My theme this year is authors that I've read. More about the books I've read than the authors themselves.
I'm an avid reader. I'm a member of 2 in person reading groups through my local library. I'm gradually working my way through an old BBC reading list of 100 books (I'm about half way through) and I'm taking part in the online 52 Book Club Challenge for the third time this year where the challenge is to read 52 books over the year based on 52 different prompts. You can also find me on Goodreads here.
The U authors I've read are:
- Union Gabrielle
When I was preparing to do this challenge I realised I didn't have an author for the letter U so I did some googling and came up with:
We're going to need more wine by Gabrielle Union. The title sounded interesting so I ordered it from the library.
It probably didn't help that I didn't really know who Gabrielle Union was when I started this book. I'm not really better informed now - she's obviously very well know in the USA and appeared in a lot of shows, none of which I have watched. But she does tick the author's name starts with a U so I accomplished that at least.
It wasn't a difficult read - although there is a lot of swearing and sexual detail in the book. (Just saying for anyone who would be put off by that.) But I couldn't really say it was an enjoyable read. It did raise my awareness of how difficult everyday situations can be for Black Americans though.
Are you familiar with Gabrielle Union? Watched any of her shows?
