Kema Reads (a lot) is 48% done with Brown Girl Dreaming

The nostalgia of it all. This book reminded me of hanging clothes out to dry on the clothesline; catching lightning bugs; getting my hair straightened on Saturday mornings by Ms. Alice; riding the van to church and much more. Even through a rough childhood, this book brought back memories of the good times. 🤎🤎

The format of the book is different — like a poem. I like it.

Kema Reads (a lot) is 15% done with Hoodwinked

All this yelling is giving me anxiety! Homer is an a** and his sisters are bullies. Lawd, let this book get better for Violet’s sake.

Kema Reads (a lot) is starting Love Radio

I love love and young love is unmatched! This book reminded me of that. As an adult who sometimes feels like dating and relationships are a cesspool of heartache and disappointment, this was a nice reminder that it’s not always that. Love Radio is just a feel good book! 🤎🤎🤎

Already, I feel the urge to weep for this father and son. I’m going to be no good the more I read.

JUST TURN THE DAMN RINGER OFF! Sheeeeeesh ….
At this point in the book, I’d give this 2 stars cause it’s a lot of words and no story.

Kema Reads (a lot) is 42% done with Nothing Burns as Bright as You: A Wild YA Love Story of Two Girls, Queer Hearts, and Fire

Such teenage angst! Not to discount their feeling, but daaaaamn they’re dramatic as hell. Their teenage love feels all consuming and not enough.

I’m still wondering how I got to this book. 🤔 Gotta see it through though.

It’s definitely funny in a “Who’s on First” type of way.

Kema Reads (a lot) is on page 321 of 370 of Big Machine

Another reviewer said “the book was good the first 200 pages or so”. I didn’t finish reading his review cause I didn’t want to hear why. I just figured it out. This book has gotten hella weird and I don’t know where the hell it’s going and how I got here. I’m going to finish it though cause I’ve invested too much time not to know how it ends.
