Gone but not Forgotten

Hello readers, family, and bloggers,

I take it nobody was very interested in my black author bookclub idea.  Well never fear cause MELODY is here and you can put money on it that I'll Be Back (in Arnolds Shwartsnegger voice). If anyone has any ideas for a blog that they would like to see started pls feel free to e-mail me at ms.melody@hotmail.com.
 I would love to hear your questions, comments, concerns, and ideas. Until we meet again, may you have a Blessed and prosperous future. Love you all. Peace

Notorious by: Kiki Swinson

Kiki Swinson is unstoppable.  Whether she is writing about life in the hood or living the fabulous life, she always delivers a sizziling read.  This book was a real page turner for me because most of it was written with the characters being in the city that I reside in, Norfolk, VA.

Swinson is an Essence bestselling Author of Wifey and several other books.  She captures the heat of the streets in this title.  So please get this and read this book and then......Let's chat.

Dutch by: Teri Woods

This is truly an urban-lit classic and it breaks all the rules. Dutch vividly depicts the 1990s drug culture and urban fiction fans will welcome the final entry in True to the Game's trilogy.  Oh did I mention that this book is a SPECIAL COLLECTOR'S EDITION.

Woods is New York Times Bestselling Author who is a native of Philadelphia and resides in New Jersey with her two children. Before writing books she was a legal secretary/paralegal for eight years in a Philadelphia law firm.  So give this hardworking Black Author some justice and read this book and then..... Let's chat...

A Different Kind of Blues By: Gwynne Forster

This book took a little longer for me to read because it is different from the type of Black Author Books that I normally read, but nonetheless, it was no worse than what I am used to.  It has a different kind of twist in it that deals with life on life's terms.  And it ain't easy.

Gwynne Forster is an Essence Bestselling, Award-Winning, National Author.  She is also a Demographer and former Senior United States Officer and has traveled the world which I'm sure has made her a very well rounded woman.

This book will challenge you to think, feel, and imagine.  Hmmmm!  You wonder what it's about?  Read it and then.......Let's Chat!!!

Confessions of a Video Vixen By: Karrine Steffans

I read this book in all of 4 days.  I am an avid reader and if I find a really good book, then it takes no time to read.


This book is a New York Times Bestseller and believe you and me Steffans doesn't hold back when it comes to dishing out info. about her famous lovers and so on.......It is an easy and entertaining page turner but, also a cautionary tale that contains a message to a new generation of women.


Please read and let's chat!!!!  Ciao.
