Walter Mosley’s ‘Little Green’ Out Now
The GREATEST of Gatsbys
The Great Gatsby is out now. I know I was slightly apprehensive about it a while ago, but maybe all the ads and coverage have saturated my brain because I desperately want to see it – the colors, the cinematography, the DiCaprio – I’m here for it.
Who’s going to participate in Gatsby shenanigans this weekend? Would it make you re-read the book?
Book Awesomeness: Eunique Jones Photography
Remember the totally adorable pictures you saw in during Black History Month with the slogan “Because of Them, We Can”?
People wanted more than 28 days of the inspirational images and now Eunique Jones Gibson of Eunique Jones photography is raising money on Kickstarter to publish a book of 365 days of uplifting adorableness. According to the Kickstarter page:
The feedback has been amazing, but the biggest request has been for a book that includes all 365 images. I could go the publisher route, but I truly believe that we can fund this movement. Here’s where the Kickstarter comes in. Funding this project would allow me to self publish a high quality, hard cover art book that will serve as a source of inspiration and education for all who come across it.
The series of photos, which featured the Benjamin Button-ized versions of black history icons, went viral because they were so spot on and cute! Check out the campaign here and support!

Mother’s Day Reads
It’s about that time to cook your mom breakfast in bed and make crappy cards to her how much you love her! Or, you could get a her a good book and a spa gift card and really make Mother’s Day worth her time. Check out a couple of recent releases that I am thinking of getting for my mom:
Newsletter + DopeReads Store
Hey friends,
Just a couple of things to make you aware of:
1. You can sign up for the DopeReads newsletter here to learn about the events and things that will be coming up for the summer time. The Baratunde Thurston book reading and DopeReads Happy Hour were lots of fun, so don’t miss out on the next event we have!
2. If you want to purchase a book you see on the site, you can go to the DopeReads Powell’s Bookstore site (independent bookstore) or the DopeReads Amazon store. A percentage of what you buy comes back to DopeReads. Support!
That’s it, hope you enjoy your Sunday

Spring Cleaning
So these are (some of) the books that I found while doing my spring cleaning. Most of them were trapped in the corners and crevices behind my bed, and a couple were located in weird places in my living room. For some reason my books sneak off to the oddest places.
Here’s what I’m currently reading:
What’s on your list for the weekend?
