Forever Eve by JB Lexington

Book: Forever Eve

Author: JB Lexington

Format: Kindle

Rating: 4.5/5

Forever Eve by the author JB Lexington is a romance novel. The main character of the story is Izabel. Her dreams for marriage are quite similar to dreams of any other girl. She married her boyfriend Bo but her marriage didn’t turned out to be a happy one. The therapy sessions helped her a lot. Read the story to know how Izabel deal with her bad marriage.

Izabel’s character is my favorite. Her friend Natalie Spencer’s character is also amazing. Their true friendship reminded me of my best friend. The story is intriguing and I couldn’t put this book down without finishing it. A bad marriage is definitely much stressful.

It was a short and quick read. I enjoyed reading it but some sections when Izabel was being abused were heart breaking for me. This is a great debut work by the author and I recommend this to my fellow readers.

Book: Afros, Braids, & Curls: ABCs for Curly Girls

Author: Daniela J. Lopez

Illustrated By: Christen A. Whyte

Format: Ebook

My Rating: 4.5/5

Recently, I read this book and got to know about the ABCs of hair. I was so astonished to read it. I have never thought that related to our hair, entire A-Z can be defined. I learnt ABCs of hair from this children’s book.

This is the first book written by the author and I would say that the content of this book is unique. I suggest girls to go ahead with this book and they will enjoy it.

This book is basically based on the hair styles of black girls that have curly hair, kinks, braids, afros, etc. I agree when author say: U is for Unique as no two heads are quite the same. This is a unique book. It was a quick read for me and I was enthralled to read it.

Pick this book and check out different hair styles and textures that author has in store for us. Looking forward to read more work from the author.

Book Review: It’s In You: A book for big dreamers

Book: It’s in You

Author: Sharifa Anozie

Illustrated By: Claudio Espinosa

Format: Kindle

Rating: 5/5

I love to read books based on dreams as they motivate me. It’s in You is a book for dreamers. It is a fantasy story.

The main characters of the story is a helpful girl Ella and a caterpillar Patch. One day Ella asked Patch what did he want to be when he grow up? To this, Patch replied that he want to fly so high that he can touch the sky. Ella started thinking of all possible ways to help Patch whereas others doubted him.

I learnt a message from this book to be with those who help us to achieve our dreams. If someone doubt us, then let them do. I really liked Ella’s character as there are very few people who actually help us.

This story is written and narrated well. Illustrator Claudio Espinosa has done a fantastic job with eye catchy illustrations. This book stands out overall and doesn’t deserve less than five stars. This is one of the best children’s book that I have read till now.

Awaken The Three by D.L. Jennings

Book: Awaken The Three

Author: D.L. Jennings

Format: Kindle

Pages: 546

Rating: 4.5/5

Awaken The Three is an epic story and it is the sequel of ‘Gift of the Shaper’. It is Book 2 in the HIGHGLADE Series.

The story features Aldis Tennech of Khala Val’ur. Aldis Tennech was once the general of all the armies of Gal’dorok. He is the “Dagger of Derenar and the Caller of Gwarái”. He is a man that always has a plan. He finds himself in exile. His hope of reclaiming glory is in the hands of self-proclaimed emperor and unearthly powers.

It is a story of war, chaos, drama, suspense, thrill, etc. The twists and turns in the story makes it more interesting. The glossary given at the end of the book was really helpful. The story however felt a little stretched. The map given at the beginning will give you the idea of the places that are there in the story.

I recommend fantasy lovers to pick this pick. It will amaze you undoubtedly.

I Will Be Here by author Darryl Farley

I Will Be Here written by the author Darryl Farley is a children’s book for little kids as well as teenagers. This book is written by a black father for his son and to motivate other black fathers.

As we read the story, we observe black fathers play major role in their children’s life which is similar to the role played by other fathers, so it is important for them to be in the home.

A father is always there to witness his child’s milestone, to help them stand tall when they fall. While reading the book, I got emotional as it reminded of all the things that my father has done for me.

A father always teaches his children to be the best version of themselves. The narration is so clear and smooth. The language of the book is simple so kids can understand it easily. This book is written beautifully and kids should add it to their book shelf.
