Book on Subject: The Great Negro Plot: A Tale of Conspiracy and Murder in 18th-Century New York by Mat Johnson (2007).
I own a signed copy of Mat Johnson's book. I had a chance to attend his book reading in early spring. He seems like a really nice guy and I'm looking forward to reading his book. It's part of my summer line up. I have an idea of what I'll be reading this summer, but I need to "line" them up and get started. If you're like me you like to stay on the subject. In other words, if I'm reading about slave mutiny then I'll read about three other books on the subject. I don't know...I guess I'm hooked on African American 
history and the past. I mean, just look at my screen background at work. Yes, a field of good ol' southern cotton. I don't keep this picture as my background, but today was as good a day as any. Besides, it is part of my past and also part of my attire today because I'm wearing jeans. Enjoy your weekend. Peace~

I know. :)The key is to stop buying books so that I can get rid of list. Enjoy your weekend.
Thank you so much for stopping in. Please come back to visit. Take care.
Thank you. I know all about the little extra money. :)I stay in a used bookstore. Enjoy your weeekend. Peace~
Enjoy your weekend/ new blogger to your site, saw your link and luv your pov.
Ahh...a kindred spirit. :) I used to think that there was something wrong with me for loving that history. I found out that the love of that history is honoring the ancestors who lived it. Thanks again. Peace~
I hope we can get a comprehensive review from you.
Unfortunately, I am too scatter brained & n the go to buckle down with a book. As a matter of fact Simon & Schuster sent me a book last simmer to do a book review on & I am still reading. Sad: I know.
Peace,

Ms. Danticat is a brilliant writer. I've only read Krik Krak. I have more to read. I'm sure that it will confirm what I feel about her as a writer.
