Commencement...

In honor of Debbie B. and Toni R. who stood in my driveway last year as we bemoaned never getting together for book club anymore, I've finally gotten around to creating the blog for what we're currently reading and recommend for everybody's next read. Yeah! It only took me what 9 months?!? I'd still rather go to lunch and talk about books but as a second choice, we can at least share what we're reading and like so we all know what to read next!

At the moment, I'm reading two books at once, Loving Frank, an historical novel about the affair between Mamah Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright -- and -- Coal Tattoo by Silas House. Love them both. I'm actually listening to Loving Frank as an audio book. It's surprisingly compelling and a great commentary on love, marriage, and life at the turn of the century.

hello! I just found this blog!

I am reading "Can You Ever Forgive Me?" by Lee Israel because I found it on the bookshelf at work and it looked interesting. Turns out- it's not that interesting. It's a memoir of Lee Israel and how she forged letters from movie stars to make money after her career started spiraling downwards. I'll be switching to new book soon!

Yeah Isabelle! I'm so glad you found this! I did this a while back and only just now got around to actually sending the link on. I'm such a slacker! xoxoxo
