It’s not that I have not been reading… I stopped writing reviews when it got to be three weeks before my wedding with much left to do!

I went on an Elin Hilderbrand kick as the weather warmed while waiting for her new novel to come out (yes I re-read The Blue Bistro), re-read a Wrinkle in Time and A Wind in the Door with my daughter Josie, and we are a quarter of the way through A Swiftly Tilting Planet, all childhood favorites of mine the late, great Madeleine L’Engle.

And in other news, we are working on installing a Little Free Library outside of our house in Arlington MA.

I will link to these as I add the reviews; from April to August, I read:

The Pilot’s Wife (re-read) by Anita Shreve
Mystery/Suspense. Not my usual fare, but it’s set in the same home as Fortune’s Rocks, and is connected to two other novels in Shreve’s desire to tell a story about a house and generations of inhabitants.

Fortune’s Rocks by Anita Shreve
Historical. May/December romance set in a large summer home on the NH coastline.

Big Summer by Jennifer Weiner
What I thought was going to be a Nantucket wedding hook-up romance featuring a plus-sized influencer turned into a murder mystery — but I loved the writing and voice enough to keep going.

Booked on a Feeling by Jayci Lee
Romance. I keep opening this egalley, but it scrolls down instead of page to page and I cannot make the print larger so keep closing it to try later.

To Get to the Other Side by Kelly Ohlert
Romance. I keep opening this egalley, but it scrolls down instead of page to page and I cannot make the print larger so keep closing it to try later.

Under the Influence
Romance. I keep opening this egalley, but it scrolls down instead of page to page and I cannot make the print larger so keep closing it to try later.
