Never Tell a Black Girl How to Black Girl: Essays by Amena Brown 

320 pages Publisher Tiny Reparations Books Publication date

June 16, 2026

ABOUT THE BOOK

An irresistible delight, this hilarious and heartwarming essay collection gathers essential tales about growing up in the South, the pitfalls of date night, and why no one should ever tell a Black girl how to Black Girl.

Black women always find a place to meet: in the natural hair aisle, at Beyoncé concerts, even online in memes and catchphrases. This book is one of those places: a living room where readers can contemplate how a well-picked afro can defy the laws of physics and why boob sweat has to exist in the first place. Here, Black Girl is a verb. Here, Black women can Black Girl in every way we want to.

Amena Brown’s book Never Tell a Black Girl How to Black Girl blends storytelling, humor, and pop culture commentary to traverse the magic and wisdom she’s gleaned from being raised by Southern Black women, and supported by the community of Black women who hold her down today. After graduating from the International Black Girl Headquarters (the renowned HBCU Spelman College), Amena has built a career telling stories and celebrating Black womanhood. In her book, she shares stories of dancing in Janelle Monae’s “Tightrope” music video and partnering with Tracee Ellis Ross to compose odes to natural hair. She imparts essential life lessons from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, and tells hair tales, including wisdom on the ideal style for her first speaking gig at Essence Fest (box braids, 100 percent).

In the end, Brown shares that Black women are a whole world. A galaxy of customs, language, code, and unspoken understandings, all explored with humor and heart in this unforgettable book.

MY THOUGHTS

A nonfiction coming of age written through essays, poetry and just plain rambling thoughts.
Very insightful full of nostalgia we get a trip down the author’s memory lane. From her oh so important church life that influenced everything to her hair and going natural which was almost just as important to dating and food. Whatever the author was writing about it she does it with a sense of humor and full truthfulness. You get the good, the bad and the ugly of navigating Southern Black family culture.
Having read this, I have more of an understanding and appreciation and I hear your voice loud and clear!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

Nantucket Second Chances

368 pages Publisher Sourcebooks Landmark Publication date June 9, 2026

ABOUT THE BOOK

Nantucket is the perfect place for a new beginning.

Claire Shipman never imagined she’d be the single mom of a teenager, going through a contentious divorce, and unexpectedly pregnant. On the bright side, at least she’s on Nantucket, where she grew up, and where her mother and grandmother welcome her home with open arms.

For years, Claire lived an enviable Manhattan lifestyle. Until her ex had a marriage-ending affair and also lost his job and all their money. Claire’s high school friends invite her to their book club and an off-hand joke that she could sell one of her Hermes bags sparks a business idea. 

Her friend’s brother, Cody, is a furniture builder with a spare storefront. He’s initially skeptical about the prospects of a “used handbag shop”.

But Claire is determined. With the support of Lily, her mother, grandmother, old friends and new, she begins to build a true second chance at a new life.

MY THOUGHTS

This is my second read by the author; I discovered her last year when I read her Christmas book.
I also appreciate it being a clean read a well.
The book is warm, you feel a happy, good feeling while reading it and surely want to recommend it to a friend.
It’s a story of family and friends. I loved seeing the support the family gave to each other as they all lead similar yet different lives. A wife starting over in her late thirties getting a divorce and expecting a baby is not how she expected to find herself. A multigenerational read of strong women and I loved seeing how they are in each other’s lives and so supportive of each other. Even though the parents are divorcing I was happy to see the father is still there for his daughter strong as ever and wants to continue a relationship with her. I see the author has an extensive backlist for me to dive into and I look forward to it.

A Heart on Consignment (The Heart of the Amish)

259 pages Publisher Barbour Fiction Publication date April 1, 2026

ABOUT THE BOOK

Love Is Not for Sale
 
Full of faith, hope, and romance, this series takes you into the Heart of Amish country.
 
Despite knowing her parents are getting desperate for their only child to marry and give them grandchildren, Salina Stoltzfus is weary of seeking the perfect match. Every time she thinks she has found “the one,” he marries another.
 
The best way to forget you are the last woman any man in Havenlee, Indiana, wants to hitch his buggy too is to find something passionate to focus on. When the area is overrun with donations after a tragic storm, Salina suggests opening a consignment shop. The deacon supports the idea and offers his visiting nephew to help set things up.
 
After the embarrassment of having his fiancée call off their wedding, Seth Weaver takes his mother’s advice to leave Kentucky to stay with his uncle for a while. Unfortunately, Seth knows nothing about building furniture in his uncle’s factory, which is the only reason he agrees to help ready the consignment shop next door—not because of the little chatterbox working inside.
 
When Salina’s parents are caught meddling in her love life, she comes up with a crazy idea that might gain her some time and space. Could it be the road to happiness is paved with good intentions and epic fails—until we cross paths when the one made especially for us?

