We are having an adult summer reading program at our local library.  The way they do it is bingo where each genre or category gets its own square. I have a book for each category except Diverse Author, Beach Read and Magic.  Can anyone recommend any books in these categories?

Not sure what qualifies as Diverse Author but here are some books I have read in the last year or so that might fit & were good & interesting reads:

Lauren Hough--Leaving Isn't the Hardest Thing:  Essays.  Lauren grew up in a cult, was in Air Force & was forced out for being gay.  Really good read.

Dylan Mulvaney--Paper Doll:  Notes from a Late Bloomer.  Dylan wrote about her male to female transition and her online content creator.  Not as much about the Bud Light controversy.  Seems like tried to stay light & optimistic but still covered some serious and emotional issues.

Wesley Lowery--"They Can't Kill Us All": Ferguson, Baltimore and a New Era in America's Racial Justice Movement.  An African American newspaper reporter talks about covering these police incidents where young African American men are killed.  Tough to read at times but this is from a perspective that was on the ground & talking to local people after these incidents.

Sandra Tsing Loh--The Madwoman and the Roomba: My Year of Domestic Mayhem.  A more humorous read about the author's life and family.

Jill Soloway--She Wants It: Desire, Power and Toppling the Patriarchy.  Author's father comes out as a transgender female.  Author is working in Hollywood and uses this as inspiration for the TV series Transparent.  Talks about the series, her family & her life where she starts to see herself as non-binary.

I really don't know what Beach Read would be and been a while since I have read a Magic or even a Sci-Fi book.  Good luck on this.

I went to ThriftBooks site lookup beach reads, because not sure about that genre. Try The Wedding People by Alison Espach or The Women by Kristin Hannah or anything by Elin Hilderbrand would work.

For Magic have you read Jim Butcher? The first book in his Dresden Files series is Storm Front.

Enjoy your summer!
