Summer Lovin - Read With or Without Your Dictionary

Summer heat. Summer rain. Summer thunderstorms. Summer nights. These are all good reasons to cuddle up with a book and read. Below are my picks for summer reading and why I've chosen them:

 

CRIMINALS - My family's life on both sides of the law by Robert Anthony Siegle. Deeply personal. A memoir. Sielge lives in NC with his family. Who is his family? Hell's Angels! 

 

1) WACKY TALES OF ANIMAL ANTICS - Sterly, best dog ever by Aidan Cassie

2) DID YOU EAT THE PARAKEET? - By Mark Iacolina. Two great books to read with children and you'll love them too!

 

THE SEVEN HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO - by Taylor Jenkins Reid. A story about an old Hollywood, reclusive, glamorous starlet. You probably won't be able to put the book down. 

 

THE BANKER'S WIFE - by Cristina Alger. A tale about a former financial analyst and corporate attorney mixed in with real-world life experiences, inside trading, a plane crash in the Alps. A great companion for wine lovers who love to drink and read. 

 

SPYING ON WHALES - by Nick Pyenson. If you love to go on a whale watch like me, you may fall love with this story. The author is a curator of marine mammal fossils for the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History. His evidence based on predictions will leave you gulping for air! It's a great voyage for summer reading!

 

And of course, if you can't find what you're looking for, you can do what I like to do when I just want to discover something new - ask for the BIG DICTIONARY at the Library. This one is Webster's New International Dictionary, second edition, unabridged, 3,350 pages, cost $1,300,000.00, or you could sit there and randomly pick your pages!

 

 

  

Happy reading to all! Patricia

I am listening to Shanghai Girls with Audible, reading Life and Death in Shanghai (a book from the 90s about life in China during the Cultural Revolution) and a silly light murder mystery on my kindle app - but I am always looking for a suggestion of a good book - thanks for these

I may just have to read Spying on Whales. I do have a Second Edition

 

Large Websters Dictionary, not International and not quite so many pages...and not worth much but I like having it around.  I have a thing about OLD books.

Hi Patricia,
Thanks for the book recommendations. I've recently discovered another author I enjoy... Catherine Ryan Hyde.  I wrote about my latest read in today's Testimonial Tuesday.

What a great idea to post a list of "good reads" Patricia.  I haven't read any non-fiction books in quite awhile.  I think I will try and change that this autumn.

Patricia only $1.3 Million for that dictionary.  I think I will just keep on looking up the meaning of words online

As an avid reader, I can say that your list is a good one Patricia Feager. Would love to check out the children's books and read to the Gbabies when they visit. Of course, I make my own stiories up as I go too! THAT is ONE BIG BOOK!

I have The Banker's Wife in my book downloads. I love to read but find it hard to carve out time with teaching 5-10 hours a week. Maybe in the fall.

Oh my goodness, that dictionary, Patricia! Can you imagine carrying that thing from room to room with your book?! I couldn't imagine paying the price either!

As for your recommendations - thank you for those! They all sound delightful but, The Banker's Wife caught my eye - sounds like a great summer read, for sure!

Happy Thursday...err, Friday now!

Gosh Patricia that is a hefty price tag for that dictionary.  I wonder how many they have sold. I have become so spoiled by googling words.....

Happy reading to you!
