In reply to Susan.

I’d wait on Death of Us. I wanted to write a better review, but I seem to be losing my words these days. My brain is so focused on not going insane or sinking into problematic depression that I have no band width.

The Correspondent is lovely. A balm, but not too sweet. We had high temps earlier in the week, but now it’s beautiful again. We could use rain, but that’s par for a Seattle summer. You take care.

In reply to Susan. Oh, cataracts are the worst! You'll feel better once you have the surgery and it's quick and easy (and I hate surgery!). Feel better so you can get back to your reading!

I didn’t realize the home invasion includes a rape in The Death of Us … ugh — maybe that is too bleak right now. But it’s on my summer list. Should I go there? Or sub it out? How good is The Correspondent? hmmm. We had a cooler & wetter June here — which we actually needed after a couple dry months. I think July could be back in the frying pan. Stay well.

I’ve only finished 3 books this month so far, almost have a 4th one completed but not quite.
I read Beach House Rules by Christy Woodson Harvey. Usually I enjoy this author, not this time. I felt like I had read this story before and it had been done better.
You and I both liked The Ghost writer, and King of Ashes.
I’ve enjoyed Nora Robert’s Hidden Nature, easy breezy reading, she writes a formula nothing taxing to read.
I’m not reading much right now due to brain width, and my eyes. I hope to have cataract surgery soon.
