Thanks for sharing, Mel. I just gifted Remarkably Bright Creatures to a friend. Add it to your summer list if you haven't read it yet. The movie on Netflix, starring Sally Field, is good, too. Happy Summer Reading!

That is an interesting list and can. move us into reading something fresh. I just read a book from a long time fiction author who writes about the time around the 1500's in Italy. "The Marchesa" by Sarah Dunant. This last book of hers was not as good as her other ones. But she also did a fresh take on how she usually writes and put photos of the art work she writes into the story in the book. The lady she wrote about was a big art patron in the early 1500's.

I decided to go back to the biography section of the library and find some interesting looking ones about people's real lives. I did this during the pandemic and it kept me sane.

I decided to read a book with a local, chaotic, bookclub that was originated to read books about our state or authors from our state. So next month is a book called The Hunting Wive and I didn't write down the authors name. Was able to get it at the public library but waiting on the text that they pulled it off the shelf for me. The leader likes to read gory and I find rapes and sexual abuse traumatic so this is a sometime bookclub for me. I am going to read this book and if I can stand it, I'll go to the meeting.

Thanks for the info. You can look on the list by Good Reads also. I enjoyed watching the Netflix movie with Sally Field. It was good.
