Can you believe we are half way through the year? So far this year I’ve been reading some really good books but unfortunately June was not the most outstanding month. I finished two books and both were very light reads: The Seafront Tearoom by Vanessa Greene and The Island House by Nancy Thayer.
I may actually finish another book tomorrow night but for now we are just going to say two books. However, I am in the middle of five books so hopefully that means July will be a better month numbers-wise.
Of course it’s hard to keep my mind on my current reads when I keep hearing about new books so I think I’ll stick with my current reads and try to make some progress this weekend but I’ll leave you with two links that I think you’ll enjoy:
Nancy Pearl’s Summer reading list. Lions by Bonnie Nadzam is a book I’ve had my eye on for a while. After hearing her segment on NPR this morning though I wanted to add all the books to my list. She is so enthusiastic about the books and I just love hearing her.
5 Crime Must-Reads for July. I’m really looking forward to Persons Unknown by Susie Steiner. I read her debut novel last year and thought it was a great read so I’m interested to see what she has in store for her characters with her second novel.
Have a wonderful weekend and let me know what are you looking forward to in July?
I heard Nancy Pearl talking about her summer list on NPR yesterday morning, but never followed up and found the link… thank you! Seems like Nancy Thayer’s books would be perfect summertime reading.
I cannot believe we are halfway through the year! I read two books in June myself. I’m aiming for five in July so I may have to impose a reading marathon for myself some Friday night…lol. Happy reading!
I’m looking forward to Michael Connelly’s new series! Have loved Bosch for years and am eager to see how he treats a female protagonist. Happy Fourth of July!
