Literary Fiction by People of Color discussion

Group member, author, and founder of (deep breath!) National Buy A Book By A Black Author And Give It To Somebody Not Black Month (December) Carleen Brice has two great book lists.

On her website White Readers Meet Black Authors, (http://welcomewhitefolks.blogspot.com/), she lists her choices of notable books for 2009. She includes one of my favorites, Before I Forget by Leonard Pitts.

And over at http://www.indiebound.org/user/9267/l...

she lists 50 books from every genre that would make great gifts for BABBABAAGITSNB month!

And Carleen also has a terrific list on Amazon:

The movie based on Carleen's wonderful book, Orange Mint and Honey , will be shown on Lifetime on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 8:00pm. The movie is called "Sins of the Mother". Don't miss it!

I also include Before I Forget as one of my fav reads for 2009.

mina, i'm not sure i get how you feel about Before I Forget. :)

Did I mention that I really liked Before I Forget?

it's just that you are so indirect.

I am reading Orange Mint and Honey now and I am enjoying.
