Am I the only one who didn’t know New York Times bestselling author Sister Souljah released a new book this month? If I am, oh well, better late than never.
MIDNIGHT is the follow-up to Sister Souljah’s successful 1999 debut, The Coldest Winter Ever. Following the popular character MIDNIGHT, it’s more of the background story of his life. FYI: As reviewer mentioned, if you are looking for a sequel to The Coldest Winter Ever, you will be very disappointed. Though the story is about the character Midnight from the Coldest Winter Ever, this book is about his life before the Santiagos. As a matter of fact, the oldest he gets in this book is the age of fourteen.
Atria Books launched MIDNIGHT on November 4th with a major national publicity tour and a multi-media promotional campaign. MIDNIGHT hit #7 on the New York Times bestsellers list after its first week on-sale.

Laila Ali and her husband, former NFL player Curtis Conway, introduced their new baby, 5-week-old Curtis Muhammad Conway Jr, in this month’s issue of OK! magazine.
For Laila, who wanted a natural birth, the change in plans was difficult to wrap her mind around. After the complication ended in a hospital admittance for a scheduled induction — “That was hard too, because I didn’t want to be induced” — Curtis Jr. entered the world on August 26th, after a 15-hour labor. “Curtis [Conway] caught him,” Laila notes. “He was able to pull the baby out. He cut the umbilical cord.”
“They gave Curtis Jr. to me. It’s important for the baby to bond with the mother in the first moments. I started crying immediately.”
