The Last Page, by Katie Holt
Whistler by Ann Patchett (6/2) The Calamity Club by Kathryn Stockett (5/5) The Things We Never Say by Elizabeth Strout (5/5)
I read Good Joy, Bad Joy - LOVED IT!!
I also loved Ms. Brammer’s book The Collected Regrets of Clover.
A list of upcoming books can be found on my blog at the link below - I have already read some and some are in the queue.
I’ve preordered Whistler from Parnassus Books so I could have an autographed copy. I’m an Elizabeth Strout fan, too, so her upcoming release will be on my reading list, too.
I read an ARC of The Half Life by Rachel Beanland and really enjoyed it. It is scheduled to be released on July 14. I think it is a good model of the new generation of historical fiction novels - a trend away from WW II stories. Rachel Beanland’s newest work is set during the Vietnam War and the era of nuclear subs. Simon and Schuster describes it as: “…a novel set on a remote Italian island about a navy wife’s reckoning with power, love, and the price of staying silent in the Atomic Age.”
Sounds great! I’ve added it to my list!
Diane - I started reading Strout last night and will like finish today or tomorrow (it’s short) it is beautifully written and I love the story at this point.
That’s wonderful, Evonne - thanks for the feedback!
