pick1917 and suffragettes are working to get women the vote. Bertha, a cabaret owner in Harlem, is a part of the movement even when others don‘t want her there. She‘s smart, strong and independent.
Amir is not legally in the US, but works for Bertha. As the two work together they become close. He‘s sweet and makes mistakes, but apologizes and respects who Bertha is.
I loved this novella. It‘s romance and a history lesson in a great book.
I love how this romance skillfully addresses race, women's rights, and voting rights in 1917 Harlem.

pickThis book! During the cusp of the Harlem Renaissance a juke joint owner is fighting to grant women the right to vote. Then she meets a Bengali-Muslim chef who begins to cook at her spot. Together they dance, fight the man, and fall in love. And isn't that what we all really want??
A peek inside the Holiday 2017 #EverAfterBox. Very awesome presentation, set up sort of like an advent calendar. There‘s one gift bag for each day of the first 24 days of the month. Each bag contains a little gift from a different author and some include cards with info on downloading an ebook (the tagged book was included as a download). I may have opened them all already 😉 Also includes a special bookish gift and a Christmas themed paperback.
My most anticipated of October is not yet listed. Hamilton's Battalion is three novellas by Alyssa Cole, Courtney Milan and Rose Lerner. Really, how can I not be awaiting this with open arms and grabby hands. #romantsy #Hamilton #uncannyoctober
