Harlem Nights and Footstep Blues by Julius Jamaal Mclean
Wow !! This book of poems was EVERYTHING . Being a poet myself , I can surely appreciate the love , experience and choose of words to paint such beautiful art . I got chills reading these poems , thinking " dang , this guy really is awesome ."
� My favorite poems , if I may ... because they ' re all amazing . But I have a few that kind of pulled me in :
� Mother Nellie ... I wished she was my grandmother . She seemed wise and the coolest most understanding woman to know .
� My Lucky Girl ... I ' m like " where ' s my lucky guy ?" Lol
� She ... Her !! Them . Never we . I loved this creation . It was so delicate .
I highly recommend this book to all upcoming and current poets . Also to readers alike .
The grammar and spelling were so on point , not one mistake in sight . The poems flowed exceptionally , and I could imagine someone reciting one to me . If you love crazy wordplay , awesome synonyms , and highly visual words , pick up this book and read . Then share . You ' ll be surprised to see someone ' s reaction if you presented this amazing book as a gift . Go Julius !
College Life 102 : Social Learning by J . B . Vample
This second installment to the series was such a great book . It was full of excitement , lies , crushes , and college pranks . The editing of the story was superb . No errors in sight , and that feat alone isn ' t conquered by every author . The cover of the book was cute and flashy . The cover actually details the book . It fits perfectly .
The characters were introduced well . Although readers will pretty much know everyone , they added on a few extra characters . These new characters were introduced in part one , but they got action in part two . However , the author still gave details just in case you didn ' t read both . The plot was very well written . I loved how the author threw some spice in it to make it different from part one .
This book was really funny . The jokes will have you in tears . The book flowed very well . It was easy to keep up with . I was hanging on to every word . I loved how the author merged these groups of kids together . They were all different but yet they made it work . The author ' s series will help kids and parents understand what it is like to go to college and fit in . She put this story together very well . I would recommend this book to all readers
Lovin ’ the Enemy by Imani
This was the first book in a while that had me on the edge of my seat . The characters were very believable and a few characters actually reminded me of my own relatives . This book was a great length and I felt like it held my attention the whole time . The story kept at a perfect pace the entire two hundred pages of the book .
The cover of the book is a huge thing for me and if it can ’ t hold or grab my attention , I will keep looking elsewhere . This cover held my attention as soon as I saw it . There was something about it that screamed mystery . I personally enjoyed the rawness of the writing and the authors ability to make you feel like you were in the moment with the characters .
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good urban story that has family drama , lies , secrets and sex . I will be grabbing part two very soon so that I could finish this story . Imani is an author that will be making a name for herself very soon . I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did . Awesome job !
