TBR Tuesday 📚
I added Legendborn to my TBR because I want to read a fantasy book soon. Also, I added the Cartel 6. I started it but I’m not emotionally prepared for what’s about to happen! I’m already upset 😂🤣 about the circumstances. What’s new on your TBR?

I’m enjoying it so far 😁 I like seeing the producer’s role and behind the scenes. He includes great stories about some of his hit movies🍿 He shares tips that helped him be successful. His writing is funny and to the point. He even has a narrator, giving movie vibes. 🎥 #blackbooksky #booksky

I hate feeling stuck. I always want to be able to leave and transition.

If you loved Chelley and Ace, you’d love Only For The Week by Natasha Bishop! Just like Chelley and Ace, Rome and Janelle find love on a beautiful island 🏝️ amid unexpected family drama. Ace and Rome built their connection with big romantic gestures 💓 that warmed my heart. #blackbooksky #booksky

After escaping the feds, the men rely on their women to rebuild their lives and open a thriving casino. But as relationships are tested, a new threat looms, putting everything they’ve built at risk. #blacksky #booksky #urbanlit

“Next, Master W. D. Fard established in 1931 in Detroit a University of Islam. It had adult classes which taught, among other things, mathematics, to help the poor Negroes quit being duped and deceived by the "tricknology" of "the blue-eyed devil white man."

TBR Tuesday 📚
After the National
Book Festival, I added these books to my TBR. The Payback is about Jada planning a heist to pay off her student loans. The Summer I ate the Rich is about Brielle using her zombie powers to enact revenge. What’s new or next on your TBR?

creating a brand from scratch is hard but consistency really does matter.

regardless of likes & views by the time someone finds your content they’ll have something to binge on from all the content you’ve already released

Same! One of my goals is 30 minutes of daily reading.

Nicole 📚 @ontheurbanshelf.bsky.social · 22d

Oo I should add that as my goal. I need to do better with journaling after I read. I’m trying to decide too. Do you have a digital journal?

Nicole 📚 @ontheurbanshelf.bsky.social · 22d

That’s a fun goal. I love a genre switch. Do you already have the books picked out?
