BOOKS - June / July / August

Book time.

Note - I discovered so many picture books during the last three months that I'm going to do a separate post devoted to them.

Note (Part II) - I wrote the same thing last time I did a book post. Oops.

Note (Part III) - here's a link to the last book post, here's the December / January / February / March one, and here's all the rest.  You can always browse through everything filed under the "books" tag here.

[Edit - here is the children's books / picture books post]

And some of the books I enjoyed reading during the last few months...

The Collected Stories of Richard Yates (At this point I've read almost everything Richard Yates has ever written and this saddens me [both because I won't have any more books of his to read... and because so many of his stories/books are highly depressing]) / The House in Paris by Elizabeth Bowen / True Grit by Charles Portis (I loved this so much - I wish that I had read it when I was Mattie's age) / Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear (as if I needed to start another mystery series.... oh well)

Books I'd Like to Receive for Christmas

This is a rather eclectic mix. Just a bunch of books I'd like to read / page through. You may see one that you'd also like to read.... or one that would be a rather perfect fit for someone you know.

Oh, and is anyone else on goodreads? We can be book-pals. Or something.
