Black Coffee discussion

Hey Y’all!

It’s that time again!

October is around the corner so if you have a suggestion for the poll that would be great.

I look forward to hearing from you 🤓🤓

Mama Ruby- book 2 is my nomination

I would like to continue on with Mama Ruby, her younger years.

I would like to go back to Mama Ruby also. Mary Monroe can be addicting. I loved her God Don’t Like Ugly series too.

The First Ladies

Did you hear about kitty karr by Crystal Smith Paul.

@Maya: Ooh. That’s on my list too

Yes. I loved that series also and her Neighbors & Lexington, AL series are just unbelievable.

I haven’t read them yet, thanks for the recommendation!😎

“How to Say Babylon” by Safiya Sinclair

Thanks for this suggestion, which I'm adding to Want To Read.. The hardcover comes out 10/3/23..

Safiya Sinclair

Wild, Beautiful, and Free

This was another book I found

I have a lot going on IRL and will be backing away from GR for the most part. There is a huge new stressful situation that has come up that I need more energy to handle on top of everything else. I may pop in a few more times for Just as I Am since I've already read it. I'm not sure how long this will last.

Heyyyy, All

I've been thinking a book written by a Black male author, maybe a Memoir, Suspense/Thriller, Romantic Love, or Witty Fun read....

Maybe a November suggestion 😊

That sounds good to me 👍🏾

Hey y’all!

Well, there was a tie between three books so I created another poll.

The poll will close October 6th at 11:59pm PST.

Happy voting 🤓🤓

Wow! That is a first, okay - I voted 😎

Right but this month's suggestions seemed quite interesting so I can understand the tie.

I know most everyone wants Mama Ruby but there's another book on the poll that I would love to read with y'all much more than Ruby. Either way, I'll read the winner.

I chose Mama Ruby because I bought the book when I bought The Upper Room. So it was out of convenience, if we choose a different book, that’s fine. I will participate in whichever title we choose.

I agree with Angel. I will read what ever books wins the vote!

Welp there’s another tie lol

So we decided that we’re going to read both the books. I’m going to make two separate threads but they will have Oct/Nov so you can begin with which ever book you’d like to.

I’m going to create the threads later today.

Thanks for voting!! 🤓🤓

What two book won?

I got it - Did You Hear About Kitty Karr and Mama Ruby.

Alright! I’ll be reading them both.

The threads for Oct/Nov reads are posted.

I can't wait to start chatting about them. 🤓

You and me both 😎

Let the reading begin💖💖💖
