My book for February was this one! Colson Whitehead is one of the best authors of historical fiction books. As Whitehead brilliantly re-creates the unique terrors of black peoples in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day.

I have read most of Colson Whitehead's books. I first met Colson while I was a member of The Barnes and Noble Mystery Book Club. We got a chance to read and discuss Sag Harbor before it was published. I remember thinking how much I loved his humor and what an excellent writer he was. Whenever I see that Colson has a new book, I strive to get a copy in order to read it.

EadieB I'm very thankful that NetGalley and Doubleday Books approved me to read a copy of Harlem Shuffle for an honest review. The book is basically a love letter to Harlem, a family saga and a crime novel rolled into one. It is an entertaining read about heists, shakedowns and ripoffs set in early 1960 Harlem. His characters are unforgettable as Colson is a great storyteller and paints a picture in your mind as the novel unfolds. 3y
EadieB If you love crime novels then you should invest in this book. If you want to learn more about Colson, I also suggest that you read Sag Harbor, as that book is somewhat autobiographical. 3y
Kammbia1 I have Sag Harbor on my shelf. I will have to get to it. Thanks for the reminder. 3y

This was my pick for Black History month. I‘m becoming a big fan of historical fiction and listening to Bahni Turpin read this amazing story of perseverance had me completely sucked in. I‘d definitely recommend it. Only downside was I felt the end was left a little to open. All in all I felt it was a great story. #BlackHistoryMonth #supportblackauthors #freedomforall #ColsonWhitehead

It‘s been a while since a story really broke my heart. The Nickle Boys definitely did especially the ending. Also, I learned that Colson Whitehead was inspired to write this story after hearing about a place called The Dozier School for Boys. That was the most heartbreaking part. It is worth 5 out of five stars in my opinion. A true masterpiece. #colsonwhitehead #thenickleboys

I‘m up to page 158. Colson‘s writing is so smooth and easy to read I wish that I could finish this book right now but sleep is calling me. #colsonwhitehead #thenickleboys

I‘m 132 pages in. The fact that this facility existed is the most haunting part of the story. #thenickleboys #colsonwhitehead

I‘m up to page 64. This month is #Nanowrimo so I‘ve been busy with that ( up to 28,932) but I really like #TheNickleBoys so I figured I would read a bit before I went to sleep. I feel for Elmwood. I really do. #ColsonWhitehead

Colson Whitehead is one of my favorite voices. This novella is good. I feel the same way that I did when I read The Underground Railroad. #Thenickelboys #colsonwhitehead
