Whew!!! I said I wasn’t going to read anymore books by the same author back to back, but I got caught up. Now I’m on a third book. DJM! Anyhoo…Carl Weber’s book following The Preacher’s Son was a train wreck! No…the book was great, but the characters were a mess! The title of the book, The First Lady says it all! Maybe you’ve never witnessed it… but picture a church, with a prominent Pastor, Bishop. Minister, etc. and a million women desperate for the affection and attention of the leader! Some people may call it “Attention-whoring” — because we know everybody’s motive is not genuine — Just sayin’! We ALL have probably witnessed similar scenarios or know of someone who has at some point or another, especially in the black church. The lengths that women will go to gain the heart or wallet of someone in a high position. This book will create a picture perfect reality. I do applaud any “First Lady”…because I’m sure it’s a big responsibility. Real life issues, vices and challenges that many people deal with in everyday life will also unfold. It was really a good read. I’m looking forward to reading more of his work. Check it out!

Happy reading and have a great weekend!

Reading & Relaxation | The Preacher’s Son

Reading & Relaxation | The Preacher’s Son

I finally got around to reading the work of author, Carl Weber, for the first time and I was impressed! I have been hearing about his work from a few friends of mine for a while. I came across some of his NOOK books on sale and decided to give them a try.

The Preacher’s Son was explosive in every way! It dropped bombshell after bombshell. The timeline of a highly esteemed Bishop at the center of an African-American church along with his family — tests of faith, dealing with temptations in various forms, all while dealing with the realities of life. I was able to relate to almost every single character in this book in some form or another. You know how it goes, we all know “that” somebody.

I don’t want to tell too much and spoil it, but it is definitely worth reading. I’m now reading the second part to this book, The First Lady. I can’t wait to see how this story will unfold. If you decide to read it or have read it let me know what you think!

Have a fabulous Friday and an awesome weekend!

Reading & Relaxation | Yesterday’s Lies

Reading & Relaxation | Yesterday’s Lies

“Yesterday’s Lies” by Terri D. — WOW is all I can say! I’m so excited that I decided to purchase this (NOOK) book. It was my first time hearing of this author, Terri D. When I kept seeing this book showing up in my timeline on Twitter, so I knew I had to check it out. I loved the title and hoped this was going to be a juicy one! I read what the book was about and I was instantly intrigued. From the moment I read the first page, I didn’t want to put the book down! I read it in less than 24 hours.

I love the way the chapters are broken down! It is so easy to get into the mind of each character and play them out like a mini-movie in your head. I can’t wait to get together with friends so we can have a Tweet Chat discussion on it. I’m so looking forward to reading more work from Terri D! This is an EXCELLENT read, so much so, I have recommended all of my friends to purchase it. It’s available on paperback as well as Kindle and Nook.

This book is perfect for a reading and relaxation weekend. Get it while the price is good! If you get a chance to read it, let me know what you think!

Have a lovely weekend!!!

My NOOK Held Me Hostage

Posted on by
My NOOK Held Me Hostage

Me & my NOOK had an awesome weekend of reading! I actually didn’t think I was going to get so much done with starting holiday decorations, running errands, etc. I’ve never been a big reader, except for “Sweet Valley High” back in the day and of course school work. That was until I got my NOOK. It has helped me enjoy reading again.

I was so happy to finally get started with a few books from one of my favorite authors, Kimberla Lawson Roby. You will be able to relate to her books one way or another.  I’m almost afraid to admit I may be a junkie when it comes to her books. The first one I read by her was, “Behind Closed Doors” <——– AWESOME…and a few months ago I read her newest book “Secret Obsession” which is OTC! You can find it here.  

I try to spread out my authors, but ummm…it didn’t happen like that and I ended up reading two of her books back to back. lol They both will have you so engaged and you won’t have a chance to put it down, because you’ll be turning the pages until the end.

This book is probably one of the best books I’ve read to date. It kept me on the edge of my seat and I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I don’t want to spoil the it by giving names/scenarios of the characters, but just know when you read it, you will not want to put it down!

“A Deep Dark Secret” is a MUST read, especially for parents or those desiring to be. It discusses things that go unnoticed and often ignored in the lives of many families or those close to us. Check them out and some of her other work!

Have a Terrific Tuesday and a Wonderful Week!
