IS #BOOKTUBE RACIST? | @jthegreatbiblio

I'm sharing Jo from Jo the Great recent video about her thoughts on if BookTube is racist. Like she states, this is not the first video of this kind to be brought up about diversity within the book world but more specifically the BookTube community nor will it be the last as everyone else keeps sharing their own stances. However, I do agree with most of her points and feel like I should share her video around as I did for Christina Marie a while back.

As I tell my own children no one is perfect ... we all have our flaws even if we don't realize what they are ... but talking about our thoughts, getting them out there into the world, and calmly discussing them with others IS the only way I feel that we as a whole can move forward. So, please hear out Jo ... follow her ... follow me ... comment wherever you like and lets get this momentum of communication to begin.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out Christina Marie's Black Bookish Peeps Database too.

Firestorm by Solange Ritchie / @author_solange | Spreading the Word #Free #BookSale

Today I'm showing off Solange Ritchie's "Firestorm," which is Book 2 in her Dr. Catherine Powers Series, and it is FREE on Amazon's Kindle from August 20 & 21, 2018!! Links to get a copy for yourself are down below!



"Firestorm"
by Solange Ritchie

Author's Book Description :
    A year after the death of her ex-husband, FBI forensic pathologist Dr. Catherine “Cat” Powers and her young son, Joey, are trying to cope with the emotional aftermath of life without him. Joey is especially vulnerable after being kidnapped by the “Burning Man” and witnessing his father’s brutal murder.

    On a peaceful Saturday afternoon in Quantico, a mysterious manila envelope arrives in Cat’s mailbox. Inside, she finds a lock of Joey’s hair and a photograph of him taken during his abduction, his face twisted in fear. The photograph could have been taken by only one person. Cat immediately knows that the Burning Man is back—and she and Joey may never be safe again.

    When the Burning Man resurfaces in Southern California, a trail of the brutally mutilated bodies of young women left in his wake, Cat teams up once again with police detective Jim McGregor to hunt down the madman once and for all. But while Cat and McGregor methodically pursue one serial killer, Southern California’s beautiful neighborhoods begin to burn one by one. The investigators realize they must catch another killer: a serial arsonist who is happy not only to burn buildings but to watch his infernos consume people’s lives—a man obsessed with fire above all things, a man with a deep sense of hatred toward society. Cat and McGregor find themselves growing closer as they become enmeshed in a deadly game with two deranged killers who leave few clues and always seem to be one step ahead.

    As the death toll mounts and powerful Santa Ana winds whip the flames, the evidence reveals that the two killers are connected to each other—and that one of them seeks revenge for the sins of Cat’s past. In the fire-ravaged hills of Southern California, Cat wages an epic battle against an arsonist and a sadistic murderer. She promises herself that this time, she will not let the killers get away. This time, she will see justice done—for the victims, for their families, for Joey. But will Cat have to pay the ultimate price?

BookTubeAThon 2018 - It's A Wrap! | @trinityblacio @LornaJWrites @authornordin @LPDover @jk_rowling @BookTubeAThon #BookTubeAThon


This was my FIRST ATTEMPT at the BookTubeAThon ... yet my FOURTH read-a-thon in total ... and though I didn't complete many reading challenges I feel very accomplished with the amount of books that I read. Even though I did start early and most were novella or less than 200 pages in length, but *shhhhhh* don't tell anyone. *hahaa*

The top video below is my BookTubeAThon 2018 Wrap Up where I quickly give an overview of what novels I read and my book ratings for them all. Than underneath all of that I give you the option to pick and choose what other videos to watch out of my week long antics OR you can watch them in order from beginning to end through this link here (which is linked below too). I hope you'll enjoy and maybe get some good book recommendations along the way. 😉
