A collection of poems that are all in some way related to the vagina. This book gave the vagina a voice. Poems in this book will make you hate a man and other ones that can make you love a man. One of my favorites was titled Poetry Man Part 1. This poem puts me in the mind of the movie Love Jones. The first time that Darius sees Nina to be exact. Another poem that I thought was HILARIOUS was titled False Alarm. All I can say about that poem is it is ok to be small. LOL
Glisson did a great job with this book of poetry. I found myself able to relate to some of the poems. Some poems I found myself thinking like omg if she only could talk. And lastly some poems had to giggle and laugh. Some poems are short and some are long. But overall this book is great for females. It is our words from our special box.

Literary Tic Tok of animals. I never thought of at this age
reading a book where the animal, in this case cats, takes on real human
feelings and emotions. In a way it is kind of funny. One point in reading this
book, I could see the animals talking, drinking, and taking on real human
attributes. This book is an anthology. The
stories within these pages are well rounded. You can have a solid beginning,
middle, and end in each one. Every story has some type of meaning or thought
that the author is trying to get across. The story of Forgiveness took the
spotlight for me. In this very short but to the point story gives a great
example on how forgiveness should be granted and how all in the situation can
walk away stronger and better than they came in.
I am a big fan of short stories. These short stories are good
quality stories with an antidote. This is the first time that I have ever
encountered this. The illustrations in the book are very good also. There is a great
companionship shown between the stories and illustrations. They are vibrant and
full of color. With the story that I chose as my favorite, Forgiveness, I could
see the entire story in the illustration. Great job Omoruyi

The book begins with the wonderful characterization of Amanda herself. We learn about her likes and dislikes her, the people she knows and loves and the way that the mother watches over her daily with unconditional love. We are brought into the presence of the family as they sit down to eat and prepare for the attending of school the next day. She begins school and is a fantastic student. She enjoys her teacher and adores her classmates. An incident occurred that shows that Amanda’s character is outstanding. As a young girl, it was a very nice thing to do. Eventually Amanda has to go to another class. She is older and is reading and growing fast. She is a favorite in her calls and graduates with accolades. Amanda is a great gift to the people she knows, exhibiting kindness and consideration to those she comes in contact with. She is always helpful and giving. She loves to see others smile and tries to make sure that there is a reason for someone to do so in her presence. When she is not around, she is missed. Her parents are very proud of her and the things that she does both at home and at school. I gave it such a high rating because it is the example of how we should train our children to be and how they should conduct themselves in the home, in school, and in the community at large. We are to be productive citizens in our sphere and Amanda was the epitome of a good girl. Her parents raised her up well and her upbringing shows how she is brought up at home. I am proud of Amanda and how she goes forth in life, beginning early to impact lives of the people around her. I was glad to be a reader of this book and hated that it was over, wanting to see where Amanda went in life.

Never let the situation that you are in determine the future you will have is a great summary for this novel. Michael Maliele talks about his life. Throughout the novel he speaks about the ups and downs of his life. Yes he has had many trials and tribulations but in every situation he seems to find the silver lining in the cloud or situation. Even being diagnosed with epilepsy halt the plans he had for his life. Overcomer who became an achiever.
I would have to say this book was a little difficult to read. I find myself on some occasions wondering where the novel was going because of the incomplete thoughts. On the other hand, it was great to read about places in South Africa and find that place on the internet. It was always such a beautiful and breathtaking picture. I would like the author to know that the language barrier was not an issue. There were numerous editorial mistakes that contributed to the rating of this book.

FAME is a collection of various poems by Author Robert L. Horton. Poems in this book cover many subjects. I have to say that if the author was going for a well-rounded book; he did achieve that with this novel. Each poem has either a quote or a scripture reference at the end of it. This seems to drive the poem or subject of this poem a little further for the reader or in some terms giving clarification. If I had to pick at least two poems in this book that stood out to me they would be Burdens In Life and How To Make It Through Each Day.
Burdens In Life is a poem that is relevant for this time that we are living in. It is a poem that speaks of death. With so much death around us in large numbers, the poem will be will received. While reading this poem, I could see the RIP t-shirts, bookmarks, and social media posts.
Secondly I chose How To Make It Through Each Day. All I can say is simple and to the point. Who would have thought that a six lines with 2 words a piece would make a huge statement. They would make great affirmations to speak every morning.
