OMG!! I have never heard anyone talk about The Measure!! It was my favorite book of last year!! It’s sooooo underrated! I wanted to start a book club just to talk about this book…but I don’t like people enough.🤷🏼♀️
Some of your 5 star reads are also on my list so I’m not going to mention those. Here are some of my 5 star read: The Girl with the Louding Voice, Symphony of Secrets, Perfect Peace (very hard read but worth it), Hurricane Summer, One Summer in Savannah, Someday Maybe, 32 Candles, The Dust Bowl Orphans, Solito (audiobook), The Thing About Home and recently released Sweetness in the Skin. Ok I’ll stop there lol
I love your interest in reading and your singing as you think is charming! Sometimes, when I'm praying I sing like that. It just bubbles out. While I'm shopping or doing errands I'm humming or whistling like that too. LOL
discovered your channel recently and have had a great time watching your videos. seems like we kinda have different taste in books so it's nice discovering new books/authors thru ur recs!
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!!!!
Allegedly is so good! Tiffany D. Jackson has become one of my favorite authors of all time. Her books always gut punch me. Also razorblade tears was sooooooooo good. Perfection.
I always like/love Fredrik Backman books. I assume you read A Man Called Ove….(that was my introduction to the amazing F. Backman- I think it’s a 5 star for me). The Nightingale was a 5 star read for me. I’ve read some of the books you talked about, and I’m adding some to my REALLLY LONG TBR list. Happy that The Measure is #2 on my list!! I think I might be moving it to #1 and The Bee Sting can go to #2. Thanks for another great video. I hope your eye feels better soon.
Desmond the first 30 second of this video had me cracking up! “Why is my fist balled up?” “Stay ready!” lmfaooo! I love this video and you get a subscribe from me!
Ooh I read Razorblade Tears at the end of last month and loved it. Am going to be reading ALL his other books. All. Of. Them. I loved Black Cake, I have not watched the show, pleased to hear it did it justice… Ooh I might start the show tonight. Allegedly was amazing. I need to read more of her books. The Nickel Boys broke me. The Rachel Incident is a book I’m soooooo excited for. It’s on its way I believe. Honor also sounds amazing. Too many amazing sounding books… that I haven’t got my mitts on yet. Lol.
I just read the Neighbor Favor! Love The Nickel Boys. Have you read Underground Railroad by the same author? Gonna Add Glory Be, Wrong Place, Wrong Time and Black Cake to my TBR.
Okay Razorblade Tears is an easy 5 stars, but All The Sinners Bleed.....6 stars! That book came after way too many poorly written, problematic, BS thrillers and SA Cosby, a damn lyrical poet of an author comes in with the serial killer thriller to end all serial killer thrillers? *chef's kiss* He's a master.
I loved Razorblade Tears. It's one of my all time favorite books. Wrong Place Wrong Time was so different. I enjoyed it but found that listening to the audiobook helped with all the time jumps. Another favorite of mine is All My Rage. It's Young Adult but it is so powerful and beautifully written.
i'm pretty sure sa cosby altered the dna of everyone who read 'razorblade tears' whether or not they enjoyed it. i'll be there if you start a campaign to get you in the screen adaptation!
New subscriber. Just found you. I have read one of your recommendation: Razorblade Tears . As you started the video I was like, "I trust this dude's recommendation, no trick". Now to go look for and to start these other books.
Love Razorblade Tears, I didn’t expect to love it, sad but beautiful 😢❤Ready for more of his books. Great recommendations🤗📚❤❤❤I own some of the books you mentioned but they are unread, They will be in my near month tbr, and those I don’t own, are in my shopping cart😃already📚😄
I am never gonna get thru this list- but I’m trying! Reading Rachel Incident now. Enjoyable. I could NOT finish Wrong Time, Wrong Place. By the time I was 3 days back-done! Too frustrating. Great video. I need to hear more singing:)
Why you have me laughing at 630am watching the beginning of your video! 😅 Great recommendations to add to my TBR. #1 S.A.Cosby fan! 5 Stars I recommend: JAMES and ERASURE, both by Percival Everett. House in the Cerulean Sea.
I have a copy of James, but I haven’t read it yet. I think I’ll bump that one up on the list. I watched the movie adaptation of Erasure, but I might still read the book.
I know the topic is ‘5 star reads; books’. I see it, I love it! 😁 But! And also,☝🏽😬…. I feel like it’s Corey Gamble’s son influencing me to pick up Black Cake 🫶🏽🫶🏽😅
OMG!! I have never heard anyone talk about The Measure!! It was my favorite book of last year!! It’s sooooo underrated! I wanted to start a book club just to talk about this book…but I don’t like people enough.🤷🏼♀️
lol! I have never heard anyone vocalize their disdain for people in which I do…just came here to share in the love..lol
I just saw Razorblade Tears in a free library today and didn't grab it but looked at it for a long time. This was my sign, going back for it.
Did you get it?
RUNNNNNN back and get it if you can. It really is a great read.
Just finished Razor Blade Tears so good!
Run Forest Run! Back and grab that book!
In fact, go get all SA Cosby books. All great!
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.
I'm starting Razorblade Tears today - I can't believe I've waited this long to get to it! I loved Black Cake too - I need to watch the adaptation.
Black Cake and Razorblade Tears are two of my faves 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ also we definitely need a part 2 of your 5 star reads!
Razor blade Tears was incredible ❤
Yes, read “Honor” again. That book took me totally out the U.S. Amazing writing and heartbreaking, too.
Some of your 5 star reads are also on my list so I’m not going to mention those. Here are some of my 5 star read: The Girl with the Louding Voice, Symphony of Secrets, Perfect Peace (very hard read but worth it), Hurricane Summer, One Summer in Savannah, Someday Maybe, 32 Candles, The Dust Bowl Orphans, Solito (audiobook), The Thing About Home and recently released Sweetness in the Skin.

