Hot Dudes Reading links up with award-winning actor Colman Domingo to ask him some bookish questions, including what he’s currently reading, his favorite author, favorite genre, and more.

You may know Domingo from projects including Rustin, Sing Sing, Euphoria, The Color Purple, and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom. But when he’s not on the stage or screen, apparently he’s got some books in the rotation too.

During the conversation, books and authors mentioned include The Color Purple, Giovanni’s Room, and Nothing Personal.

Jalen Brunson’s Children’s Book Gets a New Release Date 🏀📚

From New York Knicks captain, NBA All-Star, and NBA champion Jalen Brunson comes an inspiring new children’s book about trying new things, working hard, and discovering your strengths along the way.

In announcing the project, Jalen shared that this story is about understanding that success doesn’t happen overnight. There are mistakes, setbacks, and moments where giving up may feel easier than continuing forward.

While basketball was always at the center of his journey, Jalen explains that every sport he played helped shape the habits, character, discipline, and work ethic that made him who he is today.

This upcoming children’s book reminds young readers that growth isn’t always linear and that sometimes the lessons matter just as much as the wins.

📚 Jalen Plays It All is currently available for pre-order and has a new release date of November 24, 2026. 🧡💙📖
