I was tagged in September on Facebook to post about books that I’ve read that have stayed with me throughout my life.

Since it’s National Bookclub Month, I thought it’d be nice to post books I’ve enjoyed throughout my life.

I am a different type of reader. My mother was a stickler for history books and my father was a stickler for science so growing up in an African-American home deep in Detroit with a father who was a chemical scientist and a mother who was a social studies teacher kept our reading taste very different.

I decided to share a little of me on my literary world to show you why there’s a different taste to my writing than most people.

I’d love to see your list too.
