ON READING: I read globally, across genres and acc ON READING: I read globally, across genres and according to seasons. ✨📚

 My summer reading typically includes genres that offer some lighthearted moments: wit and irony, and a bit of romance, if possible. They don’t have to be “beach reads” but provide food for thought.

Right now, I’m reading the comedy of manners / social commentary set in South Africa and still enjoying it. 💫👌🏾

What are your go-to genres for summer reading? 😘
