First off, a shout out to ShelleyRae at Book'd Out. I haven't seen you post in a while, you've been in my thoughts and I miss you.
Let's talk fall reading. Or Spring reading if you are in the southern hemisphere :-)
I enjoy making lists as it keeps me focused. Sometimes I deviate but overall, it's helpful. Here's what I have so far but some could get swapped out depending on interest.
Trust by Herman Diaz (currently reading)
Sipsworth by Simon Van Booy (currently reading) #BriFri
Long Island by Colm Toibin #BriFri
The Life Impossible by Matt Haig #BriFri
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante (a buddy read with Susan at The Cue Card)
I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger
The Woman Behind the Door by Roddy Doyle #BriFri
This is a list in progress so I welcome suggestions and comments on any of these you have enjoyed. Four of my books will be linked with Joy's British Isles Friday. Love my U.K. authors :-)

Looks like a great list, I hope you enjoy all of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vicki. I am lookng forward to Long Island in particular.
DeleteI will probably make my list once we get back from our trip, so I can look at my shelves. I have Sipsworth waiting for me at home, and can't wait to start it. I've read on other book by Van Booy and liked it, but I think this one sounds more like my cuppa. I also have Long Island, but may re-watch the show to reacquaint myself with the previous story. I might also join you and Susan reading My Brilliant Friend. I tried the audio a few years ago, but couldn't get interested. Maybe the print edition will grab me. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteLes, I like Sipsworth so far and will look for more of his work. There's a show about Long Island?! I dodn't know that. I liked the book Brooklyn and we watched the mini series but I wasn't aware of the Long Island show. Cool
DeleteSorry for the confusion, Tina. I meant the mini series of Brooklyn. ;)
DeleteI liked Life Impossible; I thought it was okay. Sipsworth really hit me emotionally. I'm very eager to hear what you think about Trust, as it's a book I have on my shelf, as well as the new Leif Enger book.
ReplyDeleteDeb, I liked The Midnight Library very much and I also read How to Stop Time by Haig. Looking forward to his latest. We have some of the same books on our shelves!
