April reading wrap-up 📚🎧 #blackbooksky #booksky

Last night I saw Michael and let me tell you, it felt like I was back in the 80s watching the greatness of MJ in reel time. Tonight I’m at the fancy theater to watch The Devil Wears Prada 2. Just waiting on my food while I sip on this expensive ass Crown Apple and Cranberry juice 🤦🏾‍♀️🤣🤣

I’m more vested in this Meg/Klay breakup than I am over another fake shooting.

I miss the days I forgot who was the president because the local news was filled with actual things happening in the city/state. When we only heard from The White House or President when an actual major political event took place.

Last day of my spring break. The countdown to the end of the school year has officially begun!!

Independent Bookstore Day! 📚💕 Join me at The Love Potion Library bookstore on Saturday, 4/25/26, 5-6pm. 284 Noe Street, San Francisco, CA, Castro District. I’ll be signing some of my @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social novels. www.thelovepotionlibrary.com #Romancelandia #SanFrancisco #CastroDistrict

Podcast in general is another very over saturated genre. Everyone thinks what they have to say is important. Also, it’s a lot of reused hot topics being overanalyzed.

My spring break is winding down and I’ve had way too much screen time due to reading and doom scrolling 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ But here is another great book I’ve finished this week. Have you read Little Fires Everywhere? I loved the minis series years ago. 📚🎧 #booksky #bookrec

And if you are a black woman, you better have decent insurance or you will sit in pain even longer.

Singer D4vd arrested in connection with the death of Celeste Rivas, LAPD says

Black women deserve to be heard, protected, and cared for with dignity. The Black maternal health crisis is real, and too many lives are at risk because our healthcare system continues to fail Black mothers. I’ve been working in Congress for nearly a decade to fix it.

Live Nation illegally monopolized the market for tickets, protecting its position through pressure and leverage, jury finds

I DNFed a book by one of my top favorite authors today. I’m not okay and I’m currently in a reading slump even though I still have a couple of books to finish.

Making sure my work alarms are off since I’m on spring break!! I always have books on deck plus I will be working on my National Board components!

Rah by Jessica N. Watkins was almost 600 pages long and I read it in two days. I honestly could have read it all yesterday. Rah is the antagonist that makes you wish you were a character in the book so you can take him out! 📚🎧 #blackbooksky #urbanfiction

A content creator I follow on TT made a post where she was getting rid of all the junk food in her pantry replacing it with healthy snacks. So make people were in her comments complaining she was wasting food and she should have donated it. It was literal junk food, nothing healthy! 🤦🏾‍♀️

I hit two reading streaks this week. Reading has been fun entertainment for me and I plan to keep it that way. #booksky #readingismyhobby 📚🎧

I’ve cleaned my eyes multiple times and they are still irritated as hell 😫😫😫

The KING OF ASHES paperback is the Barnes and Noble Thriller pick for April.....

If Obama would have………

I HATE when a character has an inner monologue with themselves instead or reading the other person to filth! 🤦🏾‍♀️ Girl, please grow some balls! 📚🎧 #blackbooksky #booksky

Me when I saw all seasons of Greenleaf are on Tubi. 🙌🏾🙌🏾 I get to hate Charity & Jacob all over again. 🤭🤭 #blacksky

That game was so disappointing. South Carolina looked like a different team. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ UCLA was on beast mode the entire game. Congrats to their team.

Every time I read an urban fiction book, someone ends up pregnant…. #blackbooksky #booksky #booktalk

Geno, that was so damn embarrassing 😡 Take your ass whooping and go home!!

If you are not watching this South Carolina vs UConn game you are missing a battle! #wcbb #finalfour 🏀

So Strong ripped her own jersey and Gino is blaming SC??? #ncaa #finalfour #southcarolina #uconn

This game has me on the edge of my seat. #wcbb #finalfour

April is National Poetry Month. Add a book of poems to your TBR! #blackbooksky #booksky #nationalpoetrymonth 📜✍🏾

Every apartment in my hometown, that’s decent, is $1100 or higher. The minimum wage is still $7.25 per hour in this very historically red state. YET, these folks still vote against their very interest.

My March reading wrap-up. I read 10 books and listened to 1 audiobook. #blackbooksky #booksky #bookrecs

When you reach reading goals way before the month is over. I’ve been rotating between physical and ebooks. My goal is to read both each week. 📚🎧📚 #booksky #blackbooksky #readinggoals

“Time is Up”

I finished Kin today. I would not recommend listening to the audio. Some parts of the book dragged and the ending was disappointing. #blackbooksky #booksky

Democrats sweeping all these special elections is going to make Republicans want to cheat even more. There will be more voter suppression measures taken by the GOP than just trying to pass the SAVE Act.

My stomach decided to choose violence today. Imma need this to not be a problem during state testing. 🤦🏾‍♀️

My school starts state testing this week and I have a little over a month to prepare my submissions for NBCT. 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Yall pray for me and my students please.

Books on deck this week, Kin by Tayari Jones, Zetas Till We Die by Amber and Danielle Brown and my goal is the finish The Things God’s Break by Abigail Owen! 📚🎧 #blackbooksky #booksky #bookrecs

My signed copy of The Close-Up came today and I ordered it directly from @kennedyryan.bsky.social Page 158 Books. Now I need to read the Hoops Series and reread Reel. 🤭🤭 #blackbooksky #booksky #bookrecs

Aunt Flow (cycle) came to town so quiet and not making me ball over in pain with cramps and pimples as if I’m a teen. I wish I knew years ago these detox pads would actually work. I have been wearing these while I sleep and they are great. I tried them for health reason not to fight Aunt Flow.

Books I will be reading this weekend, The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander and The Things God’s Break! 📚🎧 I’m also watching the first round of #ncaa basketball! 🏀 #booksky #bookrecs #marchmadness

Bookmail!! 📚🎧 I cannot wait to dive into both of them. #blackbooksky #booksky #bookrecs
