Yes. I know. It's the middle of September and I'm just now getting around to posting my monthly summary for June. We've had a busy summer! A road trip to the Sandhills, a trip to the Oregon Coast, a getaway visit with friends in Missouri (near Kansas City), and a long weekend at the beach in Virginia. Time flies when you're having fun, right? I have to say I'm beginning to look forward to the shorter days of the coming season. I can't wait to curl up on the couch under a warm blanket with a cup of tea and a good book.
But back to my June's stats!
The Wildwater Walking Club by Claire Cooke (2.5/5)
Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman (3.5/5)
In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto by Michael Pollan (4.5/5)

Favorite of the month: Tied between In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan and Home Safe by Elizabeth Berg. Two very different books, yet both were extremely enjoyable to read.

Well, better late than never, right? LOL I have a Michael Pollan book but I can't remember which one. I started it and ended up setting it aside because of other obligations. It's probably in a box, somewhere. I'm glad to see you enjoyed In Defense of Food.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your favourite books are books I wouldn't mind reading one of these days! I just need more time to read everything that I want to read!
ReplyDeleteNancy - I suppose. Maybe I should start in on September's so I can post in on the 1st. Wouldn't that be original?
ReplyDeleteThere are several other books by Pollan that I'd like to read. The Omnivore's Dilemma. The Botany of Desire. A Place of My Own (great cover!). And, Second Nature. I love his style!
Kailana - I hear you! I'm lucky if I squeeze an hour of reading in each day. Gone are those months of 8-10 books read. I've only finished 31 so far this year!
