May 1st! The SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT is here. There is a very good book coming in June, so mark your calendar. The Scent Of Burnt Flowers. ✍🏿 Very good. The magical realism derailed the story just a little, but that's my personal hangup. I just can’t seem to get comfortable with this “magical realism” business. I’m a fan of real realism. Having said that, I still recommend this book with great enthusiasm because Melvin and Bernadette have a suspenseful and anxiety filled journey from Alabama to Ghana. The emotions they encounter and how they process these emotions are heartfelt. Why the need for magic? Melvin, in a very brief fit of rage has made a terrible mistake. His solution is to make it to Ghana to connect with his college friend, who happens to be, the President of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah. Ahhh, if they could just get an audience with Nkrumah things would be set right. The problem is, Nkrumah is constantly avoiding coup attempts, so he is not easily reachable. As, the couple get closer, the intrigue becomes more heart rendering sending your blood pressure up a few points, yes it feels that real. So, why the magic? Just so not necessary. The reader is easily pulled into the couple’s various machinations trying to stay one step ahead of the law, and although you understand the gravity of what has happened you root hard for the couple to experience a positive outcome. The story moves at a quick pace and the prose is feel inducing to the point that it isn’t necessary to tell the reader that the relationship is unraveling the prose leads the show. So again, why the magic, in what is so real of a story? As the FBI agent states upon learning of one of Nkrumah’s escapes, ““Birds that magically turn into soldiers and rescue a president? Now I’ve heard it all.” Yep, the magical realism was a spoiler of a great story but for fans of that literary device this one is for you! Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for an ARC, book is out June28, 2022 #ownvoicesreviews #randomhousepublishing #scentofburntflowers #bookpusher #pushingbooksainteasy #bookreviewer #blackbooksmatter #netgalley #blitzbazawule #goodblackreads #blackbibliophile #r4 #makereadinglitagain (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdBDwoprBNJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Black Is King (2020) - Review/ Summary - "Black Is King" belongs in the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and is another example of Beyoncé setting hard to follow precedents. - #adventure #andrewmorrow #beyoncéknowles-carter #blitzbazawule #cloverhope #dafeoboro #dikaylarimmasch #disneyplus #emmanueladjei #ibraake #jakenava #jennnkiru #julianklincewicz #kwasifordjour #musical #pierredebusschere #tv-14 #yrsadaley-ward
