So today, just a quick rundown of reading material while we were on vacation:
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
The Memory of Running by Ron McLarty
Both excellent reads. I have requested another book by Lisa See that I had heard of before but never got around to reading. So once Peony In Love arrives at the Bookmobile for me I'll let you know what I think.
I also got through Newsweek and Time, both cover to cover -- I never get to do that. It felt so indulgent. And I have been browsing O magazine's summer book issue but frankly it left me uninspired.
More later -- I have to go make dinner so everyone gets to baseball on time.
We're like, book twins, because I swear I JUST picked up Peony in Love! I haven't started it, besides reading the first chapter, but it looks pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a pretty good novel that my sister gave me when I was in Colorado. It's called the Memory Keeper's Daughter. Sort of Oprah-bookclubbishy, but a page turner.
I didn't enjoy the O Summer book issue either--I already sent it to the paper recycler. Right now I am reading a YA novel about being a witch.
