It's JUNE, the start of summer and perhaps a little more reading time for us all. If you delve into this list of June holidays, there's a mountain of holiday themes to plan your reading around. So, without further ado, here are a few holiday-themed June reading lists.
Earlier this month, BRP blogger Maryann Miller offered up some Father's Day reads. Here are a few additional lists to consider:
Hold your rainbow flag high with pride with these book lists:

Reading Watchers of Time by Charles Todd, trying to fill in the gaps of the books I've read in the series.
ReplyDeleteA friend and I share silly holiday greetings. Started to say couldn't think how we missed National Hug a Cat Day, but realized her cat probably tore up the memo.
My cat would have torn up that memo too. :D
DeleteAt the moment, I have three books I'm working on. One is an advance copy of a mystery release in a series I love, the second is the advance release of a short story anthology of pioneer women, and the third is a nonfiction book of columns and essays published posthumously for Charles Krauthammer. And then there's the stack of books on my coffee table and on the Kindle...I'll read Red Tide by Peg Brantley next for my Sisters-in-Crime-Colorado book club.
ReplyDeleteAs a fiction reader, I've stepped out of my comfort zone this month and delved into several cookbooks. High on my to-try list are several yummy-sounding recipes with deeply rooted Mediterranean origins. Tabouli and Spanakopita are high on that list, along with a number of soups, salads, and fruit desserts specifically designed for light summer eating. My mouth is watering as I write this. It must be suppertime. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the lists of books to check out, Ann. Not sure if I dare as I have so many on bookshelves and in my Kindle still to be read. LOL And I listen to lots of audio books as reading is still a challenge. I'm listening to Slow Horses by Mick Herron, a British mystery. It was recommended by a mystery readers group I belong to, and it's a terrific read/listen.
