TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, what you will be reading next from your tbr pile, and why. I am curious why people read what they read, so tell me!




2022 A YEAR OF BLACK AND NATIVE AMERICAN AUTHORS



★★★★
(3.5)
ADULT FICTION
DUOLOGY BOOK ONE
HISTORICAL FICTION
HAWAII
Published 2003 - Hoopla Borrow
This ended up being one of only two books I read for Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders Heritage Month. I spent a good chunk of time reading the Hawaiian history book that I finally set aside because of boredom. I really liked this story, a lot, and was fully invested in the characters, but there's something I just can't put my finger on that makes me not love it. The last 20% of the story was what the rest of it could have been. I still can't figure out what was missing, though. The .5 deduction was for some misinformation about the Japanese internment camps history based on what I know from reading two books by Japanese authors on the subject. Not "all" Japanese Americans were relocated to camps.



YOUNG ADULT
SERIES BOOK THREE
FANTASY
Publishes July 22nd 2022 - NetGalley UK DRC
Love! Love! Love! It's the final title in the Dauntless Path series which started with one of my favorite books ever, Thorn. This is an ARC from a favorite author so I'm not breaking my challenge rules. Isn't the cover wonderful?



ADULT FICTION
STANDALONE
HISTORICAL FICTION
JAMAICAN CULTURE
Published 2020 - Own Ebook
This will be my first read for Caribbean-American Heritage Month in June. I read authors from the Caribbean all month long every year, but my friend Karen from Runwright Reads has been hosting a Carib-A-Thon read-a-thon for the past few years (Oprah even gave it a nod a couple of years ago), and this year it runs from June 8th to June 18th. Please join us!