MY THOUGHTS

I’ve read other books by the author and it’s always my lucky day when I get to read another one.
I enjoyed reading Amish books with their slower paced lifestyle. This is a relaxing read.
Our story is The Heart of Amish country.
Our main character is being pressured to marry but she wants to marry for love and on her own terms.
With compromise, compassion, faith, trust, charity and love this emotional story evolves and I enjoyed it very much.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

Blog Tour for: A Nantucket Fling by Kathryn Freeman

A Nantucket Fling

Can a no-strings attached holiday fling really just stay casual?

Olivia is a fiercely independent woman climbing the ladder of corporate finance. But when her family demands she take time off to go to her niece’s bachelorette and wedding in Nantucket, she reluctantly agrees.

On the island, she catches the eye of Connor: a handsome, cocky, playboy type—also ten years her junior. Olivia’s sisters egg her on, encouraging a summer fling, but she’s more interested in catching up on her finance reading. Except…he’s funny and sexy, and doing her ego a world of good.

As their attraction steadily grows, Connor gets Olivia to relax her tightly held control and indulge in the fling she won’t admit she needs. But too soon, the holiday is over and they’re back home, living two very different lives.

And yet, neither can ignore the intense chemistry that didn’t go away after the summer. Are they just a Nantucket fling… or something much more?

Tropes:

  • Opposites attract
  • Age gap
  • Summer fling
  • No strings attached
  • Single dad

MY THOUGHTS

I’m so glad the cover drew me into this story; it reminds me of New England. Otherwise, I would have never had the pleasure of reading this author. I’m not sure how I’ve missed reading this author but now that I’ve discovered her work, I have some catching up to do.
This is really a lovely story.
Talk about opposites attracting, he’s a single dad with big dreams, she’s a strongly driven ladder climbing career woman.
She’s older, he’s giving off single playboy vibes.
An island vacation before her niece’s wedding has her meeting a hot hunk, he couldn’t possibly be interested after all she’s older.
Things just seem to click but being so career driven she’s not looking for a relationship, this is just a short fling for her.
He falls first.
He’s hiding a secret will it become curtains when she finds out?
The couple have quite the chemistry going on, lots of spice.
I enjoyed the progression of the story and how the couple works through problems.
I’ll soon be checking out what else the author has out.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

The Tiny Magic Bookshop: The charming and heartwarming cozy fantasy for fans of books about books new for 2026 (The Tiny Magic series Book 1)

322 pages Publisher HQ Digital Publication date June 4, 2026

ABOUT THE BOOK

There’s magic in a book …

Max always felt too ordinary for the magical village of Lampton. No place more so than her mum’s bookshop, where the recommendations are more than just a matter of taste – they’re magic.

When Max’s mum dies suddenly, she leaves her daughter Lamplight Books and makes one last wish: that Max would spend a year working in the bookshop before she sells it.

Max has no desire to uproot her busy life in the city to return to a place that always made her feel inadequate, but she can’t ignore her mum’s last request. So she decides on a trial run of two weeks – if she can’t even last that long, then a year would be impossible…

MY THOUGHTS

If you are in a reading slump feeling down, this is such a lovely book it’ll cheer, you right up.
Every once in a while, I’ll read a magical realism book, and it hits just right.
This one is so warm and charming. The writing just drew me right in.
Our main character is dealing with grief; it’s pretty debilitating to her.
She must run her mother’s bookshop, The Lamplighter. I want to work there, surrounded by books all day but even better the shop is magical. With its whimsical cast we find out just how incredible literature is when it’s recommended to others. Small town vibes and magical creatures including a special bookstore owl made the story feel like a warm reassuring hug. Looking forward to visiting this town again in future books.

NEXT BOOK IN THE SERIES

ABOUT THE BOOK

Something sweet is on its way! Return to Lampton for cosy treats and tattoos, coming soon!

Cam has spent her whole life in the quiet magic of her family’s bakery – flour-dusted, certain of her path, content. But when her brother arrives home with his fiancée, everything she thought she knew about her place in the bakery – and in her family – begins to crumble.

Convinced she’s being edged out of her own dream, Cam finds herself facing an impossible question: if she can’t have the life she always wanted, what can she do? Setting up her own tattoo stall at the summer fayre feels like the answer – she’s always been proud of the beautiful art on her skin, after all – but leaving her mark on strangers terrifies her in a way that baking never has.

The more Cam chases this new path, the more she suspects she’s running in the wrong direction entirely. She must figure out who she really is: not who her parents need her to be, not who Lampton expects, but someone altogether more herself.

It’s Ruby the fox’s first day at a new school. She’s a little nervous, but luckily, she has her tools to help: a tape measure to count her breaths if she feels overwhelmed, pliers to remind her to be flexible, and safety goggles to see things in a new way.

