This book right here, so good. We both thoroughly enjoyed this book, but it did engross us a lot and it did take us quite a bit of time to get through it. But, that being said, it's worth it.

Becoming, fantastic. I'm not going to say anything more about it. Michelle Obama, she's fab.
The commentary on society, the commentary on colorism, the commentary on being a parent to children that are not biologically yours, it's just it's phenomenal. All of this around a mystery, solving a mystery. It's fantastic.
I read this book when it came out, I think it was two or three years ago and loved it, gave it five stars, read it again last year, loved it again, gave it five stars. This book really basically talks about the development of Islamic fundamentalism in a small town in northern Nigeria.
This book was so thrilling to read. I had no idea it was going to be like that. It had suspense, it had great writing, it had travel, it had pacing, it had everything.
Dear Ancestors is the story of the Middle Passage and it's told in verse and it is freaking fantastic as well.
There was just there's just something about the way the story's told, the way the character develops and you really see the development of the character and I think that is phenomenal when you see it in a book because we don't see that done so well.
Now, this one right here was very good as well. But, let me tell you this right here, it gets very complicated and it's very good. It's an excellent read.
But, this is a good story about family, friendship, freedom, independence, how independence can affect the people around you, the people that are your friends, that are your family, people in your, you know, that live in the vicinity of you, especially if it's a small town, how they react to you.
I won't talk too long about it, but this one, if you have not read this book, I strongly urge you to read it. It is very, very good, very well written and it enlightened me on some other aspects of Islam, but through another country.
And it is a graphic novel and it follows the life of this blues musician, Robert Johnson, and it is freaking fantastic. It's just a beautiful graphic novel.
The first one, I gave it five stars as well, but this one right here, this is the storyline is much more complex, the characters are much more fleshed out and the themes are much more real.
This book is so beautiful. The way it is written is so beautiful. It's just it's very good and what she does best is the voices.
I highly recommend this one. I felt it was a very strong novel writing about a very difficult topic, but a topic that should be discussed because it is based off of a true story.
It's very very interesting. It's a very short book, but worth the read. I gave this one five stars cuz I had not heard of this book before.
