Wolf Hustle: A Black Woman on Wall Street | Cin Fabr�

#BlackHistoryMonth Loving this memoir about a daughter of #Haitian immigrants who was born into poverty but had an abundance of street smarts. A natural hustler, Cin was always scheming and scamming finding creative ways to earn money. Deciding college was an expense she couldn‘t afford, Cin chooses to apply for a job on Wall Street as a cold caller. Think a female Jordan Belfort 🐺

Finally finished the October #foodandlit buddy read! (7 minutes left until November in my time zone😄)

This was a very different and unexpected story, I enjoyed Alaine's snarky remarks, mixed-medium diary/assignment reports and will definitely spend some time googling the food and dishes mentioned, Haitian cuisine sounds delicious!

so-so

3/5 ⭐️ I'm mixed on this one. I found Alaine to be immature, does that mean I'm getting old... Oh God. What it lacks in the storyline though, it makes up for in its vibrant descriptions of Haiti and it's culture.

Hello #FoodandLit Buddy Readers! 🇭🇹

How are you liking the book so far? I'm halfway through and enjoying it! I like Alaine's sense of humor.
Do you like the style of the books with the diary entries, letters, and emails?

There is one thing that has bothered me that I'll put in the comments to avoid spoilers.

Catsandbooks Alaine has had so many incidents, situations, etc. Where she has gone overboard with her drama and it gets her into trouble. To me it shows that she has a lot of growing up to do. Do you think she's done those things to get the attention of her mother who hasn't really been there for her and has been so focused on her career? Also it seems like her mom has put her career first and Alaine has been an afterthought. Will her diagnosis change that? 2y

TheBookHippie I am struggling … hoping it‘s the COVID after affects…I agree with your immature statement. Driving me to not like the book. 2y

Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie oh I'm sorry! Hoping the covid effects go away soon! 💕 2y

TheBookHippie @Catsandbooks started Sept 23 can‘t imagine I have much longer to go… 😝😵‍💫 2y

Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie oh wow! Sending healing thoughts your way! ✨💕 2y

Lunakay @Catsandbooks I like this kind of very direct 1st person narrator, I liked it in general so far, love Alaine's humor and actually thought the whole pig cake incident was quite hilarious in a slapstick sort of way🤭 Starting with the Haiti part today! 2y

Catsandbooks @Lunakay I hope you enjoy the rest of it! 2y

How are we entering the last quarter of the year?!?!
Have you liked having buddy reads this year? Do you want #FoodandLit buddy reads to continue in 2023?

Sapphire I picked my books from my TBR before the buddy read titles were announced. 2y

Bookworm54 I haven‘t read many of the buddy reads this year, but I think they are nice to have. Especially if you are struggling to find a book for somewhere! 2y

AnneCecilie I‘ve liked the buddy reads even if I participated more at the beginning of the year. I have participated when I can get the book from the library or have it unread on my shelves. I loved the Durrell book and would never have found it on my own. (edited) 2y

TheBookHippie I am in for these last three because I have a lot of sitting in my future waiting on doctor appointments!! LOL. OY VEY!! I do like that you pick books for these even though I plan my own thing a lot of the time! ARE you doing this challenge next year as well?? 2y

Catsandbooks @TheBookHippie I hope your appointments go well! 💕 #FoodandLit will still continue but I'm trying to see how much interest there is in continuing the buddy reads. 2y

Lunakay @Catsandbooks Count me in for the November and December buddy reads as well! :) Thanks! 2y

Catsandbooks @Lunakay will do! 😊 2y

A book I had never heard of until I was challenged to read it for the Trope-Ical Readathon on twitter. Learned a bit about Haiti which was nice. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️
