Dear Martin, Nic Stone and Giveaway!

India

He is one of the top people in his class and is possibly headed to Yale, but as he is trying to help his ex-girlfriend get into the car after she was drinking, somehow he is the one who is in handcuffs and is being yelled at by police. After that experience he is questioning everything he ever thought of. He is wondering is that all people are ever going to see of him? A black male to be afraid of and to deem as a threat? Justyce begins a

I really enjoyed Dear Martin by Nic Stone! The way it was written really brought the whole thing together. I loved the concept of writing letters to Martin Luther King Jr to try and figure out what was going on in Justyce’s life. Stone brought together so many concepts and ideas that made it a wonderful read. The book is small, but it is mighty. I know this a short and choppy review to put up on this blog, but my full review is on my BookTube channel where you can also find the information to enter into a giveaway!!

Basically The CandleLit Box is a book subscription box that caters to the whole experience of reading. It is a box that wants you to be comfortable and feel good when reading the book that is included.

Happy New Year!!!! Make a reading resolution!

India

(yes I know it says 2010, but we can all just ignore that right?!)

It is New Year’s Eve and everyone is wondering what they are going to do tonight, what they’re going to wear, and better yet what their resolution is for the new year. I have never found the lure of going out on New Years to be in large crowds and confusion.

Instead, as I count down to the New Year I tend to watch football, and read a couple of books. As I continue to read more books I have added another resolution on to my list. One of my resolutions is to read at least one book for choice a month. Being in school that can be kind of hard, but I will try to make it work.

Today I spent a lot of time in Barnes and Nobles just looking at books and seeing which ones I wanted to read. It has been such a long time since I have actually been inside of a book store, since I have a Kindle, that it was such a refreshing feeling to sit on the floor and look at all of these books that I haven’t heard of, and want to read. I’m pretty sure that I added about 10 more books onto my list. In order to see what books I’ve decided I’m going to eventually read check out my library page.

If you’re tired of making the same New Year’s Resolution of saving more money, loosing weight, or getting into shape, try making a reading resolution, and you will greatly appreciate all of the worlds and information that you will come upon.
