Already June is here and the book blog writer is a day late. I guarantee you that I do much worse with birthday cards & gifts!
The Book of the Month for June is:
Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls. Some of you will recognize the author of Glass Castle. I highly recommend Glass Castle to everyone. It was not only a story of family but the complete leniency and opposite of the 'helicopter parents' of today. If you read those books I am sure you could classify both as being child abusive.
I am halfway through Half Broke Horses so I won't give away any of that book at this point.
A review of The Color of Water will be forthcoming in the next week. I know that Murray Rider abandoned us for the month of May. He is so busy with golfing and working and ..... I do have so much to say about the last two books but with golf and quilting and.... Is anyone else out there? I know Maria queried whether I had blogged in a while therefore --- here I am! If anyone has book suggestions please post them. We all know how life can get busy so in the meantime, happy reading.
Have an awesome day,
Barbara
Dear Blog-mistress (wow sounds like a title from 50 shades of grey?). I regret skipping May's reading I may circle back around to "The Color of Water" but no promises. I am feeling "pressured" and behind with 3 or 4 books sitting on my nightstand (2 started not finished. I so enjoyed Glass Castle I will continue to hold off on those to read this months required reading. Might I suggest a "summer hiatus" (July, August) for those who PROMISE to read a book each month and actually report back to the group? Kind of like a college summer reading requirement. Only a suggestion (selfish one I admit-looking for credit for reading my backlogged nightstand!).
