Sweet Little Lies by Michele Grant
I am all about this book. Hands down, Sweet Little Lies is my favorite contemporary romance in ages. Michele Grant‘s natural dialogue more than made up for (minor) issues I had with the plot. Christina is the girl with everything… Read more »
Tell Me Something Good by Jamie Wesley

The Book of Negroes E2
In Episode 2 Aminata Diallo is all grown up and attracting the master’s notice. (It’s going to be difficult to be vague about this episode because it sets up the major relationship arcs for the whole series.) In E1 we… Read more »
The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill E1
As I’m still not reading I’ve been catching up on television. @ReignofApril was tweeting about B.E.T.’s adaptation of Lawrence Hill’s novel The Book of Negroes (published in America as Someone Knows My Name) so I set the TiVo. I remember… Read more »
