Lots To Read For Sure!!!

Have you ever distracted yourself while you were reading a perfectly wonderful book to pick up yet another perfectly wondrous book and start reading it too?
Whew!!!
I never do this! I am a one book at a time kind of reader. But now I started reading this one.
It's sad and sweet. a family tragedy. A ton of dysfunction. Marriages on edge. Overwhelming sorrow.
Yum!




So I find myself reading the above book while I am reading this book. And it's odd because I only really really really like reading one book at a time. Ever.
What have I learned from this one? If you want to live to be 114 or more...drink a cup of hot water with a squeeze of lemon and a drop of olive oil in it every day!
This book is a saga of a family of women who live on an olive grove. So good!




New books this week are lovely ones...from Mary E. Stone...and Shelf Awareness.
I will give you very brief summaries.
Gardening with a serious twist and a surprise visitor...




Corruption, dysfunction and reclaiming a son?




Stories about the mythology of the American West?




And from Edelweiss...my new NetGalley rival...
A magical city, a rebellion and love?




Twins, inventing and fun?




Wife catching and witches?




Four women facing their past?




I really have no clue what to read next...
But this one is tempting me...and about to expire on NetGalley. I love this author's work.




Which lovely book would you choose?

  5. I usually like to read one book at a time- but once in a while I am captivated by too many books at once. I am actually reading three books right now. Maybe it is summertime... You sure managed to find great books!
