Hey y'all! I hope y'all are having a great week so far. It is the start of a new month-- can y'all believe that, it is the start of August! Where is the year going? July just seemed to fly by and I can't wait to see what August has to offer. Since it is the end of July that means it is time to share my monthly reading list with y'all. I have a mixture of new and old books on my list and love that I get that great mixture and can share it with y'all.

~THE LAST BLACK UNICORN BY: TIFFANY HADDISH | Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money—as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman—to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend. None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.Tiffany can’t avoid being funny—it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.

~DREAM BIG BY: BOB GOFF | Bob Goff Is on a mission to help people recapture the version of their lives they dreamed about before fear started calling the shots. He wants them to dream big.
