I love to read! Good thing since I used to be a librarian. Anyway, I thought I’d share a few recent books that I have enjoyed reading or listening to.
I enjoyed this first one way more than I expected to. It was deeper than a lot of “living with less” books.
This was a thoughtful look at aging. It was a short book that left me thinking.
This book made me laugh out loud at times. I love historical fiction and really loved this book.
I had a book by this author recommended to me, but that one was not available so I tried this one. It kept my attention and I learned some things, as I often do when reading historical fiction. It was a bit dark, covering issues such as immigration in the early part of the 20th century, speak easies in NYC, mob dealings, and Alcatraz.
I definitely recommend The Gown. It takes a look into the world of the unknown women who worked on Queen Elizabeth’s wedding dress.
This one was classed as teen fiction. It was a quick, quirky read and I enjoyed it.
I think I may have mentioned this one before, but it’s worth recommending again!
I was drawn to this last one because of the handwork/embroidery theme. I think as quilters, the concept of pouring your hopes and dreams into your handwork is very relatable.
Have you read any good books lately?
Have a great day!
Thanks for this great list! Based on your descriptions I’ve added a couple to my list.
I have read and enjoyed The Year of Less and Dear Mrs. Bird. I’ve added the others to my Want To Read list.
I’m currently reading “The Red Tent” and have “Ask Again, Yes” waiting for me.
I just ordered Coyote Sunrise from the library. Sounds worth reading.
Just read Symphony for the City of the Dead. INTENSE non-fiction about the seige of Leningrad during WWII.
I also read ‘Dear Mrs. Bird’ and enjoyed it.
