![]() I grew up with Danielle Steel my mom read most of her books, as did my grandma and my aunts. Danielle Steel is the undisputed HBIC of popular fiction. She’s the best-selling author alive and writes several books a year from her home in Paris, often working on up to five at one time. The 67-year-old Steel has created an empire via her popular romantic novels. That seemed slightly saner than devoting my precious summer to the Danielle Steel oeuvre. Why didn’t I make good on that promise? Instead of a summer, I decided to read only Danielle for a month. ![]() After joking to friends that I was going to read nothing but Danielle Steel for an entire summer, I got to thinking. I like a trashy novel as much as the next girl, but what I really like is a challenge. ![]() They’re popular for a reason: they’re easy to read, portable and you can pick them up and set them down without worrying about breaking your focus. That being said, there’s something about warm weather and lazy days in the sun that does lend itself to the mass-market paperback. No shame – unless you’re reading the new “50 Shades” from Christian’s perspective. I’ve never been one to buy into the concept of “beach books.” Like, read something light and fluffy if you want, when you want. ![]()
