This spring has been so very busy: my daughter graduated high school, completed many events for various organizations, and finished Year 26 of teaching high school English.
BUT...during that I read four books. Always just a bit of time can be found to read!
16. Lessons I Learned in the Dark by Jennifer Rothschild: I purchased this book at Women of Joy in April when I heard the author speak...learning then about her blindness, learning more about her life as I read her book. Inspiring. Very.
17. The Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen: May's book for Paper Chase Book Club was mine, so I chose this one, one that had rested on my book shelves for some time. Loved it! The ladies also gave it great reviews, appreciating the pull of the bonds of family members and places, questioning the fantasy of the alligator, loving a good romance. :)
18. Long Way Gone by Charles Martin: This one I finished in May...for April's reading for the Women's Bible Cafe Online Book Club. For the first time, I wanted...and want still...so much so to learn to play the guitar. Really! For this book, one might should begin with the author's afterward, for I would have more appreciated the retelling of the story of the prodigal's son. Powerful.
19. Teamwork by Amanda Mayeaux and Monique Wild: This was the first read for Arkansas Reading Association's first ever book club that we hosted online in a Facebook group. Fun, exciting, and a time of learning. I went into this study...and having nearly finished 26 years of teaching...thinking I knew much about teamwork, but...I learned much! Always a good thing.
Summer is here. School is out...and the pile of books for book clubs is increasing. Read here about my summer reading commitments. Yay!
Happy reading!