Such an interesting video! I hope you do a part 2 because I hated to see this one end. You gave us a a wide spectrum of stories to consider.
discovered your channel recently and have had a great time watching your videos. seems like we kinda have different taste in books so it's nice discovering new books/authors thru ur recs!
I have yet to read a Fredrik Backman book.
Thanks for sharing Buki Papillon, Gillian McAllister.
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!!!!
Standing At The Scratch Line is one of my favorites. If you can find a copy, Frank Yerby's "A Darkness At Ingrams Crest" is a real good book.
Recommendation appreciated will look for Yerby book asap. Happy Reading
Allegedly is so good! Tiffany D. Jackson has become one of my favorite authors of all time. Her books always gut punch me.
Also razorblade tears was sooooooooo good. Perfection.

Razorblade Tears was one of my favorite books 📚
So happy I found your channel! I love how you describe each book. Informative and funny ❤
I just finished Black Cake and loved it too! I’m glad you talked a tiny bit about the series because I was nervous it wouldn’t live up to the book
Razorblade Tears, SA Crosby ate down!
I’m listening to The Measure now, I got it when you recommended it in your previous video ❤
So glad to add new 📚 books to my TBR 😂I LOVE your personality

The Rachel Incident really surprised me. I didn’t expect to love it so much. Fingers crossed it doesn’t disappoint you.
Omg I LOVE Glory Be, she was hilarious 😂 I haven’t read Allegedly but Take It Back by Kia Abdullah is along the same lines.
I just read the Neighbor Favor! Love The Nickel Boys. Have you read Underground Railroad by the same author? Gonna Add Glory Be, Wrong Place, Wrong Time and Black Cake to my TBR.

I loved Razorblade Tears. It's one of my all time favorite books. Wrong Place Wrong Time was so different. I enjoyed it but found that listening to the audiobook helped with all the time jumps. Another favorite of mine is All My Rage. It's Young Adult but it is so powerful and beautifully written.
