I know most folks are in the full swing of summer but not us 'round Washington. We have just barely gotten a taste of it. I'm hoping summer will come full blast with the heat soon. In the meantime, I'm finally getting summer reading list up if you need some good ones this summer.
Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline - This has been on my list forever. It is a captivating story of an Irish orphan living in America that gets sold into endentured servatude. It is a gripping story about our country's history that, quite frankly, I know very little about. Kline swings back in fourth in time, telling this piece of historical fiction.
The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks - Have I recommended this before? Read it again. It is truly Sparks's best stories - truly a meaningful story of love and commitment. And who doesn't love a romance novel in the summer time?
One Summer in Paris by Sarah Morgan - I absolutely loved reading this. A middle aged woman just found out her husband of 25 years has had an affair and she chooses to go on their anniversary trip to Paris anyway...alone. There she meets a young English woman, trying to find her identity separate from her alcoholic mother. Together they create a friendship, take risks, find love...all during a summer in Paris.
The Woman in the Window by AJ Flinn - She can't leave her house because of her mental disorder so instead she drinks bottles of merlot and spies on the neighborhood from her window. Harmless craziness until she witnesses a murder and no one believes her. It is a fast page Turner you will.love from the first page.
Educated by Tara Westover - I don't normally like memoirs but oh my goodness. This one is a large turner. Westover was raised by her paranoid conspiracy theorists/survivalist parents in the middle of nowhere, not even teaching her to read, while she fought and hid from her abusive brother. She had to educate herself and find her own truth in her family and in society
