Here are a few books I’ve enjoyed this summer that I’d like to share with you.
THE UNCOMMON READER by Alan Bennett.
The perfect book to read during the year of the Diamond Jubilee!
MRS. PALFREY AT THE CLAREMONT by Elizabeth Taylor.

ANY MRS. MALORY MYSTERIES by Hazel Holt.
This writer got me through the heat wave. She is like a cool bath or a glass of cold lemonade, not too sweet. Tart.
MARY OLIVER/POETRY.

That’s it! If you have any books you' d like to share, I'd love to hear about them.
