What are you reading?

Do you have any suggestions for a nice summer reading novel? I like the kind that you can't put down :)

I recommend Shiver. Could honestly say it's my favorite book. It put's a whole new twist on werewolves, so I loved it even when I was sick of reading cliche werewolf books.

Have you read The Boys on the Boat yet? Literally could not put this down. I also just finished Transcendental Kingdom and really enjoyed that. I'm also probably one of the last to read The Secret Life of Bees but LOVED it as well.

Oh another one that I loved loved - The Kites by Romain Gary. I bought myself a treat of A Year of Reading from the Shakespeare and Co bookstore and this was one they sent me. I would never have picked it up otherwise but it's one of my favorites of all time now. Kind of similar vibes to All The Light We Cannot See which is another highly worth read if you haven't already. The Power comes to mind also - an Obama recommendation from a few years back on one of his reading lists. Absolutely did not disappoint.

I just finished Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky. It is Kwame Mbalia’s debut novel. It follows a young boxer who goes on a fantastic journey, and focuses on African American folktales and West African mythology. It is a middle grade novel that is fun for everyone to read! And if you enjoy audiobooks, the narrator on the one is fantastic! I definitely recommend it!

In January, I read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel, February read was Nature's Best Hope by Doug Tallamy (second read), March Daring Greatly by Brene Brown, April, a suggestion from Fresh Chalk called Mind Management not Time management. I'll also second the suggestion for Overstory, but I confess, I didn't like the ending or some of the flow, but it was a good book to make you think about relationships between nature and people.
