All the Light We Cannot See sounds great, can't wait for your thoughts. Giggling over A Man Called Ove ... hope we both like it lol.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and happy reading :)
All the Light is excellent.
DeleteI'll be interested to hear what you think of All the Light We Cannot See--I've been sort of on the fence about adding that to my list. Enjoy your reading this week!
ReplyDeleteThe writing is beautiful and I love the characters.
DeleteAll the Light We Cannot See is one that I'll look for this summer.

Yes, you should!
DeleteWow! You had an amazing week. I read Ordinary Jack years ago. I should tell my students about it. Sometimes I forget that it isn't just the new books that provide good reading. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI want to create a meme about books you might have missed.
DeleteYou reviewed a lot last week! What a great selection of books!
ReplyDeleteI think I was less impressed by My Salinger Year than I should have been,
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week

I liked it a lot. I liked seeing what it was like to be in that world.
DeleteCan't wait to hear what you think of All the Light we Cannot See!
ReplyDeleteYes, I need to get to reading!
DeleteYou have some great reading lined up! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Fun list to look through, you reviewed a lot of different stuff last week. I still want to read 20,000 Leagues one of these days... and The accidental Connoisseur looks fun as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about The Accidental Connoisseur, love the cover and my husband loves books about wine. I also want to check out the Jane Gardam book. I struggled with 20,000 Leagues and didn't get through it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed Salinger Year--I checked it out from the library but I have a feeling I'm going to want to buy my own copy when it's out in paperback!
ReplyDeleteHa The Accidental Connoisseur looks right up my alley! The Summer Book looks good too.
ReplyDeleteI read That One Summer, and while I liked the illustrations, I am not sure how I felt about the story. The ending annoyed me! Lol.
I liked One Summer, but I didn't love it.
DeleteYes, I saw your updates on goodreads and added a few to my to-read list. :) I just finished The Enchanted. One of those books that I would definitely recommend, although much of the subject matter is very dark.
ReplyDeleteI'm about 4/5ths of the way through All the Light We Cannot See, and it, too, is very dark. I suppose, based on the title, that that is to be expected.
ReplyDeleteI read the synopsis of All the Light We Cannot See and it sounds interesting. If you're going to write a review, then I'll wait for it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I loved Milly Molly Mandy as a kid. I read all the books - lapped them up! Have a great reading week.
ReplyDeleteThey are excellent little stories.
DeleteWow on all your reviews. Must have been pretty busy.
ReplyDeleteAll The Light We Cannot See looks good.
ENJOY this week. When does school begin again? Sorry to ask.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
I've just this minute finished All the Light We Cannot See. I'm sitting here, in a daze, in love with this book.
DeleteThree Fridays from now is the start of school. Still have some good reading time.
DeleteGood....lots of time.
DeleteGreat to hear the book was so good. I Love books that make you fall in love with them.
ReplyDeleteMe, too.
DeleteOh my. I know that reading isn't a competitive sport, but this makes me sad. I haven't managed to finish one book this month...
ReplyDeleteYou are reading a very big book, Louise!
ReplyDeleteI still need to write a review for My Salinger Year,
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week,
