Another week gone, and the summer is flying by. Why, when I should have the most time to read, do I have the least? I have attempted to join a new book group – but didn’t make it because of my knee. This group is a bunch of smart ladies reading smart books. Right up my alley. So sorry I missed this. I did, however, make it to a “bookish” group, a bunch of friends that read fun books, and are in it for the fun of being around. The major draw was the promise of ice cream, and half of us brought wine!
As I have always said – its good to know your people.
Now, I have this group of casual readers, a group of serious readers, and some in each that could create a third group – not so casual, but not so scholarly. What’s a person to do? So, I am thinking I will have 3 book groups, 2 led by me, one led by someone else. I like making the rules.
So, now I need to determine what books to read.
For the casual reading group: a number of people suggested reading Crazy Rich Asians, and then going to see the movie. I actually hate to see the movies of books I like. That being said, I loved The Hate U Give. That is coming out in a movie, and my daughter loved the book and can’t wait to see the movie. Anyway, I have decided that we will be reading Summer Island by Kristin Hannah. This will be my 3rd book of hers that I will be reading, having loved both The Nightingale and The Winter Garden.
I will also suggest the following for a different date/time to see who comes to this: The Muralist by B.A. Shapiro. Let’s see who comes where. We’ll work from there.
If you have any other suggestions, please leave them here.
