Village Diary, copyright 1957, by “Miss Read” aka Dora Jessie Saint, is pleasant fluff about village life in rural England in the 1950’s.

All chosen by aimlessly wandering the stacks or from the new shelf and one from a series I’m reading and the last one a re-read. I have 4 books on the table I am currently reading, all of them from the local, public library near my house. I also picked up a copy of Fredrick Backman’s Bear Town, following your January IG suggestion ❤️Īnd I’ve begun following some of the fun accounts you suggested. I’ve really enjoyed going back and reading “older” titles. I was so excited to see she has a new one coming out in March: French Braid. Landslide was good.Īnne Tyler is always so good and I encourage anyone who has not read her to do so. While I waited for Honor/my local library was slower than usual/I suppose the whole “supply chain” thing, I read The Maidens, Landslide & A Spool of Blue Thread by Anne Tyler. The dialogue seemed a little too simple at first, so hoping it picks up. I will definitely get back to it.Ĭurrently reading Honor, the Reese pick. I had read the essay about getting rid of stuff. I think favorite is her novel State of Wonder. I started These Precious Days, but did not finish it & being a library book, had to return it as others were waiting on it. Short and sweet reviews of what I’ve been reading lately

I can’t wait to hear about your recent reads in comments. In a show about books, I can’t help but discuss my current reading. (I also share what I’m currently reading in our weekly podcast newsletter: if you aren’t already signed up, click here to get on the list.) If you’re interested in hearing more about my recent reads, I highly recommend tuning into my podcast What Should I Read Next. This is just a sampling of the books I’ve read since our last round of Quick Lit. (I was hoping to tell you about one more fun book in today’s round-up, but alas, I still have 40 pages to go!) (Soon!) But I didn’t want my reading month to feel rushed, and so as you’ll see, I spent a great deal of time slowly working my way through an essay collection, a nonfiction craft book, and a lengthy sequel to a mystery I loved. I read a nice little stack of spring and summer 2022 releases this month, and more time vetting books for future Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club selections, and I can’t tell you about those yet. Welcome to Quick Lit, where we share short and sweet reviews of what we’ve been reading lately on the 15th of the month.
