My June Reading, 2025

My June reading wasn’t quite as heavy as that photo (taken in Rome last fall) suggests: a few mysteries, a couple of books that are both literary fiction and literature in translation, and a mystery novel I read in Italian (and my husband read in English). Some of the reading was pure escape, some of it thought-provoking and even disturbing. Click through to read the post and join the book conversation. . .

Books I Read in July ’24 (feels so long ago!)

A very tardy Book Post — the books I read in July, before I left for Rome (which we’ve now left for London, where we’re pivoting for Somewhere Else). Post includes a few titles that might fit on your End-of-Summer (or Winter) reading list — and you might have a few to share as well. Click through to read and to join the conversation.
