📚🎬Reading everything EXCEPT my physical TBR🤷🏽‍♀️

追加: 2026-05-18

[00:00:02][bell] [music] [singing] [music] [singing] >> Hey [singing] hey y'all, what's up?

[00:00:19]Welcome, welcome back to my channel. My name is Dereka and you're watching Shelf Love with D. Welcome back. Welcome back to another weekly wrap-up of my reads and streams. Y'all, let's go ahead and address the elephant in the room.

[00:00:34]Y'all are truly getting the real, real.

[00:00:36]It is a Sunday afternoon after church. I am in comfy clothes. I'm ready to curl up on the couch on flow.

[00:00:43]Paid her visit, you know, she's never really welcome. So, I have balled eyeballs today.

[00:00:49]I'm going to finish this wrap-up and stretch out on the couch and enjoy the gumbo that my husband is making and just relax. So, this is what it is. All right. So, before we jump into this wrap-up, let's go ahead and take attendance. Please like, comment, share, subscribe. Drop your favorite emoji, a green heart, book stack, whatever. Just let me know that you were here today rocking with me in yet another video. All right, so moving on. This week I decided to change things up a little bit with my [singing] weekly wrap-ups and try to record my thoughts and feelings right when I finish the book.

[00:01:28]So, maybe so a little more in like real time. Not exactly sure where how I like this, if I like it, if I feel like it's giving me enough time to kind of process what I read or not. So, I'm not sure if I'll be sticking with this, but I thought it would be fun to kind of change it up a little bit and maybe and it may be something that I do every so often.

[00:01:48]I thought it would help with those books that were especially touching to get those like raw emotions and um and feelings. Um you know, >> [music] >> right as I conclude the book, but we'll see.

[00:02:02]So, let's go ahead and get into this wrap-up.

[00:02:06]All right, y'all. So, I am trying out a new thing where I am doing my wrap-ups or my sharing my thoughts as I finish a book. I don't know if I will be able to keep this up with home life and everything, but today I got the time, so I'm going to go ahead and do it. Any who, Emma Cline, The Guest. I literally finished that book and was like, "What did I just read?" Paperback shawty, come on. Let's Let's have a talk. Let's have a talk. So, this book very much reminded me of the black version of Luster. I don't know if y'all have read Luster or not. Luster was a womp-womp for me. Both books started pretty like Well, I'll say The Guest was a bit more exciting on the start um than Luster, but it started with all these things happening um where she is like using people's for her gain. So, she may then go on a date with an older man and then may, you know, search his apartment or his home for expensive things or if he purchase her purchases her gifts, she'll keep the tags or she'll keep those items and and sell them. And it just kind of is like a continuous cycle. So, we are following this girl as she literally goes from one situation to the next. She just kind of She very much takes life on the chin very well. Like she If she gets hits with a blow or hurdle, she's picking back up, pivoting, and moving on. Love that for her. But, the book was very much giving like, "Oh, it's going somewhere. It's going somewhere." Especially when she started dating the boy who she didn't realize how young he was and he was being very clingy. And I'm like, "Oh my gosh. Like this is about to be Oh, this is about to end on a on a climactic note." And literally, it ended with her walking into like After a while, her whole um plan was like, "I need to get back to this guy named Simon." because she felt like Simon was going to be the you know like her meal ticket or whatever. And but she had to get through the end of the week or so for his party. And she made it to the party.

[00:04:02]She saw him. Oh, do I want to say the end?

[00:04:06]Okay, I'm going to say it. This is a spoiler. So if you want to hear it, skip past this. She literally makes it to the party, locks eyes with him and it's like the end.

[00:04:14]I'm like, what? What? What What is that?

[00:04:18]What is that? This book did not need need any like um cliffhanger cliffhanger ending. It definitely much needed to be wrapped up and could have been wrapped up. I have no idea why it ended the way that it did. And now a lot of the good reads um comments make a lot of sense. And I would may put some up on the um screen here just kind of highlighting some of the ones that I saw that I was kind of confused about because I'm like, what are y'all talking about? Because I was enjoying the book at the start of I really was enjoying the book and I thought it was going to go somewhere where like all these bad decisions she's made she's made has finally caught up to her.

[00:04:55]But no.

[00:04:56]I really don't even know what the end is supposed to mean. I don't foresee this being a a a a book that continues like because why?

[00:05:06]There's no need for it. But yeah, that fell way flat for me. I had my hot my hopes set high cuz it just felt like it was building up. She was making kind of like one bad decision after another but then pivoting and then you know, trying to make another and trying to do better.

