SUNDAY SPOTLIGHT is here! In the mood for a fast paced “crime” drama? Well you can’t do any better than Blacktop Wasteland. Once you start, you won’t stop until the end. A one sitting novel! I wrote ✍🏿 Ohh man. Buckle up.S. A. Cosby takes the reader on a ride that’s fast-paced and thrilling. Bug is a good man, good husband and striving to be the best father, better than his own. He is a solid mechanic but a superb wheelman. The kind of guy you can use to drive the getaway car in a robbery. He makes moves behind the wheel that make your jaw drop. And S.A. Cosby makes the reader feel the angst and anguish that Bug is dealing with. He writes in such a way that the reader must grapple with race, raising Black boys in an environment that doesn’t always see them as being worthy. What happens when the financial pressure is bearing down on you and you are offered a chance to be the getaway driver for a nice chunk of change? Does Bug make the right choice? Mr. Cosby does a superb job of exposing this dilemma with great writing always sprinkled with timely humor and a cast of characters that add to an exhilarating joyride. I’m hooked now, and will be reading his other works. He knows how to spin a good crime tale, but centered in human choices and emotions. Crime adjacent, if you will. Onto the next one. #ownvoicesreviews #bookstagram #bookpusher #blacktopwasteland #flatironbooks #sacosby #pushingbooksainteasy #sundayspotlight #r4 #goodblackreads #goodreads #blackbibliophile #bibliophile #houstonreads #booksarelife #blackbooksmatter #bookreview #bookrecommendation #makebookslitagain (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccc-A7SrWQe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"Blacktop Wasteland" by S.A. Cosby - Book Review @blacklionking73 @Flatironbooks #BlacktopWasteland #BookReview

“Blacktop Wasteland” by S.A. Cosby – Book Review @blacklionking73 @Flatironbooks #BlacktopWasteland #BookReview

“A mistake is a lesson, unless you make the same mistake twice.”

Beauregard Montage (nicknamed ‘Bug’) is a black man in his late thirties who is feeling the squeeze of financial commitments. His business is behind in its rent and the garage is losing business to a competitor. His boys need —and his daughter needs college tuition money. His mother is about to be turfed out of her nursing home due…

What makes an exceptional read for you? To me great books are entertaining - they’re fast-paced and hard to put down - they make me feel some emotion on a deep level - the main character will have some of the same thoughts that I have making me feel that someone else is like me. I have read a lot of great stories this year. These are the best of the best. A Caller’s Game by JD Barker is my top book so far this year. It is an insane story 🤯 that you should definitely read now.

Blacktop Wasteland is the buzzy book from SA Cosby. “Beauregard “Bug” Montage just wants to work on cars in his shop. At one time he was known as the best getaway driver on the East Coast. But he promised his wife that he was out of the life. But mounting overdue bills, braces, tuition - all make him try one last job. The unintended consequences put him and his family in danger and he must fix it.” Go read this book. The writing by Cosby is fantastic. You can feel the rumble of the engines - smell the exhaust - feel the anxiety and despair coming from Bug. And Bug is a guy that just wants to provide for his family. And not someone you want to mess with. An open ending but it works. Any man who has felt the consequences of his father’s sins will understand part of Bug. Great story from Cosby. #blacktopwasteland #sacosby #irodeinadusteronetime #appalachiannoir #southernnoir #bookstagram #bookshelves #bookswithcharacter #bookhoarder #bookworm #sodacityreads #bookreview #hardcover #bookcollector #bookhaul #bookspines #goodreads #homelibrary #fiction #crimefiction #thriller #bookcollection https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ6QgaHAtTe/?igshid=zeeg6851uyrd

First #chikfilatuesday read is Blacktop Wasteland by S.A. Crosby, a book that was a favorite for many last year.
