White Lines is White Hot!

Hey Ladies,

The new featured book of the month is White Lines by Tracy Brown, an urban epic novel based on the hard knock life of hustling and trying to survive the concrete jungle.  From what I hear it makes Coldest Winter Ever by Sistah Soulja seem like a fairytale book.  I'm just saying...

However, if you're interested in finding out for yourself, pick up a copy and meet us for another book club discussion October 23rd, at 3:00pm.  The lovely Tatiana will be hosting... Details for RSVP will be posted when available.

Happy reading!!!

Meeting of the minds...

In our last book club meeting we discussed the book Sleeping with Strangers by Eric Jerome Dickey. To say the least, the book was a definite page turner. The plot, the story line, the SEX! Those scenes were hot enough to make Zane find a new profession!!!  Gideon, the leading character is also the overall favorite amongst the ladies who attended the meeting.  The ambiguity of the characters nationalities keeps the book interesting, never predictable, and leaves a trace of mystery about their origins.  We had a wonderful discussion about the book, as well as other books in the series.  I'm dying to read them all, and I have already started Waking with Enemies, the sequel to SWS.  I also wanted to mention that the Twins did a fabulous job hosting as always.  The lay out was exquisite, delicious.  Thanks ladies for the warm hospitality... Please join the discussion, we'd love to hear your thoughts about the book, or other great books you have read, or are reading.  Until next time...

New On the Scene...

This past weekend, I made a trip to Borders in Oak Park, just to browse, and see what's current. I made a note of a few books that might be enjoyable to some of you, as well as be a potential IWO feature.  Also I wanted to bring to the surface a new author that I'm very familiar with personally.  Stephan Howard and his first fiction novel "The General's Daughter". I have pre-ordered a copy because I  want to get a first glance of his writing and story-telling abilities. If he fares well, I'm thinking that he could be a IWO feature in the upcoming months.  I'll keep you abreast of any new exciting news that I feel is worth sharing...but isn't everything!!!??  See below for a list of new releases. Toddles!! :-)

Tempted by Trouble : Eric Jerome Dickey
Bitch is the New Black: Helena Andrews
Unzipped: Noire
In My Father's House: E. Lynn Harris

Sleeping With Strangers

As the next book club meeting is soon approaching.  I am definitely excited to dive into the work of a well established and phenomenal writer Eric Jerome Dickey.  As I understand this piece leads a series of more electrifying reads of which I can't wait to get through all of them!  Make sure to come back for more info, and discussions after the meeting in September. In the meantime drop a line or two about other great books you've read or are currently reading. We'd love to hear from you!

Happy Reading!
