The Casting Couch #2

As a part of my new blog resolutions, I decided to add a new monthly post called "The Casting Couch".  The Casting Couch is my monthly post were I will be "fun" casting a few of the books I have reviewed this month.  This is only my dream cast and or possible cast and has nothing to do with the actual actors that were cast in the movie versions.  I just wanted to let you know who I was seeing in my head as I was reading a few of these books. Click on the actors name to read their resumes. 

So have a seat on the couch and let the actors show you their stuff...

Black History Month: New To Me Authors

I wanted to do my last Black History Month post about the books I have read by Black Authors.  This year I have completed one book by a Black Author and I currently reading two others.  All three of these books are by authors that are new to me.  Reviews coming soon!  Since it is just February this list is short so I included a list of books from Black Authors that were new to me from 2012.  (Listed by genre.)

Have you visited a ton of blogs today?  Did you make time for dinner?  

This challenge is based off of a monthly post I am doing here at My Little Pocketbooks called "The Casting Couch".

Black History Month Giveaway Hop!

Welcome everyone to Black History Month Giveaway Hop is here!

What is the big deal about this hop?  Well since we are all bloggers and we read everything from YA, Erotica, Fiction, Romance and everything under the sun most of the authors, characters and subject matters do not reflect the diversity in the communities we live in.  

Take a look over your left shoulder.  

How many books on your bookshelf are by Black authors?  How many of those books on your shelf have a black main character in them. 

So this hop is to help fix that.
