Book Talk Vol. 11

Hello Loves!

Welcome to Book Talk Volume 11!

Within the past few weeks, I met a new friend at school: Michelle. Now, Michelle loves to read and I work at a library. So, I grab a few books for her when I can. In the past week, I grabbed one of her favorite author’s: Zane. It was called Skyscraper. It’s an older novel that I read a year or so ago but still a great read.

In this African-Amercian Fiction novel, Zane has set up a list of characters that are are involved with a man’s, Thomalis, business. You have her wife Zetta; a woman who knows how to get around town. His best friend Barron; a man who he couldn’t imagine living without. His assistant Bradford; a pompous and rude man who thinks the company should be his. Bradford’s assistant Diana; the mother of male twins and a woman who needs a love life. Then there’s Anastasia, Zora, Chico, Donald. . . and many more!

The annual Christmas party is coming up sooner than the employees think. Everyone is ready to get want they want: sex, money, and revenge. Although everyone thinks they know whats going on, only Thomalis is ready to reveal what he worth.

Skyscraper is a mature novel but an excellent read nontheless. I can’t say anymore without revealing crucial parts of the book. You’ll have to read it for yourself!

Does this book sound interesting? Would you recommend it to a friend? Let me know and give me ideas of what else should be on my shelf.
