You know this is a special copy as I bought it at Marcus Books in Oaklad and saw Jill Scott on the same night, so I will be keeping this copy forever. Although, I would like to have it autographed by you or win an autograph copy. Your writing is so wonderful and full of such description, I am hooked.

One of the books I read for it was a good YA called Harlem Stomp by Laban Hill. This period fascinates me and at the same time repels me. I'm not sure I would be able to get through Glorious. I'm afraid I'm an emotional and squeamish reader.Margothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422981969760935118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-43962528429851784112010-06-18T13:19:04.595-04:002010-06-18T13:19:04.595-04:00Sounds like an amazing book.

I actually wrote a report about the Harlem Renaissance in 7th or 8th grade, having learned about it in a book I'd read on my own. I don't remember a whole lot about it, so it'll be nice to get a refresher. And thanks for the warning about the gruesome lynching scene. I still can't believe that such horrible things occurred.<br /><br />--AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-24148084781994711542010-06-17T08:45:14.816-04:002010-06-17T08:45:14.816-04:00Wow!!
