Love the blend of music & books! 📚🎶 Some of these are in my Want-To-Read list. 📝

Dezmond, you’re the best! You had so many funny one liners! I loved this because I hadn’t seen your earlier vids as I didn’t know about you until some months ago. You still look great by the way 😊. 100% agree with you about Fredrik Backman- he’s brilliant. Loved so many of the same books you recommended.

1. Please bring back the whiteboard 2. I think we need a compilation where you transition from book description to R&B banger

Rootless and Jackal were both highly anticipated releases for me and they both let me down. Yinka and All the Lonely people are on my “before the end of year TBR”. There are multiple that you mentioned that I have but have not read yet.

This was so good!!! When you said “I’m fine… I’m still fine!!!”, I heard Tisha Campbell 😂❤

Not wrapped around your soul 😂😂😂

I love this video! I am so glad to see someone brag on Black Cake. It is a favorite of mine, but I haven’t found too many others that love it like I do. So I really enjoyed seeing you brag on it. ❤

this is a great concept for a video! I’ve been here since you first recommended “how to drown in a glass of water” and you’re still the ONLY person I’ve seen on booktube that talks about it!

I enjoyed the video a lot as always. 😊 I am curious about your reading process and maybe a video of you sharing your favorite reading spots. I am inspired by the breadth of your reading. 📖 keep it up 👍🏾

Great video, thanks for all your favorites. I bought at least five based on your recommendation, you don't disappoint enjoyed them all.

hey 😊😂❤😊

I really enjoy the way you talk about books, this was very entertaining 😁

Consider STANDING AT THE SCRATCH LINE and ECHOES OF A DISTANT SUMMER by Guy Johnson, son of Maya Angelou. Story begins in Scratch line and ends years later in the second book ECHOES. Strong black male who values family and friends. Will remind you of a Black Hatfield and McCoy story. Excellent reads!!!!

Crimes of Passion! Yes! I absolutely agree about needing a full novel from Jack (Brynn) Harbon. The audiobook was amazing! I loved it so much.

Im so happy to see how much your channel is growning. Shawnaci Schroeder mentioned you in hernlast video showcasing black booktubers. You're gonna have more followers soon!!!

It's me taking down books to suggest to my book club. This is why I love watching your videos. I get unique recommendations I don't see very often. Love the video!

More than half the books you have I’ve never heard of. I’m so glad it’s not the same sh.., the rest of the UA-camrs are talking about. Quiet refreshing. If I hear that silly “funny story” title again.

First time watching and I love this concept!😊

Love this so much! This makes me want your spotify playlist!

Oh this is genius!! I love it ❤️

I laughed out loud so many times watching this!! You are an absolute joy to watch!!

This was such a great idea! Hope we can get a part 2😊

Its only so much understanding I’m gonna have before i curse you back out is meeeeeee

First video of yours I watch; you're so funny. Loved this ❤

Love this concept!! I just read Wellness by Nathan Hill and LOVED IT!! He is long winded though 😂😂 just picked up The Nix. And I AGREE about Curvy Girl Summer. It got boring in the middle. Dates and phone calls with Nina 😅

I love tying music to books! It would be fun to get song recs that you think fit the type of song each book is 😊 I also do a series like this- great way to combine two passions!

I'm reading the little rot now and I'm glad this book short cause whew

17:28 "humor is subjective. people might not find me funny, that's fine. I am, no matter what you say, naturally, okay." made me burst out laughing, as did "That's a lie, I just lied like that post worker did". also yes Bahni Turpin is top-tier audiobook narration!!! Been listening to The Legacy of Orisha and she is phenomenal.

‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ That’s so BS about the PO Box situation sorry you had to go though that

😂😂😂 I literally just finished reading Olive Grove in Ends just before I clicked on this video! It drags a bit in the middle with a lot of religious redundancy. 3/5

Not you getting us together about minding the business you gave us 😂😂😂😂😂😂

No they didn’t ask you to repurchase and get refunded for something THEY LOSS! 😅🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 “b*tch I don’t have a green jersey” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

You are not alone, I’ll have two chapters left and I’ll go start another book 😂 also I have Vladimir but I have yet to read it. I think the cover just caught my eye at the time lol

I bought a smaller shelf for my physical tbr and that has helped me see how many books I have and it’s only two shelves so I can’t buy too much 🫰🏽

Sing unburied sing I loved but loved Salvage The Bones even more . Blahdiggityblah I’ve over commented 📕🪱💚

Read Unsettled in January i think and I can relate to your take . I really liked the chapters from the grandma and kinda wanted that to be the whole book 📕🪱💚

Read Shark Heart about a month ago and though i dislike romance , I don’t mind love stories and the book taught me that. It won’t be a top read , but I did enjoy it . 📕🪱💚

Love your channel, Love your energy, and love how you have me laughing… You are huhlarious! Love love 💚💚💚🫡 oh, imma check out the Prince of Monkeys. thnks for the rec… 😉📚

You are brave enough to do t. I should do it but I probably got like 1000 books or something. It would take some time.🤭

😂😂😂. I wish I could get some your DNFs. You have some bangers!

As a “senior citizen”, I am a die-hard DNFer. I don’t have enough time to waste on a book that doesn’t resonate with me. Glad to hear your stance on the matter!

Bit*h I don’t have a green Jersey 😂😂

Lmao you discussing buying multiple copies of homegoing was hilarious 😂

Lol the intro made me laugh for some reason. I loved the video. Glad I found your channel. “I just lied just like that post office worker did” cleared me 😂😂😂😂

I love a fellow DNF advocate. I have too many books to read to care about books I don't like. I followed you first on TikTok, and I have to say I absolutely love and prefer the longer content you do here on UA-cam. You're my number one source for literary fiction book recs.

I have two sets of bookshelves. The big one is my unreads and the little one is my reads. I get rid of most books after I read them so it’s not like I haven’t read many books, but I could go a year at my current reading pace without running out of things to read.

That’s a hell of a way to start a book off 😂

“That’s a lie, I just lied just like that post worker did” HAHAHAHA

Seeing Chuck Tingle’s “Bury Your Gays” on your shelf reminds me that whenever I need a laugh, I go to his Wikipedia page and look at his list of “Selected works.” I can’t repeat the titles of most of his books on here but they’re hilarious.🤣

Identifying strongly as my TBR, shelf a after shelf, is out of control.
