Felicia's News, Patterson Heights

While doing some research on Barnes & Noble, I came across a review for PATTERSON HEIGHTS. The first I've seen actually. And it's a great one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to THE MESSAGE!!!

The Message

That's right! THE MESSAGE turns two this month. I still remember the first day I held it in my hands. I wanted to cry, but couldn't. I had to hurry to the Baltimore Book Festival.

Reading List: The Intellectual Edition

Publishing/Literary

Here are a few titles for those looking to water their intellectual growth.

Funny Man David Alan Grier

Publishing/Literary

You probably know him best from his days doing whatever it took to get a laugh on In Living Color. Or maybe from his own sketch comedy show Chocolate News which to the dismay of some, was short-lived on Comedy Central.

Right-Wing Slinging about Obama Hits Author

Publishing/Literary

Charisse Carney-Nunes writes children's books. Her books, which are published through her company Brand Nu Words, include titles like "Nappy" and "I Dream for You a World: A Covenant for our Children," and are designed to empower kids.

Books to Movies

Publishing/Literary

There's a lot of debate about the movie adaptation for Ntozake Shange's "For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" because of Tyler Perry's attachment to the project. Folks are either supportive or straight up mad.

An Interview with Elizabeth Nunez

Publishing/Literary

She talks with Books on the Root about bulimia, her painful childhood, why no woman is immune from an eating disorder, and healing.

The Conversation: Do Black Men and Women Need to Have a Sit-Down?

Publishing/Literary
