Thank you! I had one miss, but started Sex and Vanity and it’s so good!

Maybe it is the amount of focus it requires. That plus feeling I have been so sheltered all my life.

I’ve heard great things about Ruby, but am going to wait for it at the library. Like you, my July TBR is out of control!

I really liked Big Summer, even though I didn’t think she needed the murder. I loved the frenemies part of the story!

That’s great about your reading! I was doing all right, but read two memoirs about racism in a row and even though it’s so important to do it’s draining. I am so uneducated.

I’m enjoying the necessary nonfiction reading I’m doing, but it is like being back in school. I really have to focus and pay attention, but continue to be amazed at how much I didn’t know or maybe didn’t let myself know.

Fiction has been very up and down this month. Lots of B books for me, though Saving Ruby King is excellent. I think you would really like it. I bought it, not wanting to wait for a copy on Libby.

Hope this week is a little better, my friend.

For the first time since the pandemic started I have read 7 books this month. I have been getting all the books I had on hold at the library. My favorite so far this month has been Hello Summer by Mary Kay Andrews, then On Oceans Blvd by Mary Alice Monroe, and Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner. Even though they are considered “beachy” books the writing is solid with good plots, well developed characters you can root for or hate.
I hope you find some books to enjoy soon.
