I'm rereading Angela's Ashes right now and love it again!
ReplyDeleteI just finished My Sister's Keeper - oooooh, that was a good one! I've also read a few by Nicholas Sparks - not my usual reading material, but very good nonetheless.
ReplyDeleteoh- i just love how those books are ordered on the bookshelf!!!
ReplyDeleteI read a great book while on holidays at the ocean in b.c.
It is called "Home: Tales of a Heritage Farm" by Anny Scoones. A quick synopsis: "Glamorgan Farm in North Saanich, B.C. is one of the oldest farms on Vancouver Island. Owner Anny Scoones rescued the original farm buildings from near-destruction and has carefully restored them. The barns now house rare breeds of livestock, while the gardens and orchards flourish with heirloom plants and vegetables"
A lovely, lovely book!
I'm working my way through the John Grisham books that I missed during my 10+ years of not reading fiction books. I can't believe I relegated myself to only nonfiction for so long! Though I love NF dearly too!
ReplyDeleteMy summer reading has all been a bit disappointing. Tithe by Holly Black, Seeing Redd by Frank Beddor, The Hourglass Door by Lisa Magnum... I didn't like any of them much! :( But right now I'm (re)reading Jane Eyre... so I'm in love. :)
ReplyDeleteit's not a new book or anything, but i've been reading "The Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. it's a great eye opener on food production in america. i also read "Broken Open" by Elisabeth Lesser
ReplyDeleteI have been working my way through some classics this summer - so far I have read Pride and Prejudice, Dracula, and Frankenstein.
ReplyDeleteI recently read The Soloist--after seeing the moving I wanted the story fleshed out more. A good read, and even better if you are familiar with mental health issues.
ReplyDeleteI would also recommend My Guantanamo Diary although the stories are disturbing.
Thanks to Robert Downey Jr. I've picked up three volumes of Sherlock Holmes stories... so far they're very really enjoyable!
ReplyDeletethese are great, nicies! thanks so much for sharing!
