Last week while I was in my recliner trying to endure the pre-root canal tooth pain, I read Boo Mama's book, A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet. I read a few chapters one night, and then I finished the entire book in one sitting the next day. It's that good! Especially if you are a southerner and can so relate to her stories! If you are from another part of our country (or another country!), you will gain some insight into our culture.
I laughed out loud. I teared up. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I highly recommend it for your summer reading. Sophie expertly relates stories about her family that will warm your heart.
Next book on my list: Robinson Crusoe. Actually I am not reading this book, but our whole family is listening to it on CD. It's very long.....so I am not sure when we will be done. I still have not finished Les Miserables. I haven't even picked it up in a few months. I want a large stretch of time to complete it, and since we are not going to Seaside this summer, I am not sure when I will find that block of time to just sit and read a book!
More reading: I received my latest edition of Runner's World magazine a few days ago. It has a 48 page spread all about the 2013 Boston Marathon--complete with photos, narratives of the race, and first hand accounts of the bombings. I flipped through it last night. But I could not read it. Not yet.
What's on your summer reading list?
I joined our book club at church so for the summer I am reading:
ReplyDelete1. Surprised by Joy: the shape of my early life by C.S. Lewis
2. A lineage of Grace: five stories of women who changed eternity
3. The Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn
This will take me to September
And since I read more than one book at a time, I'm also reading "Ministry of Motherhood" by Sally Clarkson
I'll be putting Boo Mama's book on my list. I'm from the south also!
Just finished Sophie's book. Loved! Laughed and Cried
