Hoping I‘m more successful this summer compared to last! This is a mix of books sitting on my shelves and TBR, a couple of bookclub picks, and a few new ones from an author I just discovered. Looking forward to a great summer!

Throwing in the towel in this one…I just don‘t have the headspace for it during all the craziness that is May. I‘m not sure if it‘s a DNF or a Not-Right-Now…

It‘s my May #doublespin pick. @TheAromaofBooks

The Recommendation | Jonathan Caren
post image

I could use some crowdsourcing help! Every year for summer, my book club chooses 3 genres and we each nominate a book and then vote on what we read.

I‘d love to hear some recommendations (good book with the potential for a great discussion) for travel memoirs!

Thank you! 📚

TEArificbooks I just started The Salt Path for my bookclub. It is coming out as a movie at the end of the month and we are going to see it. It is good so far. I also liked Wild, Eat Pray Love, A Walk in the Woods. 2mo
Bookwormjillk Some I've enjoyed lately: Mother, Nature, Walking With Sam, Blue Highways, Leaving Orbit, and Walking The Nile. Hope that helps! 2mo
Amiable I‘m sure you‘ve read “Travels with Charley” by Steinbeck, but I had to throw that one into the mix! 2mo
GinaKButler @TEArificbooks @Bookwormjillk Thanm you!! I‘ll check them out! ❤️ 2mo

My next (mini) chunkster! This one is not as long as ones we‘ve read in the past, but I‘m trying to be realistic…my oldest graduates at the end of May. Senior year is definitely as busy as I‘ve been warned, and I‘m definitely starting to feel all the emotions! 👩‍🎓

Amiable I didn‘t get emotional until senior year of college. Because they came home every summer until then. It was that graduation where they moved out for good that got me in the feels. 😬 2mo

Finally finished my Q1 #chunksterchallenge2025 this morning. I admit that I didn‘t love this one as much as some other chunky biographies that I‘ve read. It‘s incredibly detailed, I only wish that the maps were just as detailed…it was difficult to imagine some of the battles. I‘m glad that I picked this one up…and the spine is beautiful on my shelves! Thanks for hosting, @Amiable #bookspinbingo

TheBookHippie I have this one. Haven‘t read it yet and I love your shelf! So many pretties. 3mo
