Read-A-Thon Update #4

I enjoyed my first read-a-thon! I read books that had been on my TBR List for quite a while!
I read 4 books instead of 6 and I am cool with that. In total I read 537 pages.-:)
I had no thought of participating this year until I got to work this morning. I am glad I participated!
Next year I will be better prepared.

Just Finished
Spin A Soft Black Song by Nikki Giovanni
Paperback:64 Pages

Favorite poems in the book are these two....

yvonne

yvonne
stood there unsmiling
with collard greens
and sensible shoes
on her way
to becoming a good
Black Woman
-Nikki Giovanni

the drum

daddy says the world is
a drum tight and hard
and I told him
i'm gonna beat
out my own rhythm
-Nikki Giovanni
