I really liked The Bookshop at Water’s End…in fact, it was hard to pick favorites this month. So many enjoyable ones. Thanks for stopping by, Diane, and have a great August.

Nice to have a fav NF book too, I don’t read them often but I do read them occasionally. Mostly memoirs like yourself.

Thanks, Kathryn, and I forgot to separate my fiction/nonfiction, etc., into categories for this post, but I read THREE nonfiction books this month. That is unusual, even for me.

What a fabulous month of reading. Two of your favorites are on my TBR list and I can see why it was tough to pick just one! Have a great August, Laurel.

Thanks, Mary, enjoy your August, too. I agree that the month had lots of fabulous books, and I have high hopes for the new month. I continued reading The Bookshop on the Corner last night, and I’m really loving it. The MC is still trying to work around the obstacles to her little “bookshop,” which has been fun.
