BGG Book Review - Love's Troubadours: Karma: Book One



BGG stirs up everything that chic brown girls love – so why not include book reviews! We all love a good read so I’ve decided to occasionally incorporate book reviews into the mix.

First up, Love’s Troubadours: Karma: Book One, by Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn Leeke. If you haven’t heard of this extremely talented self-published author yet, trust me you will. Leeke’s debut novel tells the inspiring story of a young woman named Karma who loses her two most prized possessions – her artsy career and her ideal cosmopolitan life in New York City.

Although her broken spirit sends her on a downward spiral of self-doubt, depression and confusion, she is awakened by revelations that allow her to see that jobs and enviable lifestyles do not define her true purpose.

Love’s Troubadours is a well-written journey of introspection sprinkled with musical references that will make you take a closer look at your own life and recognize the importance of accepting one’s self for who you are. The book also demonstrates how the human spirit can prevail over any circumstance with the support and love of confidantes, family and friends.

The next time you’re in the mood to curl up on a comfy couch for a good read, grab Love’s Troubadours, – it will not disappoint.

I recently picked up The Color Purple. After watching the movie so many times and seeing the play I almost forgot how good this book is. Definitely a classic. Another great read is The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. It is an awesome story that brings out different relationships amongst women. I feel all women should read it.

@ Jeanie - You should definitely check it out...it's a great red.

@Kwana - I'm glad you like that I'm doing book reviews! I was a bit hesitant about it at first. :-)

@Torrance - I'd love to!

@Don - Yes, the human spirit is simply amazing!

@Kitty Vodka - That sounds like a great read!

@Erika - I've never read the "Color Purple." I think I just might after all of these years. I will check out "The Red Tent" as well!

Happy Reading!!
