It’s summer time, and that means summer reading!
This summer, the reading hasn’t been so super light. I’ve had a number of challenging reads on my list.
It’s time for a little break.
That’s when one of my sisters-in-law recommended Jasmine Guillory.
Like Drinking Champagne
It’s bubbly. It’s light. And it’s DELICIOUS.
I started with The Wedding Date and now I’m on The Proposal.
These books are just so much fun. They’re romantic and sexy, and I can’t put them down once I start.
The only annoyance is that her characters are sometimes frustratingly clueless for such intelligent people. But what would a romance novel be without any tension?
Nice For a Change
My brain candy usually consists of The No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series, or going back to an old and comforting favorite like Jane Austen or Tolkien.
Because my SIL is wonderful, she knew I was looking for reading that would be light, entertaining, but be something fresh and different for me.
Jasmine Guillory is Black, and she writes about women of color, men of color, white men, white women, and their love lives. Most of my life, my reading list has been shockingly white.
This summer has been about diversifying my reading list. While it’s important to read books that push and challenge, it’s also important to read authors of color for pleasure, too.
In the Meantime…
I have some reading to do. Reading that is seriously making me blush…
