Book Chat - 7/14/2022

We are on a driving trip. I’ve read some really good books so far.


Killers of the Flower Moon
 by David Grann
In the early 1920s, wealthy Osage Indians were being murdered. It finally took a new crop of federal investigators to solve the crimes. This group was the birth of what we now know as the FBI. Very good nonfiction book.

Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Written in an interview/documentary style, the novel is about a rock-n-roll band that acquired a female lead singer. She is highly reminiscent of Stevie Nicks. It is very good.

Seven Days of Friday by Alex A. King
Greek American Vivi’s (shirt for Paraskevi) marriage has fallen apart. Between her mother’s meddling and her teenager’s sullen attitude, it’s time for a change. She up and moves to her parents’ village in Greece. It’s a beach read, but most enjoyable. Maybe, because I could relate to a lot of it.

Saving Sandcastles by Meredith Summers
A pastry baker in a small seaside town feels threatened by the bread store opening across the street. She and her two best friends help each other navigate their issues. Another beach read and it’s cute.

Adulting by Liz Talley
This rom-com is about a drugged out actress who was sent to rehab yet again. The producer of her next film needs to insure her, but in order to do that, the rehab will have to stick. It was cute.

Here’s one I read a while back:

Honeysuckle Season by Mary Ellen Taylor
A photographer is asked to photograph a wedding at an historic estate. She has memories of visiting the property with her mother when she was very young. Soon she discovers family secrets that tie to the present. It was good.

MK out.
