News
As discussed, our fellow Rioters Silvana and Carole are just the best.
Please enjoy the romance coverage from NPR via podcast and this interview Beverly Jenkins did with Karen Grigsby Bates.
Also the New York Times has come a long way, y’all. [NYT]
There WAS in fact a Reading Pathways piece on Book Riot about Beverly Jenkins! And it was written by yet another of the actual best, Amanda Diehl [insert heart eyes emoji].
This is your regular reminder (from Trisha) to read this Book Riot piece about Bridgerton (by Jess).
Post show note: Okay, we were wrong, and Black Panther came out in 2018. Time is complicated!

Indigo, Forbidden, and basically everything else by Beverly Jenkins
That Could Be Enough and Agnes Moor’s Wild Knight by Alyssa Cole
Confessions in B Flat by Donna Hill
The Preacher’s Promise by Piper Hughley
A Duke, the Lady, and a Baby by Vanessa Riley
