Diane - I like this plan that you have. I tend to decide what I will read next only to be distracted with a hold that became available for pick up or a new release or an impulsive buy at the bookstore. Next thing I know it's a month later and I still haven't read the book! Have a successful reading month in June.
ReplyDeleteI am more than halfway through with The Passage and I am still loving it so hopefully you will too.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten my list together yet. I keep changing it. I need to just suck it up and post it.
Mudbound is fantastic! I'm sure you'll love that one. I wasn't a big fan of House at Riverton, but I suspect that you will be. Enjoy all your books!
ReplyDeleteGreat books on your list! I was planning on A Moveable Feast last month, but still haven't gotten to it. I'm reading The Forgotten Garden now.
ReplyDeleteI like your list. I have read a few of them but would like to see your review of Secret Daughter.
ReplyDeleteHave a good reading month.
So many great books on your list, Diane. I hope you enjoy them all. Can't wait to see what you think of The Passage. I know I won't be reading it for a long while (didn't score an ARC) but I've put it on my tbr list after seeing a lot of good reviews. I have Mudbound on my shelf and really should try to read that this year. I've heard The Forgotten Garden is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh, you will really like Mudbound; it is SO good! I also have Girl in Translation and and Secret Daughter on my summer list (along with about 40 other books...it's just not do-able, I don't think)
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking forward to hear what you think of A Moveable Feast--I've been curious about Hemingway.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hope you love A Northern Light as much as I did!
Looks like you're in for a good month! :)
Diane - I have followed your lead this month and created a list too. It seemed to work for you, so I am keeping my fingers crossed it will work for me too.
ReplyDeleteI loved Mudbound and The House at Riverton, I hope you do too.
I really liked Let the Great World Spin. I brought Those Who Save Us with me for the train ride to NYC, but I only read a handful of pages before getting involved in a zombie book I picked up for my husband at BEA.

I am really liking The Passage so far. Its a real page turner. I will be curious to see what you think as well :)
ReplyDeleteVery good plans-I will be interested to see how you like Hemingway's a Movable Feast-if you can please let us know how you react to his take on Ford Madox Ford-thanks and have a great reading month
ReplyDeleteI gotta get to The Passage soon! Feels like I'm among the few that aren't reading it *right now.*
ReplyDeleteA Northern Light is a great book, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Nice list. I am so weird, when ever I make a list of must reads, I end up reading other things. It is as if the rebel in me screams "oh you can't tell me what to read" LOL.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have some time off this summer and I am determined to read from my TBR shelf. Wish me luck.
Making a list seems to work well for me too. I hope you enjoy the two Kate Morton books as much as I did. Good luck with your reading in June.
ReplyDeleteYou are organized! I look forward to reading your posts, particularly on Let the Great World Spin and A Moveable Feast.
