My Recent Post

Mid-Year Book Freakout

What I Read Last Week

First Impressions by Charlie Lovett (I will be rereading this one at some point. It was so good!)
Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper (Finally reading this series that I should have read when I was a kid.)

What I'm Reading Now

The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George (You know, I think I added this one to my TBR - and later bought it - on the title alone. I realized as I started reading it that it wasn't quite what I expected, and I don't think I ever even read the blurb on the back!)

What's Coming Up Next

Think No Evil: Inside the Story of the Amish Schoolhouse Shooting. . . and Beyond by Jonas Beiler (Book club book for July.)

The Paris Bookshop book caught my eye. Sounds nice.

The Little Paris Bookshop looks tempting. Recently I downloaded The Bookshop on the Corner and hope to love it.

Think No Evil looks good, too. Enjoy your books, and here are <a href=http://bluemondaysnomore.wordpress.com/2017/07/08/weekly-updates-more-triple-digits//> MY WEEKLY UPDATES </a>

I remembered looking at the Paris bookshop one but never actually reading it. Hope you're enjoying!

I devoured it in two days. It was good, even though it wasn't quite what I was expecting!

I read The Little Paris Bookshop earlier this year on a recommendation. It's not normally my kind of read -- a little mushy and overwritten in places -- but I ended up really loving it thanks mostly to the last third. There are some wonderful meditations on grief and recovery that resonated with me.

You can tell Nina George had been there. She described grief so poignantly and honestly. I can see why this book would have been a good fit for you, Kim. I think it would be experienced differently by those who had never grieved for someone close to them.

Wow, if you are already planning a reread then it must be good! I will have to check it out.

That mid-year freak out looks fun!

Literary mystery + Jane Austen = Book that must be on my shelf. It was so good!

I didn't read the Dark is Rising series until I was an adult. We're in the last few days in our current place. It seems like the work to move will never end. <a href="http://pussreboots.com/blog/2017/comments_07/what_are_you_reading_0710.html">Come see what I'm reading</a> when I'm not packing.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who missed out on this series as a kid. Hope you enjoyed it as an adult!
