I loved The Secret Life of Bees. I think of it every time I eat a spoonful of honey, and it tastes better.

Alice Walker is another favorite of mine, especially since she brought Zora Neale Hurston's work out of obscurity and got it republished. Their Eyes Were Watching God is probably my favorite novel. (I adore the heroine, Janey.)

Blue (the color of sky when there are cumulus clouds) is my favorite color. I would love to see Asmara, which is also a beautiful name.

@ Superstar

It's a quiz, Teacher Lady. Just answer the questions.

@ Tanilan

Hi there! I think this is your second visit and I was rude by not welcoming you before. I'm very sorry. Welcome. Please come back.

@ Heart

I loved that book too. If you love honey, you must try this. It is altogether glorious.

Can you help me out with this one: Now is the Time to Open Your Heart (2004). I have never been so lost and confused in my life. I've tried to pick it up again 3 times to no avail.

@HDW

Sooooo cool!! Can you name an 80s rock band?

@ Sandra

Welcome. Anybody who calls me sassy-licious is welcome to spend the night anytime!!

Oooooooh. I love me some Lakisha Jones! Girl has got some PIPES, right? She has such a great story too. Single mom, taking care of her own...livin' the dream. I was in love with her since seeing her original audition! She's my winner...and if she loses, I hope it's the same way Jennifer Hudson lost. With better things to come!
