QOTD: Is there an actor/actress that will automatically make you watch all their films or shows? For me Samuel Jackson is a favorite. His body of work is so extensive and I think he doesn't get the credit he deserves. He has played some of my favorite roles and I will watch anything that he is in. He always delivers. I was excited to receive this biography based on his life and acting career. Thanks to @hachettebooks @hachettego for the gifted copy. I've already been skimming through some of the stories and I am intrigued. Jackson's unique personality, wisdom and no nonsense attitude are unmatched. I can't wait to learn more about who he is behind the scenes. 💥SYNOPSIS💥 Samuel L. Jackson’s embodiment of cool isn’t just inspirational—it’s important. Bad Motherfucker lays out how his attitude intersects with his identity as a Black man, why being cool matters in the modern world, and how Jackson can guide us through the current cultural moment in which everyone is losing their cool. Edwards details Jackson’s fascinating personal history, from stuttering bookworm to gunrunning revolutionary to freebasing addict to A-list movie star. Drawing on original reporting and interviews, the book explores not only the major events of Jackson’s life but also his obsessions: golf, kung fu movies, profanity. Bad Motherfucker features a delectable filmography of Jackson’s movies—140 and counting!—and also includes new movie posters for many of Jackson’s greatest roles, reimagined by dozens of gifted artists and designers. The book provides a must-read road map through the vast territory of his on-screen career and more: a vivid portrait of Samuel L. Jackson’s essential self, as well as practical instructions, by example, for how to live and work and be. #BadMotherf*cker #SamuelJackson #HachetteGo #bookstagram #books #bookish #bookstagrammer #TBR #reading #bookrecommendation #biography #bookworm #nonfiction #booksbooksbooks #booksandart #booksandmurals #bookphotos #bibliophile #booklover #Blackactors #Hollywood #explore #literature #readersofinstagram #bookfeature #actors #behindthescenes #read #HBSocialClub #Brooklyn (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYFXhtdrsqo/?utm_medium=tumblr

M E T H O D MAN... M E T H O D MAN 🎵🎧🎶....spending the next 5-6 weeks in a boot because my ankle isn't healing properly. Lucky for me I have good books and music to keep me company! Nothing boosts my mood like a great hip hop playlist. QOTD: What song gives you a mood boost? Thanks to @hachettebooks for the gifted copy of From the Streets of Shaolin: The Wu-Tang Saga. This one released 7/6 so be sure to pick your copy. Wu-Tang Clan is one of my favorite hip groups of all time. You will often find me reciting lyrics at the top of my lungs when I'm in the zone. Reading about hip hop culture and history is one of my biggest passions so I am so excited to peruse these pages. It has so many great photos and interviews never seen before. 🎵 🎤SYNOPSIS🎤🎵 This definitive biography of rap supergroup, Wu-Tang Clan, features decades of unpublished interviews and unparalleled access to members of the group and their associates. This is the definitive biography of rap supergroup and cultural icons, Wu-Tang Clan (WTC). Heralded as one of the most influential groups in modern music—hip hop or otherwise—WTC created a rap dynasty on the strength of seven gold and platinum albums that launched the careers of such famous rappers as RZA, GZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, and more. During the ‘90s, they ushered in a hip-hop renaissance, rescuing rap from the corporate suites and bringing it back to the gritty streets where it started. In the process they changed the way business was conducted in an industry known for exploiting artists. Creatively, Wu-Tang pushed the boundaries of the artform dedicating themselves to lyrical mastery and sonic innovation, and one would be hard pressed to find a group who's had a bigger impact on the evolution of hip hop. #FromtheStreetsofShaolin #gifted #SHFernando #HBSocialClub #HachetteGo #HipHopBooks #HipHopHistory #BookPhotos #WutangClan #BooksandMurals #BooksandArt #Bookstagram #MusicLover #BookFeature #rap #Nonfiction #BlackIcons #reading #NewRelease #Hardcovers #TBR #HipHop #Brooklyn #bookdragon #bookish #bibliophile #biography #booklover #Hachettebooks (at The Bushwick Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSFdqO7LpFB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Pub Day! Thank you @hachettego and @hachettebooks for the gifted copy. Book Feature: The Puzzle Solver Authors: Tracie White with Ronald W. Davis, PhD “A renowned geneticist races against time to diagnose a malady that landed at his door… A complex, well-related story of medical detective work.” --KIRKUS 🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩🧩 I'm anxious to read this one because recently I have had some health issues that required seeing different specialists and I'm still dealing with some issues. Health literacy and health advocacy are so important especially if you are a woman or BIPOC. Ask as many questions as you need to until you understand all the information. Bring someone with you if you need to. Don't be afraid to get a second or even third opinion. Listen to your body since you are the expert. Do your own research using reputable sources, not Google please. Consult as many experts as you need to until you feel secure with the results. No one can advocate for your wellbeing the way you can. Medicine isn't a perfect science and some things take time to get them right. Be gentle with yourself through the process and make sure you have a great support network. #HBSocialClub #HachetteGo #HachetteBooks #medicalmemoir #nonfiction #books #bookstagram #ThePuzzleSolver #chronicillness #medicalprofession #genetics #bookfeature #bibliophile #booklover #bookworm #Ireadeverything #libros #booksarelife #bookssavelives #bookish #bookdragon #hardcovers #PublicationDay #medicalmysteries #puzzles #bookphotography #read #chronicfatiguesyndrome #reading (at Bushwick) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJr7ohughXc/?igshid=li6j6el5cxyn
