📚 🅰🅿🆁🅸🅻 🆁🅴🅲🅰🅿 2026 📚 April was definitely good to me with these reads and I finally caught the memoir bug again 🤗. 📖 - What was the best Memoir you read❓ #books #bookstagram #blackmamaswhoread #tbr #bookrecs

🅱🅾🅾🅺 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆 𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: Bottom Of The Pyramid 𝙗𝙮: Nia Sioux 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫 : Harper 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨: This was April Book Club pick and it definitely got me back into reading Memoirs again. If you have seen Dance Moms then you should be familiar of Nia. Hearing Nia tell her story about how she got into dancing and her life on the show was definitely eye opening. First of all Abby really try to diminish Nia’s light but with all the support she had she is still standing today while Abby is in the gutter. #bookreview #tbr #bookreader #blackmamaswhoread #memoir

First off I loved Londyn Mama and the parties she throw because I know it’s always a good time if people staying the night 😄. Then the spice between her and Chance 🥵. Now book 2 with Jayla and Khalid it was a long time in the making but Khalid finally got the girl he been preparing for since book 1 and it definitely was worth the wait 😊. I will definitely be reading more of this author’s work.

📚 🅼🅰🆁🅲🅷 🆁🅴🅲🅰🅿 2026 📚 Better late than never 😅 here’s my March recap. I will say that the love from these books are 5 stars 🥰 but being able to survive Homegoing 😮‍💨 that’s the highlight of the month. #books #bookrecs #bookstagram #readersgonnaread #blackmamaswhoread

⚜️COVER REVEAL ⚜️ Judge Bald & Order. His salty ex-wife. And a second chance romance messier than the bayou after a storm. MADISON
I did something illegal. Don’t ask. Now it’s prison or agreeing to my ex-husband’s ridiculous “date me” ultimatum. Judge Washington Babineaux is tall. Caramel. Judgy. And that sexy bald head is an entire violation.
But me? I’m BIG MAD.
No, he didn’t cheat. We buried our son … our baby … and somehow Wash kept living. Kept smiling. Kept existing like the world didn’t end. Meanwhile, I’ve been surviving on spite and boxed wine. So, I’ll sip my drink, nurse my anger, and pretend my pulse doesn’t act brand new every time he stares at me like he still owns me.
Spoiler alert: I may not keep my hands to myself.

WASHINGTON
Madison Spencer Babineaux is the love of my life. She’s also the most stubborn woman breathing ever since we lost our boy. That day, she left me and took all her light with her.
Now, she’s in trouble, and I’m her only hope.
So, I made her a deal: three high-profile dates. She thinks it’s blackmail. At least it includes a side of second chance. But Maddy’s still the sexiest storm I’ve ever survived. Sharp tongue. Gorgeous dark skin. And I’ll take every ounce of her anger.
Because underneath it, she still loves me, and I’ll be damned if I let her run again. This romcom includes the theme: loss of a child. This amazing cover art by @konturava.art 😍 #bookstagram #bookcommunity #coverreveal #blackmamaswhoread #reader

When I tell you this series is so addicting I finished book 1 and 2 in 2 days tops 🥰. Now by book 3 I had to pace myself because I didn’t want to say goodbye to my girls 🥹. But they definitely did save the best for last because the way Jazz had me in my feels from happy to sad to “Jazz let me hold your hand when I tell you that you have a village please use us”. Now outta all three books my fav characters would have to be Nina and Aunt Addie because they know how to live life and tell it how it is. SN big girls does it better The End 😜.

Now the lovely couple Carli and Rex was that love at first sight but at the wrong time. But when they were on it was so cute because the fact Rex had her back and he didn’t even know her like that 🥹. Now I will say that Carli brother needs to turn his location off sometimes 🫣 The End. #bookreview #blackauthorsmatter #tbr #bookreader #blackmamaswhoread
