Books! Books! Books!

  There are books to be read as we relax!  What is your choices for summer time?  There are lists of favorite reads of 2022--here is one list.  I've not read any of these books; so guess they're not on my list of favorites!  Now, here is a list that Goodreads recommends.  I like this list--have read couple--"The Maid" was fun read. And "The Cartographers"--interesting! 

I enjoyed "A Man Called Ove", "This Tender Land", "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", "The Women of the Bible Speak", "The Last Thing He Told Me", "The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell", "Tobacco Wives" "Where The Crawdads Sing"--just a few that I've read this year. 

I’ll read mostly in the evening but I’m having a hard time with this book—
It is beautifully written, moves along nicely—I just 
Can’t read this story at night!  It is a tale about two sisters living in France during WWII, German occupation of the country; tragic happenings through the time—very disturbing.  It is unbelievable what the people went through—wondering if I could cope if faced with the same situation. 
So, this story will be read during daytime hours.

Therefore, at bedtime I’ve switched to this book
Written by author, singer songwriter, Mike Blakey
Mike has a way with words and he loves American history.  You can find his music on most audio outlets—we are fortunate that he is living in our community where we can enjoy his music often at various venues. 
“Comanche Dawn” is the story about horses and Comanches—very well documented and researched. 

What are you reading this summer?
