A very tardy Book Post — the books I read in July, before I left for Rome (which we’ve now left for London, where we’re pivoting for Somewhere Else). Post includes a few titles that might fit on your End-of-Summer (or Winter) reading list — and you might have a few to share as well. Click through to read and to join the conversation.

My May reading: Mystery, Literary Fiction (American women in 1960s Vietnam; Vietnamese refugees in late 70s; a marriage foundering during an ex-pat year in Brazil; dystopia in Dublin); Ruth Reichl memoir. It’s all here — maybe you’ll find something you’ll want to read as well. . .

2023 was another rich year of reading, and putting my Annual Book List together was a good way to remind me of so many great titles. This list offers those titles with briefest of descriptions (genre, setting, subject, etc) and a link back to the monthly post in which the fuller entry originally appeared. Perhaps you’ll find your next book here? Click through to peruse. . .