[00:05:23]But no, it literally was like the end. I was like, are you kidding me? That That's it? That paperback shawty paperback shawty paperback shawty. What am I missing?

[00:05:37]What am I missing? Like uh I know I I saw your rating on there and I was like, okay, cool. I could I was leaning towards four stars for this book. I definitely knew off top that it wasn't going to I won't say off top, but I knew after a few chapters that that it wasn't going to be five star. Um, but I at least was thinking I was going to give this a four. But that ending, I can't I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. I cannot believe it.

[00:06:04]I can't I cannot believe it, but that's that. And I mean, I guess it is what it is. I like the audio narrator. Um, her name is Carletta Car- something. I'll put it on the screen. I love I love her cadence. I love how she reads and so I'm interested in reading more books by her.

[00:06:20]Looks like when I looked her up, she's got like over 200 and something books.

[00:06:22]So that's cool. I'll have to look um, for another book that may interest me because I really did like hearing her voice reading this story. But yeah, y'all. Whomp whomp. That was crazy. That was crazy. Definitely fell flat, but it be's like that, right? So that's it for now. I'll holler back at y'all when I finish another book.

[00:06:44]As y'all know, me and Books with Bonnie, hey girl, hey, are doing a buddy read for the product plan four and I think we are also going to move on to product plan product plan five and read that together. So I'm going to enter some clips [music] and some of our messages going back and forth while this book stressed us out to give you guys a little taste of what we were going through in this book. Yes, yes, yes, the product plan should come with a warning.

[00:07:10]It will have you stressed, >> [music] >> flying up on the wall, throwing books.

[00:07:14]Well, you might throw your books. I'm going to throw mine, but nevertheless, it will have you stressed out, but it's worth the read. [music] Um, we are finishing out the series together and I'm so excited to see how this all leads into Ethic so I can finish out that series. I'm going to go ahead and give y'all a snippet of just how stressed out we were reading this book. Like I'm so glad I got to do it with Bonnie because then I wasn't going to do it alone and she was just so much fun and made it that much and made it that much more enjoyable and possible to get through.

[00:07:44]All right, let me let y'all see this foolishness. All right, y'all. Never mind the mess. I'm in the middle of folding laundry.

[00:07:53]I am at the tail end of uh product plan for love and war.

[00:08:01]I am so disappointed in Indy. If you know, you know.

[00:08:06]Like, are we still supposed to like Indy? Are we still supposed to want them together?

[00:08:12]This Parker chick, are we supposed to be rooting for her now? Like I'm so mad at Indy. And then maybe that's my bad.

[00:08:22]Maybe that's my bad. I put him up here with ethic thinking that he's that ninja.

[00:08:28]But he's fake.

[00:08:31]He's a wannabe.

[00:08:33]And I'm so disappointed. Like, you literally have everything that you've been fighting for in book one, two, and three, and early part of book four.

[00:08:42]And now suddenly you're going to mess all that up.

[00:08:49]For what? For what? For what? Cuz I believe I know how this ends. So, why are we causing all this mess in the middle? Like, I am so frustrated. I think this is probably one of the first books where I have been genuinely upset with a male main character. Because what the heck are we really doing? What has all this soap opera hood BS been for? Like, what is the point of it all? Like With that being said, >> [laughter] >> I paused.

[00:09:32]Uh I went to Libby.

[00:09:36]Went ahead and checked out book four or book five, my bad.

[00:09:40]Because I got to wrap this up. Book five is the last book in the series.

[00:09:44]>> [gasps] >> And then I can carry on with the Ethics series now knowing everybody's backstories and all that. But I love Ethics. So far Ethics has been a man's man, the type of man that I would go for, the type of man that I consider like the standard as far as loyalty, honesty.

[00:10:05]Um so far Ethics has been that.

[00:10:08]Sometimes he's been a little too um understanding or tolerable tolerable with the women in his life, just a little bit.

[00:10:16]But Indy, I hope that before this series ends, that Indy's reputation is um salvaged. Because right now we're throwing him and all his relationships in trash.

[00:10:32]>> [laughter] >> All right, let me get back to this book, girl.

[00:10:38]I have so many words. When I say I am sick of the buffoonery, cuz at this point it's buffoonery, right? Is it just me? Okay, I already was over them in the last book.

