I hope every one of you is having gorgeous weather this week. We’ve had low humidity, sunshine and 80s, just perfect. The humidity will be here next month, so I’ve been enjoying moments outside right now. If you can combine that with reading, all the better!

I want to mention the book I’ve just started. I’ve known author Jenn McKinlay for years. She was still a librarian at Phoenix Public Library when I was working at the Glendale Public Library in Arizona. She was also writing, and hadn’t yet quit her job to write mysteries and rom-coms full time. Summer Reading is her latest romantic comedy. It’s about a woman who doesn’t read and the librarian/book lover she falls for.

Here’s the reason I want to mention the book, though. If you like romantic comedies, but have trouble with the print, Summer Reading might interest you. The heroine in the book is dyslexic, and has a neurodivergent brain. Jenn’s author’s note at the beginning of the book says she made a pitch to have Summer Reading published in a dyslexic-friendly font. “Our book designers were eager to use their skills to adjust not just the font but the overall design of the book to improve the accessibility of the novel with a dyslexic-friendly design….The words that would usually be in italics are bold instead, no words are cut in half with a hyphen at the end of a sentence, and even the size of the margins were adjusted.”

The book is over 400 pages, long for a rom-com. But, that’s because the font is much larger than in most paperback romances.

So, that’s what I’m currently reading, and I thought some of you might be interested. What about you? What are you reading this week?
