Julia London | Reading for Pleasure: History

Writers are readers, first and foremost, and I know a lot of my romance-writing
pals read romance for pleasure. I used to read romance for pleasure, but when
you write romance all day, it can be sort of a stretch to try and relax with
one. That’s not to say I never read it—of course I do—but I don’t read it like
I used to.

For BOOK OF SCANDAL, my latest release (in stores now), I read a couple of
riveting biographies. You would think it really dry reading, but if you are
into the regency period like I am, sometimes those books can read like the
People Magazine of its time. There was some down and dirty goings-on!
