read in 2024: seven days in june by tia williams

“One thing,” she whispered, her lips by his jaw. She didn’t want anyone to overhear. “Before I forget.” “What’s that?” “Stop writing about me.” [...] In a voice both raspy and low, and so, so familiar, Shane said, “You first.”

Best Books Read in January 2023

I was incredibly lucky this year to read some absolutely amazing books and while I will probably do a top five of the year, there are so many good book I would be skipping over that I am going to try and make a post for the top 3-5 I read each month (it was a big reading year lol)

This post will cover January, which kicked everything off with a bang!!

Kindred by Octavia Butler

This was my first Octavia Butler book and it blew my mind. It is about a woman from the 1970s who travels to the 1800s, on the plantation of her ancestors. A difficult and rewarding read that commands respect and asks harrowing questions.

Bloodmarked by Tracy Deonn

The sequel to Legendborn that makes me remember how much I love these big, epic YA fantasies. Deonn creates a loveable found family with vibrant dynamics that I crave more content for. Her commentary on grief and institutional racism are eye opening and heartbreaking. A worthy sequel that has me begging for the third!

Sisters of the Neversea by Cynthia Leitich Smith

I have come to love response literature, and this book is a prime example of using a secondary text to analyze the original within a novel. The way Smith approaches the sexism and racism of Peter Pan is really powerful. Truly an example of how middle grade books can be just as smart as adult books.

Honorable Mentions:

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

A romance between two writers that subverts many tropes. Some of the best chemistry I have seen on page!!

Sorry, Bro by Taleen Voskuni

I've never read a book with an Armenian protagonist and so this was very special to me for that reason.

Destigmatizing male vulnerability is the first step toward rebuilding the absolute ruin that straight men have left the world in.

From the mouths of babes - from 12yo Audre in Tia Williams’ Seven Days in June.

Adult romance novel

Second-chance romance about two authors (one of literary fiction, one of paranormal romance) who spent a week in love as teenagers before they were torn apart until they reunite twenty years later and must confront that they’ve been unable to forget each other in the intervening years–and may have a chance for a real future together now

Complicated romance with a real connection at the heart and equally real barriers to happiness the two protagonists must confront

Explores addiction, trauma, and living with an invisible disability (chronic migraines)

Black main characters

#very good second-chance romance!#the obstacles to their relationship felt very real #but so did the chemistry/connectionn #tbh i was way more interested in the present-day stuff than the flashbacks #there was a bit of 'huh that's it?' when i got to the end of their first week together #but i really enjoyed the present-day timeline #good balance of humor/romance/serious topics i think #liked the author aspect and the commentary on the publishing world #also i have read two books this year (this plus yerba buena)#where a character is researching her creole family's history #and now i want to read a historical fiction novel about creole communities #will have to do some googling #oh and this would make a good movie or miniseries i think #seven days in june #tia williams #2023 reads #i remember this from the tiffany achy books i think!#lulu speaks #lulu reads seven days in june #books #last note: this is a romance novel but deals with some quite serious topics #so i might suggest checking content warnings if you need to know that kind of stuff

“This is a romance story that doesn’t negate the agency of women, that celebrates Black love and Black culture, and that presents a very refreshing but nonetheless satisfying ending.” - K

Seven Days in June by Tia Williams

@tiawilliamswrites

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Eva Mercy is a single mom and bestselling erotic author, who battles an invisible disease. Shane Hall is an award-winning author known for being a recluse. So when Shane shows up unannounced in NYC at a Black literary event where Eva is at everyone is shocked, but not as much as Eva herself. No one knows Shane and Eva spent a wild week madly in love twenty years earlier, and since then they have been secretly writing to each other in their books. Will this be the chance they have been waiting for to reconnect and rekindle the spark from their past? Or will the traumas that haunt them be too hard to overcome while reliving those seven days in June?

The emotional roller coaster this book put me through😩 I cried, laughed, sweated, screamed! It’s no surprise that I really enjoyed this book because I have only heard great things. Williams tackles themes like mental health, living with chronic illness, single parenthood, family issues/generational trauma, racism/systemic racism (and more!)!! The way she effortlessly sows these topics into this book is amazing and really helps you connect to the characters and identify with them! The romance and banter between Shane and Eva is *chef’s kiss* and her daughter Audre is hilarious. I’m not a huge fan of second chance romance trope but this was done perfectly, and the audiobook was great!!

Read if you love:

"I wanna be where all your paths end."

It took me more than seven days this June to read Seven Days in June by Tia Williams, because I was so in love with the story that I didn't want it to end.

The poetic ways Shane speaks to and about Eva set my heart on fire. I wish everyone was so able to explain their feelings for others, we'd all be a lot better off.

Reading this in a time of learning to live with the pains of life made the story even more alive. I seriously understand why this book has been reviewed so well by so many people. Adding it to my comfort list immediately.
