January didn’t start off that great in regards to my 2025 book goal, but I did more than make up for it in February. This month’s reads were sooooo good! I would recommend each of the books listed over and over again. Although I have yet to create my reads for March, I’m excited about what the month will bring. Have you read any of the books listed? Do you plan to add any of them to your to be read list? Let me know! Happy Reading!Starr
We’re entering the last week of Black History Month but the celebration (and the reading) doesn’t stop. While we close out this beautiful month of celebration, I wanted to highlight a few of my favorite books written by some of our most decorated celebrities. I know President Obama isn’t technically a “celebrity”, but yes he is. Fulton Street Books and Coffee is Black and Woman Owned! It is a bookstore and coffee shop located in Tulsa Oklahoma and serves as a safe space for Black & Brown folks. I’ve made it easy for you to purchase this weeks book recs…
As a child and young adult, I loved reading! I quickly realized that reading was a tool to sharpen my imagination.

Twenty four books read is my 2024 reading challenge goal. In 2022, I read 17 books, surpassing my goal of 12. In 2023, I didn’t come close to my goal of 24 total read books, at only 13. Last month, I decided to push myself and be very intentional on not only hitting my goal of 24 books, but beating the goal by adding one additional book per month! That’s a lot of math, I know, but the point is, I’m hoping to beat my goal, and if I continue on this path, I will definitely do that! I’m still…
New Month. New books to read. This month’s list explores different genres, writing styles, and emotional requirements. The Rebel King by Kennedy Ryan is part 2 of a 3 book series. I read the Kingmaker in February, and I loved the story line. Tiffany Jackson has a way of pulling on and not letting go of your heart strings. If Grown is anything close to Allegedly, I’m not sure if I’m ready, but I do know that I will have to read something a little lighter afterwards. Which leads me to THE Terry McMillan. You can never go wrong with…
