Recently I was visiting Susan's blog The Cue Card and read about a book event hosted at 746 Books called The Twenty Books of Summer. Now that I have noticed this event, I am seeing it on other friends' blogs. How did I not realize this before (head in clouds) ⛅
You can link up at 746 Books HERE. Check it out if you are interested. I don't think I can accomplish twenty books but I will give it a whirl on ten books to start.
Starting the list was fun and here are twelve titles I am considering. I added an extra two in case in have a few DNF books. Seems I have one DNF a month on average. Life is too short to plow through a book you aren't loving.
** For what it's worth, I don't use audible and read the books rather than listening. That works for some people and I have tried but...sometimes the audible reader has an inflection or emphasis on certain passages which are different than my own when reading. Does that makes sense?
Think of The Martian movie, if you've watched it. The character Mark Whatney says "Are you kidding me?" with exasperation verses "Are you kidding me?" as a point of interest.
Anyway............ my list is below 👇
- The Night of the Flood by Zoe Somerville
- Ask gain, Yes by Mary Beth Keane
- A Time Remembered by Olga Gruhzit-Hoyt
- September by Rosamunde Pilcher
- Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano
- An Astronomer in Love by Antoine Laurain
