Greetings!
Summer is coming to a close, and now that the kids are back in school, I’m back
to work. So, I’m sharing one last end-of-summer reading list with you before I
jump into the autumn thriller/mystery season. Fall is amazing. It’s a time of
vibrant landscapes, pumpkin spice lattes, soups and stews, football, and it’s a
time when writers can justify wearing yoga/sweat pants all day. Even though a
lot of us have probably been wearing our jammies or yesterday’s workout gear all
along, it is not universally accepted until the weather turns chilly. Then, who
cares? We’re all too busy looking at pumpkins and leaves to notice.
So, here
goes. I’ve picked some books I want to read, and a couple I wouldn’t normally
read, but probably should. Perhaps, you’ll find a book you come to love
somewhere on this list. In any case, enjoy the day and whatever you’re reading!
Bay of Sighs by Nora Roberts
The
title of this fantasy romance sounds so intriguing I may just buy the book to
have it in my library. It helps that Roberts is an amazingly versatile author.
She’s written enough books to fill several libraries, and can move between
genres, like it’s no big deal. The third book of The Guardians Trilogy is
coming in December, so there is plenty of time to read Bay of Sighs and Stars of
Fortune before Island of Glass
launches.
Curious Minds by Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton
A
new series from a couple of solid authors. Evanovich made a splash with the humorous
Stephanie Plum series, and is collaborating again with Phoef Sutton (they co-authored
Wicked Charms) to launch the Knight
and Moon series. Looks like a fun one.
The Girl with the
Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer
Comedy is
subjective. What one person might find funny another may not. I find humor in a
lot of things, but a lot depends on the situation and my viewpoint. What I’m
saying, is while I don’t watch Amy Schumer, I have found some of her clips and
a couple feature articles about her funny. She’s kind of a big deal right now,
so it might be an interesting read.
Notes
from Barnes & Noble Overview (from B&N site)
“In The
Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy mines her past for stories about her
teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences
that have shaped who she is—a woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand
up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh.”
Sweet Tomorrows by Debbie Macomber
The
conclusion of the Rose Harbor series received a number of positive reviews, I
read more of those now that I’m an author, and this might be a series to
consider binge reading as the summer heat wanes.
Notes
from Barnes & Noble Overview (from B&N site)
“With
Debbie Macomber’s trademark charm and wisdom, Sweet Tomorrows brings to
a close the journeys of cherished characters who feel like old friends.
Macomber has created an enchanting place in the Rose Harbor Inn that readers
will never forget.”
