Currently in Crescent Falls with Charity Shane's books and I'm loving it here.
I didn't expect "She's Elite Cutz" to be such a heavy read with issues like abusive relationships and addiction, but the characters' growth from chapter to chapter has been incredible. #BlackBookSky

I only really use StoryGraph to track my reading behavior.
Last year, I read 118 books, 22,184 pages, and I listened to 156.67 hours of audiobooks. My top authors were Kimberly Brown, Nina High, and Miss J. I can confidently say that if a Black woman writes it, then Imma read it. #BlackBookSky

I finished the month strong. I read 15 books. I'm so proud of myself.
My favorite book of the month was "A Church Girl's Guide to Courting Danger" by Brittney True - it's a genre bending Christian romantic suspense. Soooo good.

I just finished "Deuce (The Dillinger Chronicles Book 1)" by Kimberly Brown and it is *superb.* Such a well-written, engaging and fast-paced urban romance. I highly recommend it.
Kimberly Brown is one of my favorite romance writers and she gets better with every release. #BlackBookSky

Kimberly Brown's book has me in a chokehold.
Currently Reading:
"Deuce" by Kimberly Brown...I'm gonna switch to audio because Myles Washington is narrating and he is amazing.
"Love, At Christmas" by Nina High - she's my favorite "new to me" author this year.
