She Is Too Fond of Books: Playing Catch-Up

It's been weighing on my mind that I've written NO book reviews in ages. But I have been reading. So I took a break from packing to share a list of what I've read over the past few months. These are off the top of my head, so I'm forgetting a few, but this is better than nothing, right?

 

• The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, by Rebecca Skloot
• The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, by Stieg Larsson
• Shakespeare, by Bill Bryson
• Tyler's Row, by Miss Read
• Midwives, by Chris Bohjalian (not as good as The Double Bind)
• House Rules, by Jodi Picoult (Okay. Learned a lot about Asperger's.)
• 84, Charing Cross Road and The Duchess of Bloomsbury Street, by Helene Hanff
• The Unbearable Lightness of Scones, The World According to Bertie, The Saturday Big Tent Wedding Party, and Love Over Scotland, all by Alexander McCall Smith
• The Forgotten Garden, by Kate Morton
• The Paris Wife, by Paula McLain

And my favorite thus far:

Major Pettigrew's Last Stand, by Helen Simonson

 

If you're looking for titles for your summer reading, these should get you started. Happy reading!
