Now that I am all caught up on the available past seasons of Dexter I am flying through my summer reading list, even with the new additions. I haven’t gone through this many books in a long while. I love when I stumble upon great reading, planning out my list certainly helped.
 |
The Yellow House By Patricia Falvey Completed! A story of a courageous woman during the The Troubles of Ireland interwoven with the troubles of her life. An impressive first novel. I highly recommend this well written engaging historical fiction book. |
 |
The Help By Kathryn Stockett Almost Done! I got several offers of copies and did get my hands on one. |
 |
The Nine Rooms of Happiness Loving Yourself, Finding Your Purpose, and Getting Over Life’s Little Imperfections By Lucy Danziger and Catherine Birndorf Listening! OK, I am kind of cheating on this one. I had a credit at Audible.com for a free book. I thought this a good choice for listening instead of reading. |

I will likely need to add a few more to my list to make it through the summer, including a week at the beach. Any recommendations? |
The Help has been on order from my local library for a month…LONG list of people. I appreciate Historical Fiction so I will try the Yellow House but I am STILL trying to read "My Life Would be Perfect if I loved Here". The librarians laughed when I asked for it. Again – on "backorder" at the library. For Historical Fiction and New York City lovers I recommend "Forecer" – author escapes me but well known.
Forever by Pete Hamill? Looks good, add it to my list. I HAVE to get to the library and renew my card so I stop buying books.
Now THAT sounds like TRUE Crawford situation.
Omg – I read 'The Help' in one day, I could not put it down! It was so good!! Then I picked up 'Olive Kittredge' which won the Pulitzer Prize last year, and it seemed so bland compared to 'The Help'. `I think we are going to do a 'Books' episode on The Because Show because there are so many good books to be read/talked about/shared!! I just ordered Donna Tartt's The Secret History because it sounds really really good – and have decided not to continue Bret Easton Ellis 'Imperial Bedrooms', can't get into it….
Finished up 'The Help' yesterday. Very good! Besides my audio book I think I am out of books for now. Look forward to the episode to get some ideas and checking out the ones mentioned in your comment.
