I'm an ardent follower of the Oprah book club and I read a comment that got to me and evoked deeper thought. It was a statement by KingJames - "The" Lebron James. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEaXsKYn6Fz/?igshid=1dvp5sa6db5i2 Initially, I wondered why he would make such a statement which reveals serious insecurities and the need to be accepted when he can own his own heritage and story. Then on further thought, I started to have an issue with the term African-American. Africa isn't a country I thought to myself. Why would a group of people even want to identify with a term that seeks to muddle them up into a single category when they have come from various places... These issues are very deep and as I try to understand the different layers of it, I realise that I cannot get beyond the surface. It is heartbreaking that a Lebron -whose voice represents that of several millions will feel this way. True freedom is always found within. No one holds you captive but you.

Hunter’s Pursuit, by Kim Baldwin \ I think Kim Baldwin specializes in using the cold to bring lovers together in peril. This one is so exciting: Kat is a mercenary contemplating retirement in her hillside hideaway when a super babe with memory problems and assassins on her tail shows up at her door. Kat has to decide what to do about this woman, who may or may not be deadly, and what to do when she starts falling for this woman, which may or may not be sexy (it is, it’s very sexy). It’s one of those “oh no we are stuck in close quarters together, whatever shall we do” situations that only gets hotter with the threat of death or dismemberment lurking outside. Source
