall review? • • • #minibookreview #bookrec #booksuggestions #bookreview #booksbyblackauthors #bookstagram #blackbookstagram #blackauthors

✨ Mini Review ✨ 📖: “Blu” by @m.monique_theauthor 🎶: “Soldier” by Destiny’s Child Genre: Romance/AA Romance TW: Open Door Romance/Domestic V*olence Rating: MA Blu….I’m convinced that this MMC is who Beyoncé, Kelly and Michelle were singing about. He’s a soldier 👏🏾 fo 👏🏾 sho!! 😮‍💨 The way he committed and protected Coba at all cost was everything for me. Not in the “male toxic masculinity” kinda way (which y’all know I like too 😆) but in the genuine “if I say I got you, I GOT YOU!” kinda way. I love how the author not only explored his loving nature for his family and friends but that of all the male characters (minus the villains who only used the women in their lives for personal gratification and gain 😒). I want more of that in literature and especially AA romance. This one has its fair share of characters you’ll want to fight but not as the main theme which I appreciate. I really enjoyed this one! Shout out to @hopelessromancelit for the rec!! 😌🤌🏾🤌🏾 Synopsis: He’ll face anything that’s hurtin’ you, anything that’s causin’ you anguish and torment. He confronts allat sh** ‘cause his queen’s mind is valuable. Can’t just anybody or anything keep space there. So, he handles whatever and whoever he needs to, in order to ease her mind, and bring her peace. Let me do that for you. #strongcoffee #review #books #booktok #bookstagram #bookish #reviews #bookreview #fiction #mystery #murdermystery #blackgirlsread #blackgirlsreadtoo #blacklove #blackromance #blackauthors #urbanfiction #representationmatters #representationinliterature #betteroffread #bibliophile #litlife #wordaddict

Celebrating the legendary @jackiekaypoet 🎉 A renowned Black British voice and poet. Jackie Kay is a celebrated author of fiction, poems, and plays, whose intricate exploration of identity issues has been shaped by her personal experiences. Born in Edinburgh to a Scottish mother and a Nigerian father, she was adopted as an infant by a Caucasian couple. Kay's recognition of her diverse ancestral roots inspired her debut poetry collection, "The Adoption Papers," which poetically reenacted her journey through the voices of three distinct narrators: an adoptive mother, a biological mother, and a daughter. This groundbreaking work achieved remarkable acclaim, earning the Scottish Arts Council's Book of the Year award and a commendation from the Forward Poetry Prize jury. Currently, Kay holds the position of Professor of Creative Writing at Newcastle University and resides in the city of Manchester. Her latest collection 'May Day' was published this month, April 2024 #JackieKay #BlackBritishBookFestival #ChildrenBooks #BlackWriter #Nigerian #African #Literature #readers #nonfiction #novel #InspiringReads #bookfestival #blackbooks #blackbookstagram #booklover #bookstagram #birminghamuk #panmacmillan #blackauthors #blackauthorsmatter #publishing #blackwriters

If you don’t agree with someone, can you still respect them? What about when your friends believe they lack self-awareness or accountability? Can you separate the person from their persona or how they are commonly perceived? Say less, let’s start at the source Check out “Small Doses: Potent Truths for Everyday Use” by Amanda Seales In this 2019 title, this collection of witty essays, life advice, and nuggets of wisdom is a must read. This volume of essays, axioms, original illustrations, and photos provides Seales’s trademark “self-help from the hip” style of commentary— fueled by ideology formed from her own victories, struggles, research, mistakes, risks, and pay-offs is immeasurable.

The author Kim Coleman Foote described this book as a biomythography where she used her family’s history to tell a fictional story about two families using different viewpoints from several characters. The themes in the book were harsh but highlighted the ways in which trauma affects multiple generations. It was well written and one of my favorite books this month #kimcolemanfoote #colemanhill #blackauthors #blackbooks

Last night I had the pleasure of hearing the inspiring @mikaelaloach talk with the brilliant @jeremycorbyn about her new book ‘It’s Not That Radical’, which is all about climate justice. It was absolutely fascinating to hear two such passionate, knowledgable and proactive individuals discuss so fervently, in a way I could actually understand. What a treat to hear Mr Corbyn read a poem from his anthology ‘Poems for the Many’ too, with all royalties from sales going to his Peace and Justice Project 🌎 Between what I heard last night and my quick perusal of both of these books, I am genuinely so looking forward to reading them 📚 A huge thank you to @afroribooks and @brightbookfest for hosting this event that I am so grateful and privileged to have been able to attend 💛

⭐️Book Review⭐️ Wake Me When I’m Gone by Odafe Atogun Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/ 5 stars. I got this book almost a year ago because of its beautiful cover and since then, it’s been on my shelf. @bene.reads talked about how she enjoyed reading it on her Instagram story and I decided to bump it up my tbr list. When I finally picked it up, I read all 200+ pages in one sitting. I was so intrigued and couldn’t drop it until I got to the last page!😍. Also, peep one of my favorite bookmarks 🥰. Wake Me When I’m Gone chronicles the life of Ese and all she had to endure because she refused to be a slave to a system that was hell-bent on marginalizing her and other people in her town. From being disowned by her parents because she refused to get married to the chief of her village and got married to a man she loved instead, to forcefully taking her son away from her because she refused to remarry after her husband’s death. Ese was constantly ridiculed by the villagers. It was so sad to see that even though this is fiction, it was and is still the reality of so many women. This book reads like the plot of a Nollywood movie but just like reading a romance novel even though you can already guess the ending because of the comfort it brings you; I enjoyed how familiar the plot felt. I really love the pacing of the plot of this book. This made it very easy to breeze through. I’d recommend this as a book to get anyone out of a reading slump! I read it halfway through my exams (don’t judge me🙈). With this book, Odafe treats very sensitive subject matters such as the inhuman treatment of widows, abuse, and neglect of orphans, and the dangers of silence in the face of oppression. Ultimately, Ese’s story is a reminder for people to always speak up against injustice and corruption, even when their voice shakes. I hope we always remember that one more voice will make a whole world of difference 🙏.

Got some book mail today 🥰🥰 I loved Lizards Hold The Sun by Dani Trujillo so much-I read it as an ebook but obviously needed a physical copy. I’m also so excited to her newest book, When Stars Have Teeth. Have you read either of her books?
