My Summer Reading List

I’ll let you know my thoughts as I finish each one and maybe we can do a little online book club if you are into it!

Broken Harbor by Tana French (She’s written three books so far and each one was better than the last. I adored Faithful Place, so I can’t wait for this one.)

The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker (You know I can’t resist post-apocalyptic disaster novels.)

Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness (the sequel to Discovery of Witches)

Diamond in the Rough by Shawn Colvin (a memoir by my favorite singer)

Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Coast Trail by Cheryl Strayed

    Wild was great. Stock up on tissues before you start to read.

    I’m into it! I read A Discovery of Witches based on your recommendation and now I can’t wait to get my mitts on Shadow of Night!

    I read a Tana French novel last summer (upon hearing your TBTL recommendation) while I was traveling in Ireland. It was perfect! Looking forward to Broken Harbor.

    I have a book recommendation for you: Blind Sight by Meg Howrey (sp?)

    I think I heard about it on NPR a while ago, requested it from the library and it finally came. Great summer read!

    I’m thinking about Wild for sure. Good summer book. I’ll look forward to any discussions.

    I have always invisioned myself as a book clubbie kind of gent who offers insight and illuminates subtext in a funny relatable way. I would host in my victorian library that is drunk on deep mahoganey and fine leather with first edition classics bursting from the shelves. All the while sipping on a wine that not only is representative of the region in which the novel revolves but also invokes the writers vision in a sensesory nirvanna culminating in a blissfull awakening for all involved.
    My reality however is Game of Thrones paper backs a beat up coffee table with a shabby sheek chair that will not recline fat tire beer on a good night and an attention span that refuses to allow for more than 25min of focus before I have to find out if there is an episode of always sunny that I may have missed a joke in. So I would love the oportunity to spout off nonsensicly about books I may have perused while half T&E and all the while getting to pretend I am the bookiest bro chief in the land of makemebelieve..
    Awesome I am loading my kindle now with the selections….See You all in my MindBrary
