Have you read any others by that author? I was listening to the Strong Sense of Place podcast and she recommended this one as an upcoming book (podcast was a little old) and also mentioned another book by the author that she loved but I did not catch the title. Think I'm going to have to do some research....

I'm reading The Loving Cup, the 10th book in the Poldark series.

I think I say this every new season, but I'm not sure I am ready for fall! Today was the first day of classes at the college where I work.

I am reading:

A novel, Sister of My Heart
A non-fiction yoga book, Accessible Yoga
A non-fiction digital book for review, Breath (someone in the previous thread mentioned this book, but I can't recall who)

I thought I should update my last post!

Finished Sister of My Heart and really enjoyed it (although somewhat dismayed that it is the first in a series, haha.

Finished Accessible Yoga, which I liked (although not a lot new to me); returned to the library

Finished another yoga book, The Genius of Yoga. I liked the exercises (kriyas) suggested in this book but didn't like the condescending (to me) tone of the authors.

Still reading Breath (I think I'm about 3/4 now).

Started Stephen King's If It Bleeds a few days ago.

I'm currently reading The Girls Who Went Away. It tells the stories of unwed mothers who surrendered their babies for adoption in the 50's, 60's and early 70's. The majority were sent away to maternity homes. Truly heartbreaking.

I think i posted this in the Summer thread but not sure. It seems like ages since I have posted here. I read Washington Black by Esi Edugyan. Excellent and I highly recommend it. Great characters and story and written beautifully.

I also read The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. Also a great read. Those were the only two books I have read since the pandemic started.
Our book group is meeting in early October to select books for the next year. I am thinking of suggesting the following:
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
A Woman of No Importance by Sonia Purnell.
I just picked all of them up at Costco. The second two weren't even on my radar screen but now they are.
I have tons of unread books on my shelf that I pitched to book group that weren't selected. Not sure when I will get around to reading them so might get rid of the ones I know I will never read (realistically)
