Book Talk | Unsung Heroine by Sarah Kuhn

Format: eGalley (NetGalley)
Published: July 2, 2019
Series: Yes (Heroine Complex)
Genre: Fantasy, Paranormal, LGBT Romance
Available: BN | Amazon | Add it to Goodreads

Okay, this was cute and absolutely funny. Did I mention cute?

I haven't read any other books in the Ms. Kuhn's Heroine Complex series but reading Unsung Heroine has got me hella curious.

This is a novella in the series and follows personal trainer, jack-of-all-trades Lucy Valdez and her wife Rose Rorick. We get a prologue of our couple, then their backstory of how they came to be said couple. This is essentially what Unsung Heroine is about but add in a serious dose of karaoke, rogue demons who seemingly don't like singing....
and a cast of hilariously kooky characters.

Reading how Lucy who kinda-sorta fought her feelings for Rose was relate-able. Attempting to figure out if someone likes you just as much as you like them is nerve-wracking. But once you do find out they do like you JUST as much, now you hav…

My Top Five | Blogger Edition #1

Hey Babes!

Happy Monday and all of that. Today I would like to show some blogger love ❤.
I know and you know, it is the year of our lord 2019 but we still have some strides to go and with the current RWA Rita mess (they stay in some mess and will always have the eternal side eye)...

Anyhoo's as one of the ladies I highlighted below stated on Twitter "Yall looking for #blackromance but not following #blackbloggers" . This is a fact because how you want the tea but you're not putting in the right ingredients?

Now the ladies I've listed....review, talk, showcase a variety of things (books, lifestyle, movies...etc, etc) and have multiple platforms. As I've stated before, there is no one way to be black. We encompass and accomplish many things. These ladies...their blogs proves this.

Click on the their blog headers to be taken to their sites. Add a little color to your life 💖

Tuesday Jams #194

Today's post will be a bit sober with a bit of celebration. Today, the world lost another great. Rest In Peace, Mr. John Singleton. This family is sending yours love and light. May your path to Glory be as great as it was here on this Earth.

John Singleton will flash across your social media timeline as a man who who gave the world Boys N tha Hood. When that movie first hit in early 1991, no one was ready...definitely not this Country. It was raw, gritty....and it told the truth.

To this day, many will fantasize gang life, even our own. But they have no idea, none...the pain and eventually death. I didn't grow up with rainbows and glitter but I can tell you, I had no idea about tha boys AND girls in tha hood. I walked away from that move with plenty of emotions but....also glad I didn't live that life. Because as they say, I wasn't about "that life".

Mr. Singleton wasn't afraid to put 'US' out there...the good and the bad. He wasn't afraid to…

The "I Should Have Read That Book" Tag

Well babes, this is the second bookish related tag I've taken a part of here at Brazen Babe Reviews. Shout out to Tanya over at Motif by Tanya for tagging me (here's her POST). Also shout out to the creator of this lovely tag, Beth over at BooksNest.

So...yeah, let's get to this shall we?

Question 1: A book that a certain friend is always telling you to read. Hmmm....uhm....the only book I can think of is:

Friend: Sharonda...have you read?....
Me: No
Friend: Why not? Omg! it's so good!
Me: Cause...I...uhm...
Me: Ya'll, just let me read what I read when I read it. thank ya kindly.
Friend: 😡
Me: 😂

Question 2: A book that has been on your TBR forever and yet you still haven't picked it up. I mean we can go on and on about what is sitting on my TBR shelves *coughing* physical and eBooks. But who has time for questions...sir? ma'am? Anyhoo's, it's this one right here. And honestly, I'm not in a big rush. I'll get to it eventually

Question 3: A…

Book Talk | Know Your Place by Shelly Ellis

Author| Shelly Ellis
Series| The Branch Avenue Boys #2
Published| April 30, 2019
Genre| Fiction
Available: Amazon | BN | Add it to Goodreads

Hooonneeeyyy! This book! This book, I enjoyed it. It's been a while since I read a book that I talked through...like all the way through I talked, lols. Know Your Place had drama, drama and it's gritty. I was here for it all.

Know Your Place gives us the POVs of three friends Ricky, Jamal and Derrick whom all grew up together rough but have managed to be successful adults in their own right. But as we know life as an adult can be filled with good karma and...bad karma so when you add a drug king-pin, a crooked ass mayor, and three-way love affair? Whew Chile! I have to say though that some of the actions of our main players IMO where makings of their own because as I was reading, I kept saying now how he didn't see this mess coming? Because when you put yourself in certain situations, the outcome just isn't going to be good.
