Happy 20th Anniversary to the Go On Girl Book Club!
This Saturday the Go On Girl Book Club celebrates their 20th anniversary! That's 20 years of supporting black authors. From the bottom of my heart (and my cat's, who meows at the end of the video), I thank you!

Reader love
Look what the nice women of the Go On Girl! Book Club have come up with to show their love for black authors! They were inspired by my gear to make their own using their own logo. Well done ladies! And thanks for all you do to support authors!If you're looking for some great reads check out the GOG reading list for 2010 and past years to 1991.
If you like book- and writing-related stuff, check out this Black Library Girl tee. When I finish my next project, this will be my reward.
FYI, I'm guest blogging at Nubian Lit tomorrow. I have a piece about how writing and gardening are alike. Check it out.
