Sherring’s Goodreads: Tanqueray

03/03/2023 by Sherring D.

If you’re familiar with or follow Humans of New York (@humansofny) on Instagram run by photographer Brandon Stanton, then you may be already familiar with Stephanie Johnson, better known as Tanqueray. If you’re not familiar or don’t follow, then let the story of a spunky elderly lady in her 70s, born and raised in Upstate New York who ran away to the city for a more glamorous life, be your sign to do so.

08/07/2018 by Sherring D.

#BlackLoveBooks Challenge Day7: To Be Read: a book you’ve been waiting to read As of now, my Goodreads account says I have 404 To Be Read books. I’m sure I have more titles scribbled on random pieces of paper, emails and texts I sent to myself. What We Lose by Zinzi Clemmons received lots of publicity and positive reviews when it was released in June 2017.

#BlackLoveBooks Challenge Day 6: #MCM: a male partner, husband or love interest I’m taking a bit of liberty with this one. Instead of writing about a character, I’m writing about an author. I can’t remember who I discovered first back in high school: Eric Jerome Dickey or Omar Tyree. I do remember a time when it seemed like I was always reading one of their books or one by Carl Weber or Michael Baisden. Friends and Lovers is one of […]

#BlackLoveBooks Challenge Day 4: Fantasy

08/04/2018 by Sherring D.

#BlackLoveBooks Challenge Day 4: Fantasy: a fantasy-based novel with a love connection. Now I will admit that fantasy is not my thing at all. I can watch fantasy/sci-fi movies and TV shows for hours on end, (I’m looking at you Game of Thrones and Lost; not you Lord of the Rings), but reading the genre feels like a chore, or even punishment.
