After a short vacation, we have had a lot of home large and small appliance "distractions" and technology "distractions." So I have been absent from here.
For our June Mystery Book Club meeting, we read any books from the Award Winning and Nominated Books for 2017 and late 2016. Below is the list of everything the members in our MBC read from the Awards list. It's a lot, isn't it.
I read A Great Reckoning by Louise Penny. This book won an Agatha Award. Louise Penny is one of the book club's favorite authors. I would describe her as a story teller...you feel like you are in the story, can see the scenery, see the characters and smell the great food they describe. If you have read any of her books in the Gamache series, Ruth is my favorite character. :)
I wanted to quickly share the list, in case you are looking for summer reading.
