It's late, but I finally posted my recap of the books I read last month. Hopefully, I can find time to get next month's recorded so I can get the next video out earlier. Again, I welcome any feedback on my videos and any book suggestions. https://youtu.be/hTdTmqCWWfI
For Black History Month, I decided to read “Black Enough: Stories of Being Young & Black in America,” an anthology of short stories featuring Black characters. It is one I came across many times at the library, and I wanted to read it. I am glad I did. It is very rare that I like …

Back in 2019, one of the books that I began and was determined to finish was “The Stand” by Stephen King. I ended up bringing in the new year by finishing this book. As 2020 unfolded and the pandemic occurred, I kept reflecting back on this book. Not because what happened in the book happened …
