Top Book for May

As always Kristy Woodson Harvey spins a very good story and I love the southern flavour. The narration of the book by Janet Metzger and Candace Thaxton was perfect to this listener.

Least liked book...

I found this a little one sided and to be honest a bit boring in parts.


Looking Forward to in June...

I may not reach on actually reading this in June but the anticipation of it arriving in the post is book pleasure enough!

  1. You had a nice month, Kathryn. I read a couple of them. Hopefully you'll get to Happiness for Beginners (if not now, eventually). I really enjoy Center's books. I received an unsolicited arc of The Summer I Met Jack. Sorry to hear it wasn't a great read for you. Not sure when I'll get to it so I might just spotlight it. Thanks for the heads up. My favorites of the month (a tie): Beach House Reunion, The Sugarhouse Blues, The Endless Beach.

  3. I just bought my first Mary Balogh book-that will be on my STS this weekend, Is the book The Summer I Met Jack about JFK? I am a serious buff-thought I would ask!! I love how organized you are!!

    1. This book has a slight inclusion of JFK as a love interest but mostly about the woman who got involved with him. Its fiction but no doubt some truth, but... I just thought it portrayed the Kennedy's quite harshly on the whole and on one is black or white.

  6. You had a nice reading month! I've been looking at The Summer I Met Jack and I think I'll take a pass on it. Lighthouse Beach sounds wonderful and I'm hoping to get to it soon. Hope June is wonderful!

  11. That's a good reading month for you, considering how much you had going on. I read just 5 books...plus one I read half of and a poetry book I forgot to count back in April :) Still, those 5 were all great, so I'm happy.

    Hope you have another good reading month in June - thanks for hosting the link-up!
