Throwback Thursday Jam – Sensuality, Isely Brothers
As promised, this week and next week’s Throwback is for the ole school! (Since we had two 90s Jams in a row.)
Throwback Thursday Jam – Practice What You Preach, Barry White
OK OK, this came out in the 90s but I couldn’t resist that voice! Lol. Ole school, I owe yall two weeks….
Wait for Me
Would you let me ribbon tie my waiting into your lap?
Take me dripping in mistakes like I got flaws for fragrance
Can you wait for me to get it right?
This belly
filled to the brim with passion
like I got fire clenched in my fists and a furnace in my throat
As if you’d just emerged from the safety of your mother’s womb
would you wait for me
to breathe life into your lungs
to breathe logic into your conscience?
Let kindness touch you gentle,
soft like pillow talk
or whispering prayers in a bowl of incense
Touch me endurance
and I’ll dip my hands into purpose
and feed you hope through a straw
So let the storms begin
let the winds blow
and the nations rage
let the heavens chop off pieces of ice for our tribulation
let hailstones come bungee jumping from the sky to put dents in our joy
and I promise you
if you wait for me
I’ll command my words to stitch you a smile
and in time
we will simmer tragedy
into the polished pillars
of diamonds in the ruff.
Wait for me.
90s Throwback Thursday Jam – Understanding, Xscape

Book bloggers actually do want to review your book! But we don’t have a lot of time so when you forget to include vital information or don’t follow the submission instructions, your requests end up in the trash bin. Here are 8 ways to convince me—and other book bloggers—to review your book:
There’s no reason to pile on and make your request email an epic read – that’s your novel’s job. When approaching reviewers keep your request on point.
