Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls: 100 Real-Life Tales of Black Girl Magic

Review: Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls - Black Girl Magic - Rebel Girls - September 2021

Part of me wishes I had a daughter/niece who I could share these books with as each one they release are amazing and it gives the children role models from all walks and areas of life and shows girls that no matter what happens you can achieve anything and that it's a good thing that girls can have both beauty and brains and more often our world is always highly shadowed by males who achieve greatness rather than the females. We are also coming into a new generation where women of color who were often shunned or placed in the background are also being acknowledged along with their white female counterparts which I love as that is the way it should be, it should never be about the color of their skin but what they have achieved. Black Girl Magic is laid out in the same format as the other books in this series where each tale is given a double spread of one page per story and a full-color picture of the person. The other thing I loved about this book and the others is that they feature not only famous ones that we all know of like Toni Morrison and Aretha Franklin but also unknowns like Marsai Martin and Shirley Chisholm. The other thing I enjoy is that the book is also a mixture of older black women we know of like Katherine Johnson and Serena/Venus Williams but also newcomers onto the scene like VP Kamala Harris and Poet Amanda Gorman who delivered Joe Biden's inauguration with a poem.  This series is perfect for girls of all ages especially those between 9-15 years and also grab it now if you need a last-minute Christmas present or a birthday gift.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
