What are you reading this season?
I feel like I’m on a winning streak lately. May brought free cable (thanks to my kid’s job at the utility company), new romance, and two new kittens.
Even so, one of the best parts of any good season for me is enjoying a good book or two (or three).
These are a few of my favorite reads.
SWIMMING WITH MAYA- A Mother’s Story by Eleanor Vincent
A grieving mother finds hope and healing as she donates her daughter’s organs. The author has a gift for slowly recounting scenes until you feel as if you too were there. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard.
LICKING THE SPOON by Candace Walsh Part memoir and part cookbook, I loved meeting the author at a conference a year ago.
“If I’m ever a burden, I’ll just blow my brains out.” Famous last words from author Ariel Gore’s ailing mother, whose complicated life with her daughter morphed into a complicated death for her daughter.
