Sherring’s Goodreads: Bookmarked

12/01/2022 by Sherring D.

Even though Juice is a fictional character, I had to apologize to him for side-eyeing him for one-fourth, ok maybe half or more, of this novel. Even after planning a surprise and beautiful Divorcemoon for Books during which he took her to a kinky bookstore and blew her back out all up and through the AirBnB, I was waiting for the Big Reveal of his devious and nefarious ways causing the divorce filing.

My Bookish Weekend in DC: Well-Read Black Girl Festival and Loyalty Bookstore

11/06/2022 by Sherring D.

Despite being a delinquent book club member, I support all things WRBG whenever I can. Glory holds author conversations on Instagram Live and launched a podcast of the same name. I own copies of both her books. Even if I didn’t know her, I would stan. I love this community.

I attended the festival by the skin of my teeth. Ever the procrastinator, by the time I booked hotel and travel, prices had jumped from when originally checked. I contemplated skipping. The pricetag for the quick local weekend getaway was almost on par with an extended vacation to a beautiful island bought with a special e-newsletter deal.

But you know what? Books and author events are my happy place, my comfort zone. Life is to be lived and enjoyed.

Where is that damn high-interest Capital One card?

Sherring’s Goodreads: Soulmate Setbacks: Confessions II

11/01/2022 by Sherring D.

Soulmate Setbacks is more of the same hilarious storytelling of these no-good-not-even-close-to-being-potential-suitors.

Sherring’s Goodreads: Honey Girl

10/19/2022 by Sherring D.

During a trip to Vegas, Grace Porter aka Porter wakes up with fuzzy memories of getting married to a mystery woman the night before. There’s a note written on the back of a business card placed on a pillow. This impulsive act is a far cry from the reserved and disciplined person that she has always been. The trip itself is a gift from her close friends in celebration of completing her PhD. She’s only in her late 20s.

Sherring’s Goodreads: How is This My Life: Confessions of a Sane Single Woman

10/16/2022 by Sherring D.

Those of us still banished outchea know the dating pool is full of piss. I contend it’s full of floaters. (Gross? Yeah, well, wait until you read about the guy’s home that was so disgusting it gave her breathing problems during her one and only visit.) Somehow, J.R. (and I) still have the audacity of hope. There even seems to be a small glimmer at the end…

Books, Booze, Babies, and Food

09/04/2022 by Sherring D.

Family time aside, my requests for my Philly visits are to keep me well-fed, including a cheesesteak from a new spot, and to visit an indie bookstore, preferably one that’s Black-owned.

Sherring’s Goodreads: Angel & Hannah

09/01/2022 by Sherring D.

Angel and Hannah are the epitome of being young and in love and believing themselves to be grown enough to take on the world. Hannah is a first-gen Korean-American from Jamaica Queens, whose parents, no surprise, disapprove of her interracial relationship with Puerto Rican Angel from Brooklyn. Their disapproval would run even deeper if they knew he’s a drug dealing high school drop-out. Nevertheless, Angel shows up at Hannah’s graduation with a $2 rose from the bodega. So sweet. Not long afterwards, Hannah packs her stuff and leaves home as her mother silently hopes that Hannah’s father won’t beat her daughter as he beats her.

Sherring’s Goodreads: The Other Black Girl

08/10/2022 by Sherring D.

The premise of that awkward feeling when you’re used to being the only Black girl but when another one comes along you daydream about becoming Office BFFs and stress over becoming mortal enemies. Add to that there’s the unsaid, instant bond that you both wear your hair natural. #IYKYK Friends or not, you know everyone is watching, and you bear the burden of representing all future Black employees.

Sherring’s Goodreads: Yinka, Where is Your Huzband?

04/04/2022 by Sherring D.

OMG! When I tell you Yinka, Where is Your Huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn is relatable content, it is indeed relatable content to this reader. Swap out a few things and this novel is damn near my autobiography.
