SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT!! Here we are, with another eclectic book selection for you all to add to your reading list. If you are a lover of language and scintillating prose, this is a book you will love. My 💭; This is a novel of beautiful language. The prose is other-worldly and I think the plot is rather loose, but when the writing is this beautiful, the looseness of plot is but a minor annoyance. Alissa is a troubled lady who finds her settled in 1920’s South Africa with her Englishman husband. When the Immorality Act is passed which basically outlaws relations between Whites and Natives, Alissa, husband and their two daughters realize that a change in place is a necessity. This prompts Alissa to initiate a horrid act, and leaves the reader with a big ? Later when some of her journals are found, we are let in on her state of mind, but nothing detailing the whys. The construction of great paragraphs and greater sentences aids the reader in overlooking the thinness of explanation. And just as you might begin to tire of such, the novel concludes, and you will sit mesmerized by the language you just experienced and sometime later may add a little disappointing note about plot. I can’t wait to read whatever is next. A beautiful writer she is. Thanks to Harpervia and Netgalley for an advanced DRC. Book is out and available wherever books are sold. #ownvoicesreviews #bookpusher #pushingbooksainteasy #scatterlings #harperviabooks #bookblogger #blackbibliophile #bookreview #bookrecommendation #readmorebooks #readology2023 #whodoesitbetter #bookstagram #bookstagrammer (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpIhx3ALY-W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

ATL’s brand of funk intentionally teetered on the line between the sacred & secular, un-afraid to blend the aesthetics of faith, trauma, and perseverance in vocal and instrumental performances. Therefore, ATL hip-hop artists had a multilayered challenge… the validation of what Imani Perry argues is a contemporary urban South, the creation of a ‘unique meeting ground of the traditional, the old and new, plus the ‘same old, same old.’ OutKast’s intentional disjuncture of their southerness from the space and time vacuums that often dictate how the South is understood shifts paradigms of modernity and urbanity to reflect the on-the-fringe narratives of southern blacks. OutKast pivots on the use of the South as a renewable source of cultural currency and agency for blacks. Still, it was not lost on them or their ATL-reared and -based producers Organized Noize, consisting of Rico Wade, Sleepy Brown, & Ray Murray, that they needed to demonstrate their awareness of hip-hop’s identity as an urban cultural expression that could be used to reflect their experiences in ATL. @redclayscholar Again, Dr. Gina Mae is telling it the best. OutKast brought a unique blend of the gospel to the funk to the verse and we were left with something uniquely southern. Something you can climb into your headphones and lay down with, all while feeling at home. If my series of posts on #ChroniclingStankonia has influenced you to do nothing else… Git up, git out, and #ReadReginaBradley. In due time there will be a full book review over on @dablackpositive, and I will share it here too. Also, I am looking forward to Dr. Bradley’s newest project, and I am sure I will feel just as seen as I did in the covers of Chronicling Stank. #LetsGrow #PositivelyBlackBooks #BlackAndSouthern #BlackBibliophile #ReadersAreLeaders #ReadMoreEveryday #Bookstagram #BlackBookstagrammer #AmReading #BlackLivesMatter #SupportBlackArt #HerstunReads #SouthernLiving #HipHop #RespectRap #OutKast #iRead #KaroSyrup #Karo #RedClayScholar #AlbanyStateUniversity Image description & credits in comments.

We are all reeling in learning of the passing of Michael K. Smith. Life is short man. We all have issues. We all deal with life differently. One thing I’m happy about though is this: “He was always confident with his relationship with God." "Every single time he came, he was humble," Pastor, Brandon K. Washington said. "He was a humble, gentle soul." One thing in life is certain: death. But if you have Jesus, you will be assured that life is everlasting in the Lord’s presence. Rest In Peace Michael K. Williams. 🕊 #blackbookstagram #maddblackreads #blackbibliophile #wellreadblackgirl #blackreaders #readingislit #goodreads #ireadya #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #becauseofblackreaders #booknerdigans #diversifybookstagram #readersofinstagram #fortheloveofreading #blackgirlsread #lovetoread #blackwomenread #blackandbookish #idratherbereading #blackbookblogger #becauseofreading #readblackauthors #goodblackreads #bookrecommendation #moodreader #readallthebooks #michaelkwilliams https://www.instagram.com/p/CTim1TWgVID/?utm_medium=tumblr

SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT!! Just returned yesterday from Cancun (a much needed vacation) and had a good week of reading. As I catch up on my reviews they will all be here in THE SPOTLIGHT! But today the light is on Someday, Maybe. In keeping with my core principle of honesty, I must say, this was a tough read for me. Emotionally. Mentally. Spiritually. Was difficult to find any joy, well the writing contained some beautiful sentences and paragraphs but the content, whoa. I wrote ✍🏾 Overwhelming. To say this is a grief filled novel is the ultimate understatement. The ability of this author to immerse the reader in grief over 350 pages is astonishing. I mean, whew. It just never stopped. It was unrelenting, to the point that you feel like you are experiencing grief along with the character. As a trigger warning, anyone who has dealt with the suicide of a loved one may want to steer clear. The four stars are for the beautiful paragraphs that offer temporary respite from the trauma that inherits page after page after page. At some point, I was begging for the end, the only relief coming when I knew I was near the finish line. A tough read. #ownvoicesreviews #bookstagram #pushingbooksainteasy #bookpusher #somedaymaybe #blackbooksmatter #blackbookstagram #bookreview #blackbibliophile #onyinwabineli #readmorebooks #readingismylife #booksaremylife #bookblogger #goodblackreads #makereadinglitagain #sundayspotlight #readreadread (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjfktaFrf6V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Our CEO/Founder, @IsisAsare, believes the best people are #Leos!! She could be biased since her sister is a Leo. But then again, children's author Angela Dalton, is a case in point. Angela has been a huge advocate of Sistah Scifi since day one, and even took the opportunity to rep us on her birthday post. Happy birthday, Angela. Also, shouting out another one of our favorite Leo's, @BrisBookish, one of the amazing leads of @B2Wierd and long-time collaborator! Tag you favorite Sistah Scifi Leo in the comments! Picture 1 Repost from @AngelaDalton_Author This is 50! I drew a tarot card to start the day: Page of Swords! Wild energy and relentless drive.

Yeeeesssssss. These are some of my favorite stories. My quickies but goodies. Mostly Afro-American or Black American fiction by authors like Sandra Kitt, Eric Jerome Dickey and Marcus Major. (Judy Blume and Friday Night Lights are randomly chilling too lol.) I love me a good RnB novel!!! Books have ALWAYS been the love of my life but I’ve not always been able to afford them. My mom and aunts have passed down hundreds of titles, and their fave genre? Romance, drama, and all that schnazz. So. Here I am. The owner of a ton of lovely #BlackFiction and I’d have it no other way. I am gonna leave the Eric and Sandra out for my kid to steal early. Lol. Talented storytellers they are. 😌😂😍🥰 These books are home. I may not need them for my project, but if I did ask questions of them it oils be, how did these authors imagine humanity for their characters? How did they bring them to life? What environments did they come alive in? What do they have in common and what sets them apart from fiction by authors that are not Black? #ThisBrowneGirlReads #WellReadBlackGirl #BlackBibliophile #Bookstagram #BookLover #BookGeek #BookNerd #BookTok #BookGirlMagic #SupportBlackArt #SupportBlackAuthors #AmReading #BlackLiterature #LiteraryFiction #Romance #BookStack (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CP7M_1ZrLu6/?utm_medium=tumblr

Artist Spotlight: Leroy Campbell “I had became very interested in the art of story-telling and was driven to find inspiring works that would guide my direction as an artist. During my childhood, I had always listened to the stories that my elders shared, and I learned about its importance in African American culture. I was inspired to find a way to incorporate what I learned into my art." Art credit: @leroycampbellart This artwork is part of The Fight Continues collection. #blackbookstagram #maddblackreads #blackbibliophile #wellreadblackgirl #blackreaders #readingislit #goodreads #ireadya #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #becauseofblackreaders #diversifybookstagram #readersofinstagram #fortheloveofreading #blackgirlsread #lovetoread #blackwomenread #blackandbookish #idratherbereading #blackbookblogger #becauseofreading #readblackauthors #goodblackreads #bookrecommendation #moodreader #readallthebooks #leroycampbellart https://www.instagram.com/p/CQe8GoDr5Ur/?utm_medium=tumblr
