It has been quite some time since I did a book club situation. And yet my reading has not slowed down. While I was in Europe I actually finished FIVE books! Here’s what I’ve been reading:
The Paris Wife
I’m about 2-3 years late in reading this book but I am so glad I did. This book about Ernest Hemingway written from the perspective of his first wife was so fascinating. I love a good historical account where I can learn about a prominent literary figure.
American Prison
The author of this one is a journalist who went undercover in a private prison in Louisiana. He details his experience in the system as well as delves into the background of the American Prison system (specifically privatized prisons). I found it absolutely insightful and educational and loved the perspective.
People Like Us
I’m 99% certain this is a book for teens but I loved it. It’s a super quick read about kids at a private boarding school and a murder that takes place. Not a hard read, it took me a day to finish. It’s a cute light and easy book for lounging by the pool or passing the time on a flight.
City of Girls
I’m a huge fan of Elizabeth Gilbert so this was a must read for me. It’s a super provocative historical fiction novel that mixes in a lot of saucy romance. Again, an easy read fit for the beach as it doesn’t take a lot of brain work to follow. I loved the descriptive language and the 40’s have always been of interest to me.