[00:10:51]I was like, okay, y'all doing a lot. But you know what? I'mma hold in. I'mma hold in. I'mma hold in tight. But at this point, Indy, you're an addict. You have a different form of addiction, and it is chaos and nonsense. Because what? Why are we even here?

[00:11:11]Who called like Who First of all, I don't appreciate her her just popping up at a wedding. Because sir, you were just head over heels in love with this other woman. You went to your mom's crib in the middle of the night, remember?

[00:11:23]Remember how you were going to stick it through thick and thin? And here we come, some girl from the blast from the past.

[00:11:30]Also tell tell me tell me how all of a sudden you are so in love with somebody else and you have all these feelings and you're unsure. Not to mention, their relationship was like before he became the man that he is now.

[00:11:47]So, now we talking about a blast from the past, but also maybe even puppy love, childhood love, I don't know. I don't know what to label it. But, baby, what? Andy, you pissing me off.

[00:11:58]And I hate I hate a cheater. I hate a cheater.

[00:12:02]He making me mad.

[00:12:04]And then all he can say for himself is, "Oh, I just have a lot of feelings and I'm unsure." At this point Yaya, get up out of that girl.

[00:12:13]You you do your thug thizzle cuz uh what? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:12:18]I'm like a couple chapters left.

[00:12:20]>> [laughter] >> And I don't know if there's a form of redemption for me or their relationship at this point.

[00:12:26]Yaya and him has gone through Listen, Yaya has literally gone through the flames of hell.

[00:12:33]The flames to get there for them to be together.

[00:12:38]And now it's oh, I'm not sure. I don't know.

[00:12:43]Boy!

[00:12:45]He getting on my nerves, ugly little stupid boy.

[00:12:47]>> [laughter] >> I ain't got no sense. I I baby if this ain't perfection at the end of this, I don't know what could possibly be valuable enough for me to continue.

[00:13:01]Cuz at this point, sir, go on about your day. Everybody stupid. Cuz you dumb, you want me to be dumb, and now she dumb because she just I don't even know anymore. At this point, everybody just peace out. Leave each other alone cuz the addiction to chaos is crazy. The self-sabotaging crazy.

[00:13:18]It's just crazy.

[00:13:20]I don't know.

[00:13:21]I I don't know.

[00:13:24]I don't know.

[00:13:25]>> [laughter] >> I'm just going through the emotions. At this point. I'm ready to get off of the roller coaster. I think I'm getting sick.

[00:13:32]Good luck, girl.

[00:13:34]>> [laughter] >> Girl, I just finished this hot funky mess of a book.

[00:13:45]I don't even care about I don't even care about the wedding. I don't even care about them as a couple now. Like, I think if she wanted us to care about them as a couple and be excited for their nuptials, then the whole Parker business should have been handled differently.

[00:14:04]That's all I'll say to that. But, girl, >> [laughter] >> Ya-Ya's life, like I said, is always hanging in the balance. She get rescued and allow herself to still be put back in some mess. Like, you ain't got to threaten my life but once. What she say on What's Love Got to Do with You? You ain't got to hit me but once. Like, for real.

[00:14:27]>> [laughter] >> That's all it takes. Yes, this is a bunch of foolishness. Yes, it is a messy time, but it's a good time. It's a good stress. It's not I think it's I can accept the stress cuz it's not real life or not my real life. It's not my reality.

[00:14:46]Like I said, I can I can deal with this stress cuz it's not my reality.

[00:14:52]Um I just I don't even know what to say.

[00:14:57]I am glad that Ethic got up out of that mess, though. Like, you know what? I'mma let y'all have it. I see this is what y'all do.

[00:15:05]>> [laughter] >> And I'm on some other stuff. So, I love that about Ethic cuz he That's the type of guy that he is, you know? But, I don't even know what to say. I don't know what to say. But, thank you, girl, for coming on this wild and crazy ride with me.

[00:15:19]>> [sighs and gasps] >> Oh, I know you said if the end wasn't perfect, you don't know if you could make could commit to the fifth book, but boo, we we already at book four. What's what's one more book of foolishness? I hope you'll join me on that ride. Thanks, girl.

[00:15:37]I just threw my book across the room.

[00:15:42]I just finished.

[00:15:45]I have I I words.

[00:15:49]When I say I'm ready to fight.

[00:15:52]I'm ready to throw hands. Because what do you mean y'all STILL GET MARRIED?

[00:15:56]WHAT?

[00:15:57]I'M STRESSED.

