As busy as it was, the crossover from spring to summer made for some good reading. The best of the bunch this quarter was A Great Country, which was no surprise based on my reactions to her previous novels. What books have you loved recently?
The first of the year brought a stack of new books to enjoy, along with anticipation of new releases. But how is it already April, and I've read those and more? Guess I have to wait until my birthday and Mother's Day for more. (Just kidding.)
The final quarter leading to Christmas and hopefully, a new stack of books, but several of these were real standouts for the year.
Book lover friends: I read some truly wonderful books this quarter. The first and last were particular standouts, but half a dozen of those in-between were excellent.
Half the year is gone! But I’ve read some great (and some not so great) books. Check out this quarter's list. Don't worry; the list is longer than the picture shows.
First of a new year means a Christmas stash of books (pictured). Of course, I read more than those, but it’s a great way to start the year. Here’s what I’ve been reading.
End of the year. Final reading list for 2022 was a mixed bag. (The photo is only a sample.) What were your favorite books this year?
What book will I start in October? I haven't decided yet, but for now, here are the last quarter’s selections and a few thoughts.
Looking for something to read this summer? These were my book choices – and some commentary – from the last quarter. Some are new releases; others not so new. (You can find 1st quarter book summaries here.)
My new year typically starts with a nice selection of books/Christmas gifts waiting to be read. 2022 was no exception, and I collected a nice variety of styles. (You may recall that 2021 started with a common theme of life do-overs.) Amanda Gorman’s poetry signaled a perfect place to start.
