Finished "Olive, Again" for the 2nd time and loved it twice as much! Elizabeth Strout is a master of character writing. Also read "Future Home of the Living God" by Louise Erdrich. Not my favorite of hers by far, but compelling nonetheless. Erdrich is another of my top 5 authors of all time. As I reflect now, I'd have to say 4 women are in my top five: Barbara Kingsolver, Strout, Erdrich, and Toni Morrison (in no particular order). Hmm . .

Yay! That makes my bookish heart so happy, I need to pick it up.
I’m listening to LADY CLEMENTINE By Marie Benedict. Stories from the life of Winston Churchill’s busy wife.
I am listening to Summer of '69 by Elin Hilderbrand because I just finished reading Barefoot by the same author. I switched over to a mystery and am now reading Falling in Love by Donna Leon.I just finished listening to The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi and I loved it. If you listen to recorded books try this one, the narrator is very good and instantly has the ability to transport you into that the world of Jaipur, India in 1955. This title is going to make my Best of the Year list. It certainly is going to be one of the best works of historical fiction that I have read so far this year.
