Yes We Can…. Read Romance
@barackobama - this list is cool. King of Ashes by S.A. Cosby is a fave. But where are the romance books? This is my 3rd year trying to get you to hype a romance. I believe in me but you’ve gotta help me out here sir.
Three 2025 romance books I know you (and Michelle) would love:
- Can’t Get Enough by @kennedyryan1
- August Lane by @reginablackwrites
- Love is a War Song by @danica_nava
Tap into this beautiful genre. There’s a whole world waiting for you. We’re here and we want you to join.

I’m pretty sure I passed away today while meeting Oprah. What a wonderful event to celebrate @oprahsbookclub most recent book club choice, Tell Me Everything by @lizstroutauthor !
Thank you @meta and @threads for the invite. Thank you @strandbookstore for the gorgeous location. And thank you to @oprah for the wisdom and joy. My spirit is lifted.
*also I got to meet @lbardugo and tell her I’ve been reading her books for over a decade (😱), hug @tomiadeyemi (screaming) and talk to @evachen212 about the superiority of romance and fantasy books.
Shout out to @lupita.reads for the absolutely stunning photo of me in the rare books room. It was unreal to meet you in real life.
And lastly thank you to @styledpixie at Anthropologie for convincing me to buy this skirt and belt. I got so many compliments on my outfit 😍

That feeling when you’re an extra in Hocus Pocus and are littered throughout the movie.
I’d recognize that hair anywhere y’all! 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️
Happy Halloween and long live the Sanderson Sisters!

I loved doing this complex set for BookCon! (Swipe for thumbs) It features 10 different designs inspired by book cover art 📚

What do you do when you’re in a book slump?
I reread. And praise the hot sexy Dominican and Greek gods that brought me back to On the Hustle by @ladriana_herrera . It’s been wonderful to be back with Alba and Theo and their hot kinky selves.
Adriana - you’ve saved me from the post-Score slump lol.

I’ve still not recovered and I finished Score two weeks ago. @kennedyryan1 wrote a masterpiece as always. Thank you for allowing us to learn through you, see other perspectives through your work, and celebrate Black creatives.
And the team at @readforeverpub - thank you for my copy to review, cry over, and stare into space after.
Score, Book 2 in the Hollywood Renaissance series, is out May 19th. Get those preorders in and follow Kennedy for preorder campaigns at Black owned bookstores!

New Release Tuesday! Thanks to the tagged publishers for my gifted copies.
Which new release are you most excited about?!
Big Girl Blitz is that girl and y’all gotta read it. Danielle did her THANG with Jazz and Lamar.
Daughter of the Wind’s cover is a vibe so I’m locked in.
I love a new Chloe Liese and was waiting for sunshine to read this outside. Ya girl is starting TODAY.
I am never chill about Natasha Bishop’s books - my smile directly correlates to my excitement.
Gosh I love a Tuesday pub day.
