June already?!

I'm reading Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead Great Circle and listening to too many that get returned to the library before I have a chance to finish them. Today, however, I started The Fire This Time A New Generation Speaks About Race by Jesmyn Ward The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks About Race

Julie M (woolyjooly) | 314 comments I have 3 audio books but only 10 hours in the car. Which should I listen to first? Toni Morrison's God Help the Child? or Akin by Emma Donoghue? or my local fave, Faith Sullivan's Ruby & Roland?

I am curious to know if the book has any connection to the Marilyn Monroe movie. I have never seen the movie but my mother and sisters did.

I believe the Marilyn Monroe movie was "The Seven Year Itch."

Not unusual for a book title to be a play on the title of a movie or another book. My wife reads some mystery series where, when I see the title I just shake my head, because I know the source of the title.

Julie M (woolyjooly) | 314 comments I am reading a lot this month, so far-finished listening to God Help the Child by the incomparable Toni Morrison (R.I.P.) and now into Once Night Falls by Roland Merullo.
