Louise Penny. It had been recommended by a lot of people, (especially the Modern Mrs. Darcy blog) so I wanted to give it a try. I will definitely read the next book in the series.
I enjoyed Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos. It was hard for me to get into at first but by the end it all came together. I may read another book from this author in the future.
I listened to two non-fiction books this month. Rising Strong by Brene Brown was inspiring. I will probably review this in hard copy as well. The Gratitude Diaries by Janice Kaplan was a good listen. I recommend it for a long car ride.
What I'm Reading Next: I am currently reading If I Forget You by Thomas Christopher Greene. I am only a few chapters in but I like his writing style. On audio I have Be Frank With Me by Julia Clairborne Johnson. My husband and I listened to a few chapters on the way home from a road trip yesterday and we were both laughing...ALOT.
I have Brene Brown's Daring Greatly and need to pick it up. I would like to read your review of Rising Strong.

I've read one Brene Brown and I want to read Daring Greatly and then Rising Strong next.
ReplyDeleteThat's great you started getting into the Louise Penny series - I think they're great, and it's always such a bonus to enjoy something and then know that there are lots more where it came from :) And I thought Be Frank with Me was one of those perfectly quirky but endearing books. I bet it would be fun on audio!
ReplyDeleteBe Frank With Me was great on audio. I really enjoyed it.
DeleteSo many people read Louise Penny in the linkup this month! It just means I need to read it ASAP!
ReplyDeleteyes I felt the same way after hearing about it for two years.
DeleteYou can't go wrong with books that make you laugh.
ReplyDeleteI think it's time for me to read my next Louise Penny.
There is a book club discussion at my library Monday night about Still Life. I enjoyed it.
DeleteI read Love Walked in years ago and remember liking it. It was a light easy read.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Gamache books so really happy to see you started reading them. They get better as they go!
Just popping in from Quick Lit and had to say "hi" from a fellow Rhode Islander. (I've always wondered if there were more Modern Mrs Darcy fans here ;)
ReplyDeleteLoved Daring Greatly by Brene Brown, would love to give some of her other works a try as soon as I get some space on my reading list. I also really loved Still Life, planning on reading the rest soon.
So nice to meet you Ruth. Great to meet another RIslander. :)
ReplyDeleteI want to read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong soon. I really liked Brene's The Gifts of Imperfection (her first book). I liked Be Frank With Me on audiobook. Charming story!
