My Own Little Book Corner

June was a busy month.   It started off with celebrating my birthday.   That was followed by a good friend visiting for a few days and then a few days away from home for baseball and exploring.   That resulted in fewer books being read this month - a total of 8. I spanned some different genres this month - suspense, psychological thriller, historical fiction, fantasy and a romcom of sorts.    My favorite was "Hour of the Witch" by Chris Bohjalian.   (You can tell he's one of my favorite authors in that I now know how to spell his last name. 😀)  A close second was my Book Club book - "The Four Winds" by Kristin Hannah.   She has such a great way of making you exist in whatever story you are reading.   My disappointment was "Tamarack County" by William Kent Krueger.   It was a good book, just didn't live up to what I'm use to with a Cork story.    Here's my short impressions -  Someone We Know  by Shari Lapena A suspense story that takes pla

Twelve books in the month of May.   Three out of the park ones - "Tricksters Point", "Molina" and "Anxious People".  Three were above average - "Somerset", "The Identicals" and "Celestial Navigation".  Two were stinkers to me - "The Bookstore on the Beach" and "The Breakdown"   The other four were average reads.   Which average and above are worth reading to me.   I will note that every book I read this month was rated on Goodreads as 3.78 stars or above with 9 of them in the 4 star and above range so as I've often said - my stinkers may be your favorite.    May was a good month as I had a great visit with my bestie and got to travel to California to spend time with our granddaughter, daughter and son-in-law.  I hope you all had a good month and that June has started out with a good book and good friends.   "Somerset" by Leila Meacham   This covers 150 years of the Toliver, Warwick and Dumonts
