May Book Report

May 2026, Hog Back Mountain, Vt.

I finished 9 books last month.

Two quotes from this month's reading:

“Because love is vast. Abundant. Infinite, in fact. And the secret is this: love begets love. The more you love, the more love you have to give.” ― Molly Roden Winter, More

“Never marry a man you wouldn’t want to be divorced from." ― Nora Ephron, I Feel Bad About My Neck 

Here are the books I finished in May 2026: 

1. More: A Memoir of an Open Marriage by Molly Roden Winter (4-stars)

2. The Power in the Middle by Elizabeth O'Brien (4-stars)

3. I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron (4-stars)

4. The Operator by Gretchen Berg (4-stars)

5. Tumbling Blocks by Earlean Fowler (3-stars)

6. Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil by Oliver Darkshire (3-stars)

7. Patterns in the Sand by Sally Goldenbaum (4-stars)

8. False Scent by Ngaio Marsh (4-stars)

9. My Dog Tulip by J. R. Ackerley (3-stars)

I have also been browsing my way through 1000 Books to Read Before You Die by James Mustich. I haven't read as many of them as I would have expected, but have found several so far that I want to read. My Dog Tulip was a suggestion from there.
