How Jay Z Went from Street Corner to Corner Office

Review:This book was slow boring and almost painful to read. There were a few interesting points. But no real insight granted the fact that Jay-Z did not participate is a factor but fawor all the people the people the writer interviewed I just expected more.

An Annotated Guide to Eating Well - F*ck - That's Delicious
An Annotated Guide to Eating Well - F*ck - That's Delicious

Review:Action Bronson delivers with a book that's part recipies and part food culture, all through his eyes. It's brilliant to look at food the way Action does, from a perspective of natural curiosity, experience and respect. Action gets you excited about food and about cooking which should be the point of any good cook book but somehow most fall short, this book NOT being one of those. Read more

The Lost History of African-American Inventors - What Color Is My World?
The Lost History of African-American Inventors - What Color Is My World?

Review:This book is absolutely amazing. The story within the story adds texture and makes the story that much more interesting. Especially how it takes typical teenagers who are not necessarily interested in house repair or being educated outside the classroom and peaks their curiosity.

and Visionaries who Shaped Our History . . . and Our Future! (City Lights/Sister Spit)

Review:Love it. I bought this on preorder before it was even released. I wanted one for every woman I know, but started with just one for my mom, the person who taught me to be a proud woman and feminist. She loved it, I loved it, and I'll be ordering more for not only the adult women in my life, but for my young niece too. I learned about so few women during my history classes, that I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't even know some of the women in this book. I love that it covers women from throug... Read more
