Reading Not Reviewing During Summer Vacay + Book Community Drama!

It's been a busy book season and last weekend's Book Fair at Bel Air was a lovely, successful event and a great way to slide into a pause before co-hosting the Women in Fiction Book Fair at Marietta Historic Site & Museum Saturday, September 19. All tabling spots are filled, but it's free to attend!

Hat, sunscreen, swimsuits, rash guard, water bottle, snacks, books... 
[13 books, from top to bottom: Falling in Love on Sweetwater Lane, A Committee of One, Take Me To Your Leader, Don't Tell Me How It Ends, The Lust Crusade, Extracurricular, Our Ex's Wedding, Love Variations, Chasing the Ring, How Simi Got Her Groom Back, A Curse of Beasts and Magic, Enter the Nightmare, A Cruise to Die For; stacked against a beach towel with a seashells pattern] 

Taking some time to rest and recharge before next month's book event. So no reviews probably until October, but last night Heather and I chatted about recent drama in the book community surrounding a post, and subsequent apology, by a book influencer who announced charging "small authors" $1,000 for book reviews--audiobooks only.

Always wishing you good health, peace of mind, safety, joy & some pleasure every day

New Arrivals Giving BRBF Vibes + BAC Issues

Even as my friends and I enjoyed a fantastic community event yesterday in and around the Bowie Branch of the Prince George's County Memorial Library System, there was envy in my heart for all of the attendees and participants at the Black Romance Book Festival in Atlanta, Georgia. Reports of issues of crowding just made me happy for the event organizers' success while they posted apologies and corrective strategies for crowd control during the last day.  In the meantime, the new arrivals shelves at the closest library in the neighboring county offered a variety of books by BRBF authors. "Where the Melanated Are Celebrated" indeed.   [9 books, from left to right: Positive Obsession, Communion, Big Girl Blitz (atop a bookstack), The Started Ex, Fire Sword & Sea, Leave Your Mess at Home, Archangel's Eternity, It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time, First Sign of Danger]  Currently reading Positive Obsession: The Life and Times of Octavia E.
