Summer reading. Pick up a paperback and waste a little time. Haul it to the beach. Toss it in your tote or shove it in your purse. I love summer reading.
I like to read Minnesota writers and watch the book reviews in the Sunday paper for new leads. Today had a review for "August Moon", a novel by Jess Lourey, a Minnesota writer. She sets the books in Battle Lake, MN. Battle Lake where my dad had an aunt who lived to be about 100. Good old central Minnesota.
I have read all the books by Joann Fluke who writes a series about a Minnesota heroine named Hannah. Hannah runs a cookie bakery. I've read all the Goldie the caterer novels (Diane Mott Davidson) and the series of "tea shop" books by Laura Childs. Innocent, engaging books you could give to the pastor's wife. Summer reading. So I was anxious to read the Battle Lake series the reviewer billed as "murder by the mouth". What was this chic cooking up. I went to the library's online request site and was first in line. It pays to get up early and read the paper and request books before others who do the same thing. I Googled the author and found out about the "Murder by the MONTH" books. Maybe she's not cooking anything up after all. Time to get my eyes checked. I am going to start with "May Day and "June Bug" and then "August Moon".
By then it will be time for September Rains, but she hasn't written that book yet.
