,Said the Shotgun to The head arrived in the mail the other day! I am huge Saul Williams fan! I have read this book three times already! I am so happy to finally have a copy! I have also read She more than once... I want my own copy. The Dead Emcee Scrolls- The Teachings of Hip Hop I want a copy of it as well. I have seen the movie Slam so many times!

Very old pic! Saul Williams and I... I was eight months into locking my hair. I had my babies curled.

Here are my locks now. They are 3 years old.

Book Notes

So I have been heavily into J. California Cooper. I can't stop reading her books... I love where she takes me! Her books are full of wisdom and enlightenment. I love the characters in all of her books. I get through her books so fast! They are definitely page turners!!

I finished two books by her over the past two weeks....
The Matter Is Life
A Piece of Mine

Now I am reading...
The Future Has A Past (also by her)

Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page

BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
 
My teasers....
 

But... no matter what you do or how you hide, this world, life, is not going to let you get away without livin.
Long as you breathin, something is going to happen to you!

I started reading Would I Lie to You this week.
I am digging the book... it is very entertaining and I am getting through it really fast!

Bookfair finds

Went to the fall bookfair today with a friend. Here are my favorite finds....
Blues Legacies and Black Feminism by Angela Y. Davis
Eulogies by Amiri Baraka
Race and Resistance: African Americans in the 21st Century... great authors in this book
like Amiri Baraka, bell hooks, Angela Y. Davis, Sonia Sanchez and many more.
Before The Mayflower by Lerone Bennett, Jr.

I normally come home with 3 boxes of books. This time I only came out with one box. I normally go by myself. My friend was a huge distraction for me. I made a note to myself to always go to my favorite bookfair by myself.
