June Library Haul
Anne Bogel's podcast is KILLER for my TBR pile... On a recent episode she talked classics, and I realized that I have never read A Room with a View
by E.M. Forster. I adored the movie, but it's been a long time, so I hope to read it and watch with fresh eyes.
I've been reading Flora & Ulysses
by Kate DiCamillo with my son, and now I'm re-reading it to get the whole picture, since I missed out on the nights my husband was on bedtime duty. And it's my Newberry book for the month!
Marrow Island
by Alexis M. Smith is a book I took note of earlier this year, as it was on the PNW authors shelves at Elliot Bay Bookstore and it's been making the rounds on social media lately with the release of the paperback. It's set in my neck of the woods, too, and sounded intriguing.
Dreamland Burning
by Jennifer Latham is a very compelling sounding dual timeline historical fiction YA, and another book mentioned on the What Should I Read Next podcast, as well as her summer reading guide. I also have Killers of the Flower Moon
(a nonfiction account Osage Indian murders) from a recent Book of the Month box, so I hope to read them back to back.
All Our Wrong Todays
by Elan Mastai has been described as similar to Dark Matter and more lighthearted, which made me put it on hold immediately.
It's been awhile since I paged through a new cookbook, and Naturally Nourished
by Sarah Britton looks like a good one!
And as I was returning some books for my kids yesterday, I discovered Beartown
by Fredrik Backman on the lucky day shelf! I'm pretty far along in the queue for the digital book (see below), but I had to grab it. I didn't love A Man Called Ove, but I keep hearing raves about this, and that it's a departure from his other work. I guess that's what I'm reading next, and as always, I look forward to any commentary or suggestions!

Check out The Bright Hour by Nina Riggs. I know the author's family so I might be a little biased but I loved it so much. Also that cookbook is amazing.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I tend to shy away from those kind of books - When Breath Becomes Air has been languishing on my shelf because I am a wuss. And, I think I'm coming to realize that I prefer memoir that is on the uplifting side :/
DeleteI enjoyed Dark Matter better than All Our Wrong Todays (I thought the science-y stuff got a little strange towards the end?) BUT my husband read All Our Wrong Todays and couldn't get 50 pages into Dark Matter. So there is that.
ReplyDeleteMy library hold of The Shark Club just came in and I'm excited to read that one. A Hundred Summers is a book I reread almost every year, it's my favorite of hers (although I think I liked it better on rereads than originally). Happy reading!
I agree with you on All Our Wrong Todays! It was good, but not as great as Dark Matter. I am excited to finally read Beatriz Williams, as I had A Hundred Summers on my list last year but didn't get around to it - I am DETERMINED this year :)