When Ruby finds out her class is having an egg drop competition, she wants to share her ideas, but she feels shy surrounded by all her talkative classmates. Can she use her tools to find the confidence to speak up, and maybe even make some new friends?

MY THOUGHTS

Ruby is nervous and has a little tool kit to help remind her to keep things calm.
One day at school she and her classmates are painting a banner.
Her ideas are different than her classmates and they keep telling her how to paint differently.
Becoming overwhelmed even her tools don’t help her this time.
She throws paint everywhere to let out her frustrations and instantly regrets it.
Pappy talks to the teacher, and Ruby apologizes to her teacher and friends and they’re very understanding.
A nice book to teach children it’s okay to be angry, we all feel this emotion, but we need to find ways to cope with it.

Dashing Through the Show: A Wiggle Butt Manor Mystery

273 pages Publication date June 16, 2026 Publisher ‏ : ‎ Level Best Books

Murder is under the mistletoe in the peaceful island community of Orca Cove. Holiday plans are put on hold to give attention to the grand opening of the Wiggle Butt Manor Agility Course. Special guest, Bently, is supposed to dazzle on the stage, but the locals have had enough of his snooty trainer, Miles Collins. So has his killer. When Charlie Calderbank finds Miles’ body in the back of her moving van, it becomes the season of giving…alibis, that is. Her hopes for a Christmas romance are dashed when the local hot cop is forced to pay more attention to the clues leading to her door than the chemistry that simmers between them.

Tainted treats, a widow who raises a toast along with a few eyebrows, a groomer with a grudge, an angry Santa Claus, a nosey reporter, and a canine custody hearing have Charlie spinning in every direction, juggling clues, dogs, and blizzards. She must identify the killer, or she’ll spend her Christmas behind bars.

MY THOUGHTS

This is a new to me author and series. I’m always on the lookout for a new cozy mystery series and one about dogs drew me right in. I couldn’t resist the cute cover either.
Orca Cove is set for the holidays, but any celebrations are put on hold with the opening of the Wiggle Butt Manor Agility Course.
Show dog Bently is a fabulous pup and highly trained, his owner Miles Collins, not so much. Unlikeable and argumentative towards everyone he’s made enemies everywhere he goes. Not surprisingly someone has had enough of his nonsense, and he’s found dead in the back of a moving van.
So many suspects, he’s made enemies with everyone.
I really enjoyed the dogs in the story; it added such a welcoming touch.
The story wasn’t overly Christmassy at all, but I did enjoy it a lot and now I’ll be looking for more to read in this series.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.

A small boat named ‘Wanderer’ battles waves near a lighthouse during a storm

MY THOUGHTS

This is a new to me author and it exceeded my expectations. When trying a new author, you just never know even if the book sounds interesting.
The book is just incredible. Once I started it, I became immersed in it.
The story is beautiful, it’s haunting, it has so many layers the more you read the more layers become peeled back like an onion. The characters are perfectly defined and the story well plotted. The description of Norway is stunning.
Such an emotional story, I wanted to read it quickly but yet I didn’t want it to end.
I am now going to see what else the author has out.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book.
All opinions expressed are my own.

About the author

UPDATE: My third novel, THE GLASS KEY, is coming in spring 2026! I absolutely cannot WAIT to share this story with you, a tale very close to my heart and inspired by the Norwegian Arctic island my husband and I bought when we were 29. But more on that soon …

If you’re new to my work, you might like to start with THE MIDNIGHT HOUSE, inspired by a message I found scratched into the rafters of our Irish home, a two-hundred-year-old stone building perched on the edge of the Atlantic. It said: ‘When this comes down, pray for me …’ and as I held that piece of timber in my hands, I was humbled that a person’s fingerprint could transcend time and I sat down that very night to begin a story, one that I hoped would capture that feeling of discovery. THE MIDNIGHT HOUSE was a Richard & Judy book club pick and translated into 8 languages.

My second novel, THE MOON GATE, uncovers the secret behind a mysterious legacy – Towerhurst, an old house crumbling in a rainforest. It takes place across three locations: Tasmania (my home state), London (where we rented a houseboat for many years) and County Kerry, Ireland (where I now live). Each of these places is special to me and THE MOON GATE is my most sweeping and beloved book, its narratives woven together by Banjo Paterson’s poetry.

I’m also a geologist who explores the world’s remote places. I’ve worked on five continents, and spend months at a time out in the wilds. It’s an amazing job, and writing novels provides a similar sense of wonder and discovery, though the warm office, fresh food and a shower in the evening make the conditions rather more comfortable! Being an author is also the perfect excuse to regularly curl up by a fire with a great book (which I can always say is research). I treasure my reading time, and I know you do too, so thank you for taking a chance on my books.

Come over to Instagram and Twitter (@amandageard) where I share plenty of photos of the wild settings in my novels. You can also find me on Facebook (@amandageardauthor).

Thank you for stopping in.
