What I Read Last Week     
Remember Ben Clayton was our book club book this month. I finished it just in time for book club, but, sadly, I missed the club meeting as I was getting ready to leave for our son's wedding. Too bad. I heard the discussion was excellent.
The Summer Book...it's a classic and it deserves to be. A grandmother and her granddaughter bond at a summer house after the death of the child's mother. Powerful, yet very subtle.
Animal Madness and Big Tiny are both books I've been waiting to read since I first heard they were coming out. Neither disappointed.
What better book to read while I was off at my son's wedding than The Week Before the Wedding?! I had my hair and makeup done early in the day-of with orders to "keep still" and "stay out of the wind." That is virtually an instruction to sit in my room and read. So I did. Learned a few things about mothers-in-law that fall in the category of Never Do. A nice read, I thought.

What I'm Reading Now

We are back from...
Friday was my son's wedding in Chicago! It was fabulous.
What are you reading today?!
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!
I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme Book Journey loves to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme.
I just read Ben Clayton--definitely worth the time. I want to read soon All the Light We Cannot See and Landline. I've read about them! p.s. We still have a landline and during Ike we were the only ones in the neighborhood who could call out!
ReplyDeleteWe still have our landline, too. I won't share my husband's tirades (ceaseless tirades, really) against cell phones.
ReplyDeleteI have been sort of curious about Landline because I liked the one book by Rainbow Rowell I read. I'll be eager to hear what you think. Come see my week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI've been curious about Landline, too. I liked E&P, but Fangirl...not so much.
DeleteI want to be in the cover of The Summer Book and I think I'd like to read it too. Enjoy!

Isn't that an amazing cover?
DeleteCongratulations on the wedding.
ReplyDeleteAll your books are new to me. Enjoy them all.
Thanks! I hope to spend some of today doing just that!
DeleteYes, I definitely learned some things not-to-do as a mother-in-law!
ReplyDeleteLandline is definitely on my to-read list. The Big Tiny sounds intriguing, too!
ReplyDeleteYou and I are book buddies this week! I have All the Light we Cannot See coming up in a few books and I'm going to pick up Landline from the library tomorrow. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't that cool?
