Shannon (✮✮✮✮⭐︎). Currently, I am doing a multiple year reading challenge through most of the African nonfiction on my TBR, with the addition of a few novels. Since my Congo books were slated for next year, I had yet to experience her writing; however, when I was offered a review copy of this, her newest book, I jumped on it.

Monday, January 5, 2015. 9738; THE SUPREMES AT EARL'S ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT by Edward Kelsey Moore (✮ ✮ ✮ ✮ ✮). Nothing beats starting a new year with a five-star read! Last year I only had two the entire year, so they are pretty rare for me. But Ladies of PBT, what were you thinking? Everyone dies in this book! Or so it seemed to my over-sensitized perception.). So I thank you for your suggestion.
