2020 Recap for SB3TZ
2020 has been an interestingly difficult year for a lot of us and some of us have thrived. The one thing the three of us could count on was coming together each month to discuss the Book of the Month. In the midst of everything, we kept on reading and looked forward to sharing our thoughts with you. We’re excited to give our take on where the BoMs of 2020 fit in for us. We love reading and retelling the story because it just feels good. Reading and talking about what you read with people who get it is EVERYTHING. Even when we disagree😂 Here’s a list of…
Review: Tale of Two Cities: A Christmas Novella by Alexandra Warren
A story that gave you just what you wanted! I always love it when we as readers get to know characters what think about each other, but we painfully watch them fight against being honest about it. This one was one those stories where two people were attracted to one another but said nothing directly. There were some embarrassing outbursts for sure. However, the characters played a little hard to get or read. I loved how the author built up the suspense so to speak. You never know if people will go after what they want to cower in fear of rejection. Either of those things could happen and…
Review: Christmas with the Wrights by Christina C. Jones
Unfortunately, this was my first Christina C. Jones book. I only say that because these characters are a part of a series. Now I know things from this Christmas story that I wish I didn’t. It won’t completely spoil the stories from the Wright Brothers series. And it most definitely won’t stop me from reading them. However, if you don’t like even the smallest of spoilers, read the series first. With that out of the way, this was a great short read. Even though I had not met these characters prior to this story, bits and pieces were given to avoid losing the reader. The author did a great…
March’s Book of the Month
Review: Snowflake by Nia Forrester If you haven’t read Snowflake, then just read our review. The episode below does contain SPOILERS. Running away from his feelings is the one race he’ll never win … A star athlete and Olympic prospect, Kal Carter is bound for greatness. Everyone says it, only he’s not sure he entirely believes it. Because he’s lost something he can’t replace, and most days feels like he’s holding up the sky; and doing it all on his own. To maintain focus, he never lets anyone close except in the most superficial ways and he’s become very good at it. Until a long, cold week when the…
February’s Book of the Month
Wonder by Christina C. Jones Spoilers all up and through this podcast. So, if you haven’t read the book, don’t listen lol. Read our reviews below for some context (those are safe;)) For excerpts, click here. It all came down to me. The one who followed the rules, never went looking for trouble – I kept to myself. I just wanted to take care of my family. To not constantly look over my shoulder, worried about the things that went bump in the night. I just wanted to survive. But that wasn’t meant to be. As luck – or fate, or something – would have it, the trouble found…
January’s Book of the Month
He Who Is A Friend by Love Belvin Spoilers all up and through this podcast. So, if you haven’t read the book, don’t listen lol. Tech issues caused some glitching as well. It shouldn’t be too bad. Enjoy! For review discussion excerpts, click here. Sadik Ellis blew into my rather insipid world at breakneck speed and with gripping force. He held all the features: striking feline eyes, golden russet skin, incredible sex appeal, wealth exuding like the enticing scent of cologne, and mind-blowing determination. He was also trouble from the other side of the tracks, something I’d sensed. Sadik was an Ellis man with a solid education, his own…
