Book Of The Month
Carolynn's Book Of The Month.
I love a bit of dark humour and Honey by Imani Thompson has it in droves.
Before this book got published my interest was piqued when I heard of the student who 'accidently' kills the professor she disliked and then liked how it felt.
Choosing this as our book this month was a solid yes from me, Oliviyah and our team. I think it is the perfect spring read, a sure thing for lovers of My sister the serial killer.
The first time, Yrsa doesn’t intend to kill. But the Cambridge professor sitting opposite has manipulated her friend, stolen her research.
When she flicks the bee into his Sanpellegrino, she thinks he’ll get a nasty sting. Then he’s dead. And Yrsa, who – let’s face it – has been bored for a while, is alive.
Fiction Gift Box

Why can't Black people find a seat at the table?
If the same man sits down takes the menu from the woman without asking and tells her he will be ordering for her, she would be peeved.
