I am starting with books that I committed to reading for book group:
#1 - Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gyasi (June)
#2 - Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi (July)
Next are some books from my unread shelves:
#3 - Voyage of the Dawn Treader by C. S. Lewis
#4 - A Question of Guilt by Frances Fyfield
#5 - The Republic of Love by Carol Shields
#6 - Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris
#7 - After all these Years by Susan Isaacs
#8 - Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes
A couple of re-reads I have been wanting to get to:
#9 - In the Teeth of the Evidence by Dorothy L. Sayers
#10 - Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
In the hope of actually getting through this challenge I am adding a bunch of mysteries (that I don't own):
#11 - Aunt Dimity's Death by Nancy Atherton
#12 - Lineage Most Lethal by S. C. Perkins
#13 - The Old Silent by Martha Grimes
#14 - Fortune and Glory by Janet Evanovich
#15 - The Doctor of Thessaly by Anne Zouroudi
And finally some non-mystery books (that I don't own) from my TBR list:
#16 - Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
# 17- The Sugar Camp Quilt by Jennifer Chiaverini
#18 - The Sweet Taste of Muscadines by Pamela Terry
#19 - Susan, Linda, Nina, and Cokie by Lisa Napoli
#20 - The Shadow in the Garden by James Atlas
I have placed requests for most of these at my public library, spread out through June and July so they won't all show up at once. There are a few that I will need to request through interlibrary loan but I should be able to get hold of everything on the list over the summer.
I enjoyed Dawn Treader and Rules of Civility, and I think both are great for summer reading. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteExcellent selection! Happy reading! I also have Rules of Civility and Reading Lolita in Tehran on my shelf needing to be read!
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with many of these authors but have not tried their books.
ReplyDeleteI read Aunt Dimity's Death and liked it a lot. I thought it might be too cozy but it was fun. I have Rules of Civility, but haven't read it yet. I plan to read something by Carol Shields someday. I think I have books of her short stories.
I have read the first 13 books in the Richard Jury series by Grimes, but it has been a long time. I should continue on and read more of them. They are on my TBR shelves.
