Book Haul Heaven: New Arrivals and Classic Reads

[@kearreasharpe19]

Honestly you make all the books sound interesting

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

This is such a compliment. Thank you

[@Bestie_Bri]

Girl YOU are kind, smart and important too 🫶🏽

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Thank you so much

[@CoralKnitz]

Girl! That's just like buying yarn and knitting are 2 very different hobbies. 😂❤❤❤❤

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Yes they are 😂😂😂

[@christine.saint17]

the warmth of other suns is one of the best books I've ever read. I learned so much and resonated with a lot of the stories. it stayed on my mind for months after i finished it.

[@krystler.9418]

Yesss. It left a huge impression on me

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

So I’ve heard! Have you read When Crack Was King??

[@florencemartin6137]

@@shelbeyandthebookclub I haven't read When Crack Was King, but I've read and listened to The Warmth of Other Suns. The Chicago story really resonates with me because my parents migrated from Georgia to Chicago, where I was born. Revealed so many reasons why they made some of their decisions.

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

@@florencemartin6137 this is good to know

[@MissMyka-b1w]

Have you read her other book Caste? It’s literally the most impactful nonfiction book I’ve ever read. The Warmth of other suns is definitely on my list.

[@derrickadrake7458]

Shelbey, I used to be an avid reader, but haven’t read a book without illustrations in 5-6 years!!! 😢 You are inspiring me to start again! ❤❤❤❤

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

You can do it! The same thing happened to me. But once I started reading again, it lead to me creating my book club and making videos!

[@Joan1able]

Thanks I appreciate your presence on the internet thanks 😊

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

My pleasure!

[@7blessedkids]

I am enjoying your videos!! I am getting back into reading and I am glad I have ran across your videos. Now I can get an Idea of what look for in a book that will take me out of my comfort zone.

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Yaasss!! I have a video coming that will help with that too!

[@Kyeattam]

The warmth of other suns was so good. It was such a long read but well worth it. This book and Love Songs of WEB Dubois are two of my favorites.

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Okay let me push both of these up!

[@TheExtraIntellectual]

I am happy to hear the good news about your health challenges. Wishing you continued blessings and health💫 I took my time and re-read a few of Toni Morrison’s books this year. I re-read Sula, Jazz, Song of Solomon, and Love. I enjoyed the re-reads. Of course, I experienced the books differently as a more mature woman. I think you will enjoy Love. I have read quite a few books from watching your videos. Most of your recommendations are on par with what I enjoy reading 💜💜💜

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Thank you and I’m glad you’ve got some good recs from my page ❤️

[@FreeFormLady]

Great Haul! You're in for a treat with Known World & The Warmth of Other Suns. Both are excellent!

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Thank you ❤️

The warmth of other suns is phenomenal. Okay hold on. I had no idea Danzy was married to Percival! 😮 272 sounds GOOD

“ The 272 “ is in my cart now. I’m trying to get into non fiction book.Thanks for the haul !

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

👏🏾👏🏾 I think that one is gonna be amazing

[@kiarrasteer7707]

Stop right there. I’m adding that to the cart just for the TOC! I totally agree with that sentiment 😭

[@shakettafranklin7886]

I have a plan to go through all of Toni Morrison's works as well!! Yay!! I'm hoping to get through as many as possible before the year is out. I've finished Recitatif and Sula. I'm about to read Paradise. I have Caucasia on my list

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Yaassss I love this! You’re gonna love Caucasia

[@maryburrell3948]

I have had Lost In The City for a couple of years on my bookshelf. I just happen to take a glance at my bookshelf and seeing it. I will give it a read.

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

I love when that happens lol that means it’s time to read

[@gpmorris-yz4xv]

That's some high praise for The God of the Woods 😮 I can't wait to read it too

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

I really enjoyed it

[@themamamatrix]

New subscriber!! Stumbled upon your KZbin in search for high school reads for our 9th grader for this coming school year. I’m a homeschool mama and I am finishing curating her curriculum for her English honors class. So happy to have found your page- I refuse to have her read all the classics of this world so I am trying to gather black/hispanic/ and Native American classic reads. She loves historical fiction! If you or anyone else has any particular suggestions please let me know. Thank you!!

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

I’m going to post a video soon with YA reads but the first thing that popped into my head is What The River Knows by Isabel Ibanez. it’s a fun one but def could lead to a conversation about ethics around artifacts and museums. So other historical recs that aren’t YA but came to mind: The Yellow Wife by Sadeqa Johnson The House of Eve by Sadeqa Johnson Black Cloud Rising by David Wright Falade Take My Hand by Dolen Perkins Valdez No Better Time by Sheila Williams

[@ladyd8800]

Hi Shelby! Loved your book reviews. I've been on a reading hiatus but want to get back. I got a bunch of books on my TBR Thanks for your inspiration to pick up those books and and start READING! 😍

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

Thank you! I am so glad I could help!

I plan on it.

[@taraiviacarter]

I was in target looking at books the other day and I saw “One of our Kind,” and I thought it sounded interesting. I didn’t realize that it was polarizing. 🤔 I didn’t pick it up but I definitely want to check it out from the library.

[@shelbeyandthebookclub]

I haven’t seen much more about it but I still need to read it

Thank you! Honestly, leave it for the fall. It’s good but it’s long!
