“I’m so thankful for having found Mostlylit.
I’ve always have been a passionate reader but like most black people, I limited myself to white authors because I just didn’t heard much about black authors and their works. So thank you, Raifa, Alex and Derek for making me aware of the richness of...”Read full review »

“Woooow, I always pushed off leaving a review because I assumed there already had to be a couple hundred. But not even ten? Mostly Lit crew, get on it! Remind people to leave reviews so I can see you on the front page of the podcast section one day!
I’m not really a “Monday sucks” person but I...”Read full review »

“Derek should seriously consider studying law as he makes excellent points when discussing. I wish Alex were more vocal because it appears he sometimes suppresses his thoughts/points.”
