There is a need to change the list on the right side of this blog.  It has been changed. Some books were removed and some were added. It may change again because it has become a working list. There was a list put together at the beginning of the year, but you see, people are always trying to lead me into temptation and when it comes to books I generally follow. I have been distracted for the last ten years and I never read what I am supposed to.  Rather I read whatever I feel like at the moment.  As a result, I have read many many books not on the list. And am I the only one who reads several books at once?  I just can't help myself; there is so much good stuff out there. One of the novels I'm rereading is Julie Dash's Daughters Of The Dust .  (wasn't on original list)  It is the story of the Peazants, a family of former slaves who lived on a island off the Atlantic coast of South Carolina.  Part of the family migrates to the north, much like...

Although it's probably right in front of my face, I don't feel like looking for it anymore.  So now I need to find something light but slightly exhilarating to read.  What shall it be? Judy's Journey   Lois Lenski Flat-Footed Truths: Telling Black Women's Lives   Patricia Bell-Scott with Juanita Johnson-Bailey Their Eyes Were Watching God   Zora Neale Hurston The Poisonwood Bible   Barbara Kingsolver Sherlock Holmes   Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Hercule Poirot's Early Cases   Agatha Christie Daughters of the Dust   Julie Dash All of these are possibilites because I've read them before and they are soothing to me like lavender incense and chocolate chip cookies.  Ya'll know about me and those cookies! I like the short stories because they don't obligate me to very much time, but the novels have some prose and familiar characters that I love. Tonight it will be Daughters of the Dust by Julie Dash.  Have a good evening everybody....
