Finished listening to Reap by Eric Rickstad Reap. Now starting Ladies Who Punch by Ramin Setoodeh Ladies Who Punch.

Started reading Dreyer’s English An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style by Benjamin Dreyer Dreyer’s English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style.

How sad is it that I like reading good grammar and punctuation books. This one has wit, too.

Finished reading Dreyer’s English An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style by Benjamin Dreyer Dreyer’s English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style and listening to Ladies Who Punch by Ramin Setoodeh Ladies Who Punch.

Started reading Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney Lillian Boxfish Takes a Walk for the third time (this time for a book discussion - good thing I love this book) and listening to Becoming Dr. Seuss Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination by Brian Jay Jones Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination. I really liked Jones's book Jim Henson The Biography by Brian Jay Jones so I decided to give his most recent biography a read.

Julie M (woolyjooly) | 314 comments Just finished Virgil Wander, by fellow Minnesotan, Leif Enger. So, so good! But not quite up to the quality of his first novel, Peace Like A River, I think. Writing style might be a bit Lake Wobegon/ish for some but I thoroughly enjoyed this crazy story!

I am almost finished So Brave, Young and Handsome and feel the same way. A bit too Mark Twainish....I so loved Peace Like a River