[00:15:58]>> [laughter] >> I HOPE YOUR volume is down cuz I know the babies are close. But why would why why at this point why?

[00:16:08]And then mama come girl, like y'all all crazy and spot on when it comes to ethics. He's over it. And that's how she should have been in the in the beginning. Oh, y'all doing some crazy stuff. Let me get up out of here.

[00:16:22]He the only one with some sense.

[00:16:25]Only person with some sense.

[00:16:26][clears throat] Girl, I'm going to have to read the next one because what what are y'all what are y'all doing?

[00:16:33]Look, girl, I just came from my library yesterday. I don't have to go back up there tomorrow.

[00:16:40]Mama.

[00:16:41]Y'all.

[00:16:43]Mama.

[00:16:45]Mama.

[00:16:47]I'm putting my cigarette out.

[00:16:51]>> [snorts] [laughter] >> I just finished book four of the product plan.

[00:16:58]Y'all, why have I committed to this nonsense?

[00:17:03]I don't know. It's foolishness. It's like reality TV. It's like 90-day fiance. I I know these the show is going to pee me off.

[00:17:17]I know I'm going to be screaming and fussing at this TV. Like, why are you doing this? Why are you making this choice?

[00:17:23]But, I'm still watching it and I'm committed to seeing it through to the end.

[00:17:27]That's how I feel about Book Four. That's how I feel about this Prude Planet series. As I have said in every wrap-up, it is a ghetto hood soap opera.

[00:17:39]Full of drama.

[00:17:40]Twists and turns but that are unnecessarily that are unnecessary but happening due to people's foolish decisions and addiction to chaos and drama. But, I'm here for it.

[00:17:58]I'm eating it up. I'm eating it up.

[00:17:59]Doing the buddy read with uh Bonnie has made it that much more enjoyable cuz I have somebody else to share my frustrations with.

[00:18:08]I am just like, what in the world? And poor Yaya. Poor Yaya. Girl, are you a cat with nine lives? Like, if you know, you know. I don't want to give too much away.

[00:18:20]Y'all, this series is a hot, funky, messy good time. Like, it will have you upset. It will have you fussing at these fictional characters, throwing the book at the wall, sliding down the wall, putting it down to take a break cuz you're like, this is just nonsense. This is unnecessary. It's foolishness. It It It's crazy.

[00:18:42]But, you'll come back for more. You will come back for more even though you know it's bad for your heart.

[00:18:47]I am still committed to the series. I have already checked out Book Five and that will conclude the Prude Planet series. I'm so excited. I've never finished a series that was more than like two books. Well, three, I guess cuz I'm we'll count the Curvy Girl series.

[00:19:01]And I ate this up, y'all. Yes, it had me stressed out, but it was a good time.

[00:19:06]And if you are for messy good times, if you are for books that will just keep that will have you fully engaged and invested. This product planners is if you love urban fiction. Now, you have to enjoy reading urban fiction. I highly recommend this book.

[00:19:23]Even though it is frustrating, I give this series a five-star because and I know I still have one more book to go, but she gave us what we want in these books. We want to feel for these characters. We want to be invested in each book. We want to keep coming back for more. Even if we are repeat often when we come back for more, we are still coming back. We're still circling the block. So, she's doing a good job.

[00:19:47]Like I said, enjoying it and can't wait to get to book five and I will keep y'all posted.

[00:19:54]So, today is Friday, May 8th and I have just started um What the heck? Dear Debbie and I just wanted to notate that at 15% into the book, I want to buy this book.

[00:20:09]And I'm saying five stars no matter how crazy the ending may be because I mess with Debbie.

[00:20:16]Debbie don't play about people who mess with her, who try to play in her face.

[00:20:21]And although I could never allow myself to respond or react the way that she does, sometimes I just wish that I could. Sometimes I want to just pause reality and be able to respond the way I want to respond, act out the way I want to act out. And and then Paul unpause and start back life in a very mature grown woman fashion. I like those parts of the movies where like you see the person like about to snap on their balls or something and then they like punch them or cuss them out, say everything they're thinking in their head and you like, "Yeah." And then you come to find out like they were just daydreaming about it and wishing they could. So, I mess with Debbie. No matter how crazy this book may be, no matter how it may end, I'm saying five stars because I mess with Debbie.

[00:21:06]All right, y'all. So, the time is about 8:45 p.m. Saturday, May 9th, and I have just concluded Dear Debbie.

[00:21:18]And as y'all know, Freida is going to be true to herself, right? True to her standard of writing. It was a foolishly good time, ridiculous hot mess, like so far-fetched, right?

