Before I Read Sex Ain’t the Way to Love, Here’s What I’m Already Asking Myself by NWO Sparrow
5 Questions I Can’t Wait to Answer After Reading Sex Ain’t the Way to Love When I first heard about Tavia Mapp-Deterville’s new book Sex Ain’t the Way to Love, I was intrigued. The title alone had me pausing, because it hits on something that feels universal and yet deeply personal. As a man, I know this book is written primarily for women, especially Black women, but I could not help asking myself what lessons I might gain by listening in. Tavia is a music publicist turned author, and with this new release she is blending memoir and journal in a way that forces readers to not just read but to actually reflect. That alone makes me curious.

Drawing in the Sands by Zoe Klein
I finally finished the book Drawing in the Sands. Here is a little overview of the story. "Brilliant archaeologist, Page Brookstone, is convinced bones speak, yet none of the ancient remains she has unearthed during her twelve years of toiling at Israel's storied battle grounds of Megiddo has delivered the life-altering message she so craves. Which is why Ibrahim and Naima (in the summary, it says Aisha, but in the book, it's Naima) Barakat, a young Arab couple who implore Page to excavate the grounds beneath their house in Anatot, instantly intrigues her. The Barakats claim the ghosts of two lovers haunt their home, overwhelming everyone who enters with love and desire. Ignoring the scorn of her peers, Page investigates the site, where she is seduced by the undeniable force. Once Ibrahim presents Page with hard evidence of a cistern beneath his living room floor, she has no choice but to uncover the secret of the spirits. It is not long before Page makes a miraculous discovery - the bones of the deeply troubled Prophet Jeremiah locked in with an eternal brace with a mysterious woman named Anatiya. Buried with the entwined skeletons is a collection of Anatiya's scrolls, whose magical words challenge centuries-old interpretations of the prophet's story and create a worldwide fervor that threatens to silence the truth about the two lovers forever. Caught in a forbidden romance of her own, and under constant siege from religious zealots and ruthless critics, Page risks her life and reputation to deliver Anatiya's passionate message to the world." - From the summary in the book

"The Library Between Dreams"
I first found the library on a night when I couldn’t sleep. My mind had been restless all evening — racing thoughts, half-formed memories, a strange heaviness that kept me tossing in bed. Around three in the morning, I gave up on trying to force sleep and just let my eyes close. And that’s when I heard it: the faint creak of a door opening somewhere in the darkness of my mind.
