Thank you so much for the summer reading recommendations! I was looking for my next read earlier today. I just finished Night Watch by Jayne Anne Phillips and loved it! The characters are wonderful! I also recommend The Bee Sting by Paul Murray. It is riveting, and once again, the character development is amazing. After reading the Bee Sting, I checked out an older book by Paul Murray, The Mark and The Void. It is laugh out loud funny. My husband was trying to work in his office upstairs while I was reading it, and ended up pleading with me to relocate or put the book down until he was finished. I would also recommend Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. It is a heartbreakingly beautifully told cautionary tale.
I have 3 audible books to recommend: The Searcher and its sequel, The Hunter both, by Tana French. The reader is great and both stories are gripping. Finally even if you have already read The Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich like I had when I decided to listen to the audible version, you will just enjoy the audible. Louise Erdrich's reading of this wonderful novel is astonishing!
Okay. I know I got carried away.
I can't wait to have Bea's book in my hands. Thank you for all of your recommendations, ladies. I love you. Enjoy the beach.
Anne, thank you for these recommendations! Louise Erdrich is an amazing narrator of her own books--so is Vivian Gornick! I haven't read The Bee Sting but will pick it up next.
Wow! Jennifer! You are so on top of things you have already commented and FTT just this second posted! Greetings and Love from Mamie in beautiful Hilton Head Island!xxxooo