[00:21:37]>> [sighs and gasps] >> Not really realistic at all, but it was a good time, and that's why Freida can get away with doing what she does in writing the books the way that she does, because it's still a good time.

[00:21:51]This is now my second book by Freida, and I've enjoyed it. My first one was The Housemaid. I've heard um What's the Never Lie?

[00:22:01]I think that's what it's called. It's a good one.

[00:22:05]But, like I said, this is my second book by her. I enjoyed it. It's just ridiculous. You just got to laugh your way through it, but like I said before, I stand by Debbie. She don't play with nobody that play with her, you know? So, uh just it I think it's one of those things, like I said, if you could pause real life and just you know, clap back at everybody that tries to clap at you, and you know, really teach people how to treat you, but you know, I feel like Debbie um I feel like Freida does a good job at those thoughts that sometimes we have in our head of what we wish we could do, the way we wish we could react, um the way we wish things would turn out if we did allow ourselves to react that way, like, "Oh, I wish I could beat this person up and not go to jail for assault." Or, you know, "Oh, I wish I could tell this person all You know, whatever." Like, I feel like Freida does a good job with that, but um I had a good time with this one. Freida is still cool in my book. I will be reading more by her.

[00:23:04]Um and I will probably I went back and forth with rating this book 3.5 to four stars or I'll say 3.75 No, 3.5 to four. I'm I'm I'm struggling only because I did enjoy this book. I did like Debbie, but I did not enjoy it more than I enjoyed The Housemaid.

[00:23:23]So, that's kind of where I'm at with that, but I enjoyed it, y'all. I enjoyed it. Frieda is going to be Frieda and either you love it or you hate it, you know, but she's that friend that >> [gasps] >> she's a hot mess, but you know that she's a hot mess and you just let her be her, you know? If you're going to read her, you have to know that she is who she is.

[00:23:45]Don't you know, don't acknowledge who she is.

[00:23:50]Read her books and then complain about her books being ridiculous. She writes ridiculous books, but they're entertaining. So, that's it on that, y'all. Um There was a one other book that I didn't do a wrap-up for because I decided after I had finished it like days later that I was going to do kind of do these like in the moment um >> [clears throat] >> wrap-ups and that is Nightcrawling by Lea or Layla Mottley, the girl the author of um The Girls Who Grew Big and um as I'm reading that, it was crazy because I kind of felt like the writing at times felt a little on the uh mm I don't want to say like childish Sometimes the writing or description of certain things or the way she got really really really wordy and descriptive with some things like it kind of ran on a couple of times it felt like a young person and um as I got done I got done reading it and was looking into the book, I realized she wrote that book when she was 17. That So, that had me kind of reviewing the book a little differently because to write a book uh like that at 17 says a lot.

[00:25:06]It does read at times kind of young, but knowing that she was 17, I'm like, "Hmm, is this a five star?"

[00:25:15]>> [snorts] >> So, um I would with knowing that, I kind of, you know, reevaluated some things and I I think I'm going to land on a four star because I did not like the ending at all. I was very disappointed with the ending. I felt like so many questions were left unanswered. So many loose ends were not tied for me.

[00:25:37]But overall, it was giving very much um kind of like Monday's Not Coming.

[00:25:43]Um this book tugged at my heartstrings.

[00:25:46]My heart just felt so heavy for Uh what was the little boy's name? I want to say Trevor. And um the main male character whose name I can't remember right now, but I'll put both of them on the screen. My heart just ached for them like just what she felt that she had to do in order to survive at times, you know, wanted to beat her brother up because he was not looking out for her as a brother a big brother should. He was failing her when all they had was each other, you know. Um it's a very heavy read. Um like I said, you will not feel satisfied at the end. You will not feel like things are concluded or wrapped up at the end. But um I I did think that it was well written, especially again, for her to be 17 years old. Um and I can see the maturity and um the refining of her pen as she got older, you know, when she wrote um The Girls with Group B. So, um finally got around to reading Night Crawling or Night Crawler.

[00:26:48]Um and even learned what, you know, that term meant. Um I did enjoy the book. It like I said, it was giving me Mondays not coming vibes. I just was not satisfied with that ending at all. I I couldn't give it five stars, but kudos to her for writing that book at 17.

