I like the idea of summer reading lists, but mine just all seem to run together.

Since William is in a library reading program, and I am making regular trips to the library, I should be able to find them.

Mockingbird is in my top 5 and I don’t want to do anything that would take away from that. You know there are different stories about how it came to be. If/when you read Furious Hours, you’ll learn more of the backstory.<br /><br />Ed — I thought of you when I read Forty Autumns, knowing your preference for non-fiction. Kelly recommended it and I am grateful!<br /><br />Weaver — I read Canterbury Tales years ago in college and loved it! Maybe it’s time to reread?

Sometimes the book suggested in easy to read and I get through a few others in the month but at other times I don't get anything else read (this month's book is Chaucer's Canterbury Tales - I shall be lucky to get anything else read shalln't I.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-51830374258960975922022-06-19T11:03:48.057-05:002022-06-19T11:03:48.057-05:00I’m not big on lists when it comes to reading.

I also tend to jump around to different genres of nonfiction writing and styles and can quickly burn out if I don’t.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2987040098977019674.post-84953526584929610522022-06-19T10:52:50.267-05:002022-06-19T10:52:50.267-05:00Interesting list, Bob!

Iron Lake has been on my TBR for awhile, but I hate to get started on another series and I think I remember my options for getting some of the books were limited. The Maid is our book club selection for August, so I'll be reading it soon. I also have Furious Hours on my TBR. A blogging friend recommended it along with both of Lee's novels. (I've only read TKAM) As you know Forty Autumns was one of my favorites last year, too. Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859017153454691633noreply@blogger.com
