I picked up a load of books that I'd reserved at the library this morning, including the newest in the adorable Little Elliot series. I am excited to dive into them. I am thankful for good books. I might be a minimalist at heart, but I don't think one can ever have too many books. If you are in need of something good to read, here is a list of some of my favorites (I hope you'll share yours in the comments!):
Ahab's Wife
Jane Eyre
All the Light We Cannot See
May the Road Rise Up to Meet You
The Greenlanders
These is My Words

Me too, I'm a bookie. :) One of my very favorites is Wallace Stegner's Crossing to Safety. I am reading the Betsy/Tacy series to my kids and we all love it! The books start with the friends at age 5 and go up through high school. We're on the one where they're 10, and we'll probably stop there for now since my oldest is 5 and he isn't super interested in teenage girls... :)
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to check out All the Light We Cannot See. It's on my list!
I loved American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld; Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese; One and the Same by Abigail Pogrebin and my favorite summer read is Barefoot by Elin Hildebrand.
ReplyDeleteYou're the only other person I know who's read "Greenlanders." Loved that book! Thanks for reminding me. I think I'm going to find it on my shelf and dust it off this week.
ReplyDeleteThe Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan was my favorite this year to read.