[00:27:04]That's that's amazing. So, can't wait to hear more about that author and that's that. I'll get back to y'all when I have another book or something to review. I feel like pretty much all the books that I read did not give me like that concluded feeling aside from Debbie Dear Deb. Yeah, I feel like she kind of wrapped up everything and tried her best to tie those loose ends, but the one that I feel um like really got me interested, really made me feel something, really took me through it would be "Prodigal Plan Four".

[00:27:39]Yeah, I would say that was the one that I sat with a bit longer than the other books.

[00:27:45]The runner-up for that would be "Night Crawlers" or "Night Night Crawling", I can't remember.

[00:27:49]The only thing with that book that was just really disappointing was that it didn't answer enough questions for me.

[00:27:55]It didn't tie enough ends for me. I was not happy with that ending. I was not satisfied with that ending, but overall it was a good book and I would recommend it. So, that's it on my reads. Now moving on to my streams. So, this past week I restarted "Good Girls", which is on Netflix. I watched this many years ago when it was, you know, when it had first came out. However, the last season took so long to come out interest in it.

[00:28:23]And whenever I would try to start it back, I just was not being reeled in.

[00:28:27]So, I'm like, let me start it over and, you know, kind of refresh my memory on what hooked me to the show in the beginning and it is actually working.

[00:28:35]Like, I'm being reminded of why I was really into this show. Y'all, if y'all have not seen it, go and watch it. It is so funny. Um it's about three friends, two of them are sisters, and they all have some financial issues where they are needing money like right now. Well, they have this crazy idea to rob this grocery store, which is not a spoiler.

[00:28:56]It lets you know right off jump, one of the girls works at the grocery store.

[00:29:00]So, they rob this grocery store as mothers, and it's just hilarious. Like these women coming in like, I don't know, it's it's just so funny. So, they rob it, and they are successful with with the robbery.

[00:29:12]Um but, during the robbery, one of them has a telltale um on their person that anybody would be able to identify. And so, uh that kind of snow starts a snowball of events. But, y'all, it is comical. It's relatable. It I I just enjoy. And then, all the ladies love uh I cannot think of what his name is on the show. I'll put it on the screen.

[00:29:37]Ladies think he's like a hotty-boom-a-lotty, but and that's using that term is probably really showing my age, but it is what it is. I highly recommend that show. It is so funny. Also, while dealing with real-life things. Just they run into one obstacle after another. Like I said, if you have not watched it, but you want to laugh, um I highly recommend it. So, the next thing that I watched was um another cooking show my husband and I stumbled across on Hulu, which is called The Secret Chef, y'all. This may be my most favorite cooking show. And I love me some cooking shows. I love me cooking competition, whether it's barbecue, um Hell's Kitchen is up there. Chef Ramsay is the one that I I watch everything of his, but this one this one might have might have knocked all those down. Like, Secret Chef. And what's crazy is that it only has one season. I don't get it. I don't understand. I don't know why. Cuz I love the way that they they did the competition. Like, I love the surprise element. I it if you are into cooking shows, highly recommend that one. And then, the other thing that I started was with my kids called Lord of the Flies, I think the Lord the Lord of the Flies on Netflix. I think we are at about on episode three or four.

[00:30:52]They're wanting to continue it. Mom is not wanting to continue it, so I don't know if we will or not. I do know that it is a book originally, and so this is a mini series.

[00:31:02]I think it's a mini series. Anyways, I know it's meant to be like very like Stephen King-ish with the the instrumental sounds of like when something scary, you know that little shriek shriek sound, and it's meant to be very kind of dark and it just is not holding my interest, and I have no problem with like cartoons or YA shows or things like that. This is just not doing it for me, but to each his own, you know. So, let me know down in the comments what you've been watching lately. I am always looking for new series to watch, new movies to watch. So, if you have any recommendations, let me know down in the comments. Also, let me know if there's a book that you've read this past week that you would recommend to me. Y'all already know I'm always looking for new authors, looking to expand my genres and things like that. So, I'm always open to recommendations, but that's it, y'all.

[00:31:54]I'm about to go enjoy my Sunday. I pray that you are too. Happy Mother's Day, whether you are biological mother, a stepmother, a bonus mother, a surrogate mother, adoptive mother, a play mama, or whatever it is. I just want each of you to know that you are needed, that you are appreciated, and you are a blessing to those around you. I pray that you enjoy your day, and until next time, don't forget to show yourself some love today.

[00:32:21]Happy Mother's Day Happy [music] Mother's Day to you. Happy Mother's Day Happy Mother's Day Happy Mother's Day to you. to you.
