A heartbreaking and inspirational read. This memoir had me in tears in parts. Cupcake has lived a life so many people wouldn't survive. Told with heartwrenching honesty, a compelling read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐#cupcakebrown #apieceofcake #goodreads #litsy #thestorygraph #amazonkindle #memoir #bookqueen #bookstagram
I just started this book and I don‘t think I can stomach to read it any further. I had to put it down multiple times.
I realized I forgot to post my #booked2021 Quarter 1 wrap up.
I read—
Unnatural Causes, doctor MC
Death in the Air, science written by female
Darkness to Light, mustache on cover
A Piece of Cake, baked goods on cover
Memorial, author‘s name starts with A, B, or C
The Rosie Project, set in Australia
#GroupK I have chosen four books for our group. I am leaning towards A Piece of Cake or The Healing Spell. Let me know your thoughts. #lmpbc
A Piece of Cake
The Healing Spell
I Was Dead for 13 Minutes
Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls
Or if none of these sound good help me choose more books.
My stomach is in knots listening to this. There are so many things wrong with this and I can‘t seem to process quick enough!! I just keep saying, but she‘s only 12! 😩😭
Woooooo! I can't even imagine the type of life she went through. I had to take breaks often because her story is tragic for a young child. I never experienced anything that she did and don't know of anyone who has experienced ALL of what she went through. She is a walking testimony.
When asked what my favorite book is, this is my answer. This book is highly engaging and makes you not want to put it down.
Everything was half price at St Paul‘s Thrift Shop yesterday.
Hmmmm....which book that Bahni Turpin narrated should I spend my audible credit on? ??
@TheBookKeepers You were correct that "On the Come Up" was probably going to be narrated by her (It is!)

Loved this! Cupcake overcame a system seemingly against her to make a life for herself. She writes with complete honesty.
Enjoying some coffee. Wish I was reading. Trying to finish up some work so I can run some errands.
One of the first 'proper' books I ever read. I love how strong she is after all that she's been through. I really felt a connection with the writer and could sympathise with some of the hard times in her life. This was the first book I really enjoyed, and was a reading hater prior to this book. Through this Author I found a genre of books I didn't really know existed, and so it will always have a special place in my heart.
Book hang over today.... stayed up too late in the night reading. #NoSurpriseThere #StoryOfMyLife #BookWormNeedsAGlowWorm #ForBedtimeStories #ReadingPieceOfCake #CupcakeBrown #PieceOfCakeByCupcakeBrown #MyFavoriteMemoir
Currently reading A Piece of Cake by Cupcake Brown... one of my all time favorite memoirs 🦄
Now I‘m back at work and trying to decide on my lunchtime read. Thanks @Josie for the recommend!
I got a surprise early birthday cake. Also, I'm quite fond of pigeons so this card is the best thing ever. 🎂
This is definitely a great read! Sad and gritty but one of the best reads I've had in a while!
I read this years ago; so it seemed fitting to tie to this final bday post. For #GypsyKatsBirthdayWeek, I shared some pics of a few bday cakes my mum has made my daughters over the years. Everyone seemed to like them which made me want to share this year's. Two things you should know:
1. My dd ❤️s hippos and has since she was a baby.
2. My mum made the cake for her bday even though we're clear around the world and can't eat it. ☺️
When you find 3 books at the thrift store and they're all the same shade of lime green. 😆 #apieceofcake #theartofcrashlanding #lullabiesforlittlecriminals
Deeply emotional book, superbly written and although can be very sad at times, it's also uplifting and with much to teach the reader :) and quite surprisingly funny !
Work break...should be good for two chapters at least.
#17booklove Day 9: Memoir Love. I went through a big memoir phase when I was in high school. I don't read memoirs anymore unless they come highly recommended and it's not a famous person. I always seem to be disappointed by celebrity memoirs. As I've gotten older, I find that memoirs tend to bore me. Anybody have any recommendations??
#TBRtemptation post! Another bit-older book the library has acquired by popular demand. Just reading the back cover of this title is eye-popping--sheesh! A young woman who dealt with parental death, foster parent abuse, boozing, drugs, prostitution, miscarriage, homelessness.....all before turning 20?! Whoa 😳😱!!! And then how she turned her life around and came back from the brink to become a successful lawyer?! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
My Christmas book haul! Thank you to my mom and sisters for introducing me to litsy! Now I just need to figure out which book to read first 🤔...
#somethingforsept day 4! If you like memoirs, you should pick this up. I read it in high school (which was about 8 years ago) and I still remember most of what Cupcake Brown went through growing up. It's that scary. It's that sad. It's that REAL. It sticks with you. This was actually the first book I read by an author of color, and I'm so glad I did.
Pink and green books you say? Just a great exercise for rediscovering great books on my shelves! Some I've read and some are still waiting. 💕

Not an easy read, but definitely worth it. Cupcake has had a really hard life and overcomes so much. A truly inspiring story.
Great read if you work with youth, it's difficult to read at times but life isn't always a cakewalk. Cupcake Brown serves her life story on a plate, just remember there is always hope!
