- The Agony and the Ecstacy by Irving Stone autobiographical novel about Michelangelo I read this book in college and re read it because this fall daughter and I are going to Italy. I found it fascinating reading about how he researched his subjects before beginning and all the prep work that went into each piece. I believe there was divine intervention guiding his hand as he carved and painted.
- Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives by Tom Harford non fiction
- Oil and Marble by Stephanie Storey fiction about Leonardo DaVinci and Michelangelo
- Whisper My Secret A Memoir by JB Rowley a daughter's search to learn more about her mother's early life in Australia.
- Mother of Ten by JB Rowley a continuation of the story
- Everything we Keep by Kerry Lonsdale a love story and about letting go.
- Safe at the Edge of the World by Jean Grainger the sequel to The Tour.
- Sugar, Salt, Fat by Michael Moss non fiction about the food industry and what they have done to food and how they get us to buy it. I don't have to buy it and I don't have to eat it!
- My Funny Valentine by Debbie Macomber romantic fluff just for fun
- My Hero by Debbie Macomber
- The Letter by Kathryn Hughes a young woman's quest to deliver a letter that she found in a coat pocket in a thrift store. The letter was written the day the British Empire entered WW2.
- So Much Owed by Jean Grainger WW2 story that takes place in Ireland. I think this is her best book so far!
I got a message on my kindle the other day that congratulated me on reading 7 books. Huh! I think it should have congratulated me on purchasing 7 books. It doesn't keep track of all the k books I get from the library. My reading lists are at 34 so far this year. Can I do 52? that would be a book a week. I ordered a
paperwhite the other day because they were on sale. Hubby thought it was a screen cover to go over my kindle. No its a new device with a non glare screen so I can read outside in the sunlight or in the shade and it is so light weight. I even got a pop socket to hold it. Its the handiest little gadget to stick on your phone or e reader especially if your hands have a tendency to cramp like mine do. I can read one device until the battery goes dead then I can pick up the other while the battery recharges. Its so nice to have a back up. I heard the cicadas sing when I went for a walk the other evening that means summer is half gone. Happy reading --Ann--
