My summer reading includes people who are not just like me. One of the problems with modern marketing is that everything is a niche market, like this blog. While I love reading the blogs of other mothers who are just like me, I read books to escape to other worlds, other kinds of lives.  

And, I love reading about this world and people who live lives close to mine, have similar experiences and just see it all differently because of one key difference, like race.

I just finished reading Who Does She Think She Is and loved her introduction to the world of African American princesses and finding your true self. While I read my Terri McMillan and, sure, I know exactly How Stella Got her Groove Back, I am really no expert in contemporary women’s fiction (ie Chick Lit) as interpreted by African American authors.

If this is a typical example of her novels, then I am going to start reading a lot more of the work of Benilde Little.
