Pleasure

by Eric Jerome Dickey

I really enjoyed this book. I’ve read books by EJD before but it was too long ago to remember his style of writing. I couldn’t help but think how accurate he had the woman’s point of view in this book. Made me think how much of what we do is transparent to those secretly watching us.

Sometimes the names authors choose for characters annoy me. Everything was just right in this one. Their names, their experiences, the struggles/conflicts, the lessons were all on point. I didn’t want to put it down.
And let’s not get into the fact that Nia was Trinidadian! I related on so many levels!

I’m off to look up Anaïs Nin. =D

Forbidden Shores

by Jane Lockwood

Not what I expected. Read this book based on its cover. However, it turned out to be very interesting. The story was probably set in the 1600s when slavery was very prominent. I enjoyed the history but found the style of English a bit annoying. Again, I expected a more modern story that didn’t involve old English terms like “cuney” or “shift.” I was also a bit turned off by the homosexual relationship that the author created but it was necessary for the story to develop.
