Update: I was able to jump on library wait lists for the books I previously listed.

I think the first book started in May, but finished in June for me was Lessons In Chemistry. Not sure why, but that was a stop & start & almost DNF for me, but in the end I liked it well enough.

I am currently reading Jennifer Weiner’s The Summer Place. Liking it so far. This will be my second Weiner book. The first was Big Summer. Easy & enjoyable reads.

I picked up some great titles at the library today; 3 of which I was on wait lists for:

Truly Madly: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier and the romance of the century.

The Netanyahus: An account of a minor and untimely even negligible episode in the history of a very famous family

Bomb Shelter Love, Time And Other Explosives

How about those titles!!!! I need to get to Bomb Shelter fast, bc I know I will not be allowed to recheck it.

Also got Tides by Sara Freeman, a debut I was unfamiliar with, but looks good.

Side note: The above book & also Heaven (International Booker prize nominee) by Mieko Kawakami would make great travel books or books to take to someone you are traveling to visit. Both are nice and compact!!

Happy June everyone!! I have a dreaded but necessary surgery coming up, so I have my reading material all lined up.

My May reading was pretty slow, despite all my best intentions.

So hopefully I can pick up the pace.
