JUNE 2024 READ ANY GOOD BOOKS LATELY?

Hello fellow readers we have made it to another month. Please share your likes and dislikes, and remember that all Genres are welcome.

 

I am currently reading City of Dreams by Don Winslow.

When I closed out the old thread I noticed that you mentioned reading Finding me by Viola Davis. I read that book either last year or the previous year. I agree that it was a tough book to read.

I am currently reading The Melody Lingers On by Mary Higgins Clark.   You know me, slow but sure reader!   We have a small book exchange in our mail room where we live.

I picked it up recently when in there even though my own bookcase is full!

Finished Melissa Storm's Wednesday Walks & Wags, the 2nd in this series.  I read the first one 5 years ago and I actually remembered all the characters.  I hope to read the third one too.

I am reading Still Life by Sarah Winman. The plot revolves around a WWII vet from Britain who visits Florence during the war. He returns to seek a new life shortly after.  I purchased this book because DH, my brother and sister-in-law will be visiting Florence this fall.

So far, I am  enjoying  the colorful characters, settings and plot twists.

Just finished The Last Thing He Told Me by Laura Dave.

 

I enjoyed the drama and mystery of the plot very much.  I don't think I can say anything without giving too much away.

 

Previously, I read Laura Dave's Hello Sunshine, however, IMO it was not as gripping to say the least. Cat Happy

Just finished The Drowning Woman by Robin Harding.  3/5* for me.  Interesting in parts but the ending left me flat.  Did a double take like...is that it?

I'm reading Summers at The Saint by Mary Kay Andrews. Good summer reading but not too much depth. I've read all of her books. Being from Savannah I like to try and find all of the allusions to local names and places that am familiar with. Even though she disguises the names.

@kindred cats  I also read The Last Thing He Told Me.  Not sure if you are aware but they made it into a series on Apple TV with Jennifer Gardner.
