CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Online Book Club returns for August! Our theme is Diversify Your Read - read a book with characters or written by an author of a race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. other than your own. It's all about stepping into someone else's shoes.

What is everyone reading this week? I finished some manga and A Court of Frost and Starlight over the weekend. It's such a great feeling, being able to finish the books on my floor. Until I get distracted by shiny new objects. Lol. I've been waiting for the library to get Red, White, and Royal Blue (a contemporary LGBT read set in a more optimistic world) and it's finally here!! I checked my copy out today and I am resisting the urge to binge read it.

After that, I'm reading The Princess and the Fangirl. We'll see if I can finish both this week.

Tell us what you are reading!

This week and last week I've been reading Where the Crawdads Sing (Delia Owens), and am now reading Calypso (David Sedaris), which I guess fits the theme of an author of sexual orientation not my own. Where the Crawdads Sing was a great vacation read--worthy of the amount of holds it has in the library! Calypso is darkly funny, but perhaps more dark than Sedaris' earlier work.
