Summer Beach Reads - Episode 4

Summer Beach Reads - Episode 4

The official start of summer is right around the corner, and you know that that means...time to finalize your 2021 summer reading list! If you’re not sure where to start, Deirdre Pippins has created a list of six engaging and dynamic beach reads that you can add to your summer roster. Here’s a sneak peek into the six novels Deirdre has selected! 1. A Low Country Bride by Preslaysa Williams (2:35-6:43): While romance may be Deirdre’s least favorite genre, this novel introduces several topics that she hopes will bring readers more maturity and depth than your typical love story. 2. While Justice Sleeps by Stacey Abrams (6:44-10:15): This legal thriller written by celebrated national leader and bestselling author Stacey Abrams is fast-paced and full of twists and turns. You won’t want to miss it! 3. The Other Black Girl by Zakiya Dalila Harris (10:16-14:58): This novel is Deirdre’s number one pick for this summer’s list of reads. From racist behavior in the workplace to coping with microaggressions to the exhaustion of being black in predominantly white spaces, this dynamic book will keep you on the edge of your seat. 4. How to Kidnap the Rich by Rahul Raina (15:08-18:18): A crime story, love story and social satire all rolled into one, this novel explores the glaring inequalities that still persist in modern-day Delhi. 5. Island Queen by Vanessa Riley (18:19-20:57): This historical fiction novel (Deirdre’s favorite genre!) is based on the true life story of Dorothy Kirwan Thomas, a black woman in the colonial West Indies who broke free of slavery to become a powerful and wealthy landowner. 6. Summer on the Bluffs by Sunny Hostin (20:58-27:04): Written by Sunny Hostin, co-host of The View, this novel details a life-changing summer on Oak Bluffs, the most exclusive black beach community in the country where Michelle and Barack Obama recently purchased a home. Tune into this week’s episode of Bookaholic to learn more about the books on host Deidre Pippins’s Summer Beach Reads list. Happy reading! Quotes • “Summer reading has always been a thing, and I guess it’s because people are supposed to be a little more relaxed and laid back during the summer….and then maybe you have an opportunity to read a book! It’s usually your lighter, more fast-paced books that you read during the summer.” (1:06-1:39) • “Romance is my least favorite genre. But surprise, surprise, surprise, I have a romance book that is on my list!” (2:44-2:57) • “What happens between people of color intraracially, we need to tell the truth about that also….For an example there was the light skin versus dark skin aspect. That’s an intraracial thing.” (14:04-14:31) https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/32252751-deirdre Connect with Me https://www.book-a-holic.com/ readingjunkie@book-a-holic.com https://www.instagram.com/truebookaholic/ https://www.facebook.com/bookaholicpodcast https://twitter.com/truebookaholic1 https://www.linkedin.com/in/deirdre-pippins-38338a214/ Podcast production and show notes provided by FIRESIDE Marketing
