I discovered J California Cooper early in 2014. I’m finally currently reading her short stories collection: “Some Love, Some Pain, Sometime”. Its so gossipy, uplifting and hilarious. I love her so much! I wish I paid more attention to her when she was alive :(. Which books of hers have you enjoyed so far?

Unfortunately Cooper was a name I’d recently discovered and whose work I’ve had yet to explore. Like you, I wish I had paid more attention to her when she was alive. Which book do you recommend beginning?

Ohh okay! I’m reading her short stories collection right now and loving it. I’m yet to read her other stuff, but I hear her novel ‘Family’ is a good place to start 🙂
I love your blog by the way! I’m a fan 🙂
