I belong to Laps and Livres, a swimming and reading group. I started it in 2021 as a community of readers. I wouldn’t call it a book club as such because we don’t have a group read.
I started reading as a kid. I can’t remember when I was not a voracious reader. I have the opportunity to read books like So Long a Letter by Mariama Ba for its great writing and its piercing insights and The Secret Lives of Church Ladies by Deesha Philyaw.
Like a lot of people, I read to escape, learn, travel through cultures and new worlds and connect with folks across time and place.
