Believe it or not, I do not spend EVERY moment in the kitchen baking or cooking! Between pool time and several hours of work a week, I have enough time to read.
In July, I read these, and a few more books I have passed on to others.
One of my book clubs is off for the summer, but the other read this last month:
I really liked Double Bind, as it is a novel that deals with psychological issues, with quite a twist at the end. There was a very lively discussion at our book club, as there are three therapists and a psychiatrist in the group!
This month we read
This was a novel about a bi-racial east coast family, with quite interesting characters, that I also enjoyed.
Of course I have been thumbing through these, before our Italy trip!
And I always hoard up a few books I really want to read to take to Italy with me. I figure I can get through these in three weeks and two long flights! Brad will pack two to save the weight in my luggage, and two will be in carry-ons.
Right now I am half way through Simple Genius by David Balducci.
It's got something of interest for both Brad and Palmabella... murder and CIA/military secrets for him, and a mental institution and an autistic child for me.
Happy reading everyone!

I am so glad you are taking "That Summer in Sicily" to read! I loved it!

Palma, I thought Playing for Pizza was fun, I always love Donna Leon, and I found We Need To Talk About Kevin was devestating. What did you think about it? I was utterly gobsmacked by the ending. That is, when the book opens you know the basic story, but the details were unbelieveable.

Of those I have read only Leon's "Suffer the Little Children." I am so envious!
