Number 44
I’m not going to tell you to have a Happy New Year and start some New Year resolutions to lose weight, stop smoking, attend church more, stay close to friends more, get out of debt, seek guidance in whatever you want, volunteer more, talk softly more and listen more. It's enough of that crap on TV. You get the picture, do what ever you think is right for you. Take your time and do your best. That’s the crutch of advice I can give.
I did not have much of a good year and so far, it’s not coming up roses for the new year. I’m trying, but it’s hard. With watching TV, listening to people, friends and family talk so bad about every got damn thing wrong with this person or the world, I’m getting a headache. What more do they want? How come some people can piss off and start some crap every single got damn day. Are they that miserable? Are they that angry? What more do they want? I’m sorry for being so down, I guess I’m beginning to feel and talk like them. I’m just tired of being sick and tired and if it wasn’t for that world (Reading Books) where I can go into and cut off the noise, I would lose more and more of my mind. I’m already crazy. It’s just not “the best of times, it’s the worse of times” and I got to figure out a way to climb out of this dark and small hole with no light. It’s just too dark and that bitch the Devil is sitting next to me laughing his head off and enjoying it. “Not today, I tell him. I'm climbing out with help from you know who.”
DEATRI KING-BEY - Picture Perfect - $6.99 - - - I received this comment from my friend Flashette who received it from Teresa Beasley of the APOOO Book Club. Flashette and I are members of The Literary Divas Of The Low country Book club. They are a beautiful group of African American women who read everything and I enjoy their company.
It amazes me that behind closed doors there can be a lot going in a family. Outside looking in readers will not believe there is anything wrong with the Reynolds in Picture Perfect by Deatri King-Bey. Anna Reynolds cannot take her husband’s stubborn and inconsiderate attitude. Anna realizes that if things are going to change in her life she will have to take matters into her own hands.
Jacob Reynolds loves his wife and son very dearly. Jacob’s past family issues have found their way into his present and he is not able to recognize the difference. Jacob is losing a battle with himself and once he discloses to his wife the reason the Reynolds’ life changes drastically.
Junior Reynolds is a gifted student who has found love across the street. Junior keeps a straight face but is dealing with his family issues in the wrong way. Junior will do whatever it takes to keep his family intact even if it means breaking ties with those around him.
Picture Perfect is a story about a family trying to get over their generational curses. However, while going through them they learn the true meaning of being a family. Readers will become frustrated with some of the characters’ behaviors and actions, but everything happens for a reason and the ending makes the frustration worth it. I recommend this book to others.

But when destiny unites their causes, the passion that draws Midnight into Nicholas’s arms is as dangerous as it is glorious—and it could spell disaster for them both.
