Valentine's Day ReadSoulLit Tag announcement. Looks like I’ll be posting a YouTube video! Thursday, February 14, 2019 I’ve been tagged! One of my favorite booktubers Kay (@kay_t_thereader) tagged me for Didi’s (@browngirlreading) ReadSoulLit Tag. I’m planning to film and post the video on YouTube this weekend. This will be the first tag in which I’ve participated, and it will be the first video I’ve uploaded to YouTube in months. Months! Looks like Kay has forced me out of YouTube dormancy. Stay tuned, and make sure you’re following my YouTube channel “Vernitra’s Book Club” to see the upcoming video. __________________________________ Currently Reading | HOMEGOING by Yaa Gyasi (2016); UNFORGIVABLE LOVE: A RETELLING OF DANGEROUS LIAISONS by Sophfronia Scott (2017); GOLDEN CHILD by Claire Adam (2018) ___________________________________ Follow @vernitrasbookclub and #vernitrasbookclub.

Juicy, late-night reading Thursday, February 7, 2019 Late-night reading of UNFORGIVABLE LOVE: A RETELLING OF DANGEROUS LIAISONS by Sophfronia Scott. Set in late-1940s Harlem, this book is juicier than an in-season peach that has ripened on the counter for a few days. Definitely a treat. The characters are definitely into some next-level scheming in this story! I’m reading the book for Didi’s (@browngirlreading) ReadSoulLit 2019 readalong. Are you reading it too? @sophfronia.scott __________________________________ Currently Reading | HOMEGOING by Yaa Gyasi (2016); DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS by Walter Mosley (1990); UNFORGIVABLE LOVE: A RETELLING OF DANGEROUS LIAISONS by Sophfronia Scott (2017) ___________________________________ Follow @vernitrasbookclub and #vernitrasbookclub.
