I have feelings of hostility towards Ms Mcfadden. How could she treat Sugar this way?! This was well written but so very grim.

As I can't fit 22 books on a collage, I've screeshotted my #auldlangspine list for @AllDebooks as well as 9 other books for my #top22of22 list @Cinfhen . Bottom 2 books should be read in order shown, as they follow quite nicely on from each other. And the Fraser is also known as The Gunpowder Plot.
I don't think I'm going to get any more 5 🌟 reads this year, and some of these aren't 5, but close enough to warrant a spot on my list.
Thanks @jenniferw88 for the next #lmpbc choice! I'm still working my way through your next one @Mrs_B (is a bit of a slog...!) But hope to finish in the next couple of days! This one looks great!
Sorry for not putting this on sooner @jhod @jenniferw88 ! I hope you find this an enthralling read too. Jenny if it didn‘t arrive today then it should be with you Monday - it went out this week! #lmpbc
Do any of these take your fancy? #LMPBC @jenniferw88 @jhod

1. Yes, mostly because of work (High School Teacher).
2. Cover art is not a factor, but I have bought books because of the cover. LOL

Well I wasn‘t expecting that ending! There were some parts that dragged but I gave this book 3.5 stars. Have you read it? If so have you also read the sequel? Let‘s discuss.
Bernice McFadden poured love and richly descriptive prose into this raw, hurting story about generations of African-American women‘s lives, tragedies, and balms in the claustrophobic southern town of Bigelow, roughly between the years 1940 to 1955. Yes, Sugar Lacey is a pariah and a whore, but her history is intertwined with nearly everyone else‘s - whether they know it or not. 💞💔#bernicemcfadden
Amazing debut novel. Brutal and beautiful. A view of real love and loss. So glad to have found this author. Not an easy read due to the violence, but so worth it. 5 🌟
#bookreport it is going to a great reading week. I am close to finishing all three of the physical books. Just starting my next audiobook!
This year is the 20th anniversary of Sugar. If you haven‘t read this bid I strongly suggest you do. It‘s a wonderful story of how two women‘s meeting changes their lives. Sugar Lacey waltzes into Bigelow, Arkansas and Pearl and Joe won‘t be ready to forget her. Told through life like characters, this story begins with tragedy and builds towards hope. Pick up the new edition of Sugar and enjoy! It was a reread for me and I loved it even more.
Authors whose books I'll always buy when a new release comes out. Like who could resist buying any of these ladies' books?! #autobuyauyhors #bibliophileworldmaychallenge #readsoullit #blackwomenwriters

Couldn't find a book with sugar in my library or on Goodreads, so you get a chocolate egg, with a surprise toy inside! 😊
Loved. This. Book.
