What Am I Reading This Week?

June 6-12, 2022

 

National Velvet by Enid Bagnold – This is my Children’s Classic for June. I plan to read at least 1 chapter per day. I have borrowed this book from my local library.

 

The Complete Persepolis by Mariane Satrapi – This graphic novel was a gift from my daughter last Christmas. I read 1 chapter per day.

 

The Anomaly by Herve' Le Tellier – I am listening to the audiobook version of this selection. I heard it was for lovers of the TV show LOST which I loved. I have seen all the episodes at least 3 times. I’m anxious to see if it lives up to that.

 

The Jane Austen Society by Natalie Jenner – I borrowed this book from my local library. It is one of the 10 books I have chosen to read this summer from the Modern Mrs. Darcy Summer Reading Guide. The story follows a couple of time lines and so far I am enjoying it very much.

 

Where the Last Rose Blooms by Ashley Clark – This is #3 in the Heirloom Secrets trilogy by Ashley Clark. I have already read the other two and enjoyed them. There are Christian beliefs woven in to the story, but not heavily. It was very naturally done. I am almost finished with this one.

 

Bomb Shelter: Love, Time and Other Explosives by Mary Laura Philpott – This is the June book for the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club. It is a series of essays by Philpott which explores her childhood, her children and their family life. I planned to read just one essay per day, but I am finding it hard to put down. I love when that happens!

 

What are you reading this week? Hope your books are unputdownable, too!

  FIRST LINE FRIDAYS First Line Fridays is a book meme hosted by Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower  . My pick for this week is a Middle Grade novel entitled To: Night Owl From: Dogfish by Holly Goldberg Sloan & Meg Wolitzer . It is one of the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club Summer Reading Guide titles that is on my list to read this summer. Here's the first line (actually a little more):  From: Bett Devlin To: Avery Bloom  Subject: you don't know me  but I'm writing you anyway. This could go into your SPAM. Maybe you're the kind of person who checks the spam. I don't. I found your email address online. You have a strange name. I never met anyone named Avery. But that made it easier to find you. So thank you for having that name.  There it is. I wanted to write more, but I probably exceeded the "first line" thing too much already. I'm reading this book for Reader's Weekend and I want to start it now. It is being compared to The Parent Trap, so I

  First Line Fridays - June 24, 2022  Every night, she and her best friend Wes risk their lives to steal Moonflower petals and distribute the elixir to those who need it most–but it's still not enough. This is the first line from "Defy the Night" by Brigid Kemmerer. I love what she writes. I read all of the Cursebreakers Series and I am attempting to read the rest of her backlist. This one is starting out great!  Go over to Reading is My Superpower and see all the links to the First Line Friday participants.  Happy Reading! Alleluialu

  This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub: I checked this out from my local library this week and have been reading it while I am recovering from Covid. Sorry, my librarians, you will have to quarantine this book when it comes back, but that's not until next week. I like that the chapters are short, but it took awhile to get to the time jump, but now that that has happened, it's moving along well.  The first line is: "Time did not exist in the hospital." That's it! First Line Fridays is hosted Carrie aka MeezCarrie at Reading is My Super Power. Check it out here and add your own First Line!  Library Loot is a weekly event co-hosted by Claire from   The Captive Reader  and Sharlene from  Real Life Reading  that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. Check out what other participants have shared here .  Happy Reading! Alleluialu
