What Are You Reading?
Summer Plunges, 2011
I’ve just finished two books I thoroughly enjoyed, Kent Haruf’s Plainsong and Tina Fey’s Bossypants, for completely different reasons. That’s the divine pleasure of reading, of course. You can plunge into books that tickle, delight or trouble the manifold sides of yourself. I simply know, when I find a good read, that it was stupendous, and it makes me crave more.
My book pile is enticing me, and now that we have a sunny day, my hammock is calling me, too. This morning I pre-ordered Charlie Joe Jackson’s Guide to Not Reading by Tommy Greenwald which promises to be my sort of fun, and I expect I’ll want to reread my girlhood favorite, A Girl of the Limberlost by Gene Stratton-Porter, to go with the moth season as I do every year.
Here are the other books in my current pile:
Nightspell by Leah Cypess
Sisters Red by Jackson Pearce
Sleepwalk With Me by Mike Birbiglia
Possession by Elana Johnson
Rose Sees Red by Cecil Castellucci
Middlemarch by George Eliot
A Kingdom Far and Clear by Mark Helprin and Chris Van Allsburg
Here’s hoping you have a luscious summer reading pile, too!

Yes, PRIZED comes out in France on November 10th! I really enjoyed MISTWOOD, and keep thinking about the shifter character. It’s funny to look back at this list because I’ve read a ton of other books since then, but only Greenwald’s from this post. That’s the nice thing about TBR piles, though. You can always keep adding.
All best,
Caragh
