"RABBIT RABBIT RABBIT". Eastern time

Am currently overwhelmed with lots of family moving around so will welcome the new month with you with the familiar quote from James Russell Lowell.

"And what is so rare as a day in June?
Then, if ever, come perfect days;
Then Heaven tries earth it be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays:
Whether we look, or whether we listen,
We hear life murmur, or see it glisten."

Am currently reading a phenomenal book! The story is placed in Italy after the Germans occupied it in WWII. This is a story that I hate to put down. The book is BENEATH A SCARLET SKY by Mark Sullivan. Am on page 257. Highly recommend this read! Have any of you read this book?

I am going to try it...........it is free on my Kindle!

It's an incredible book! Free?????? Do you have Prime, Lyn? I don't. Would enjoy having it in my library. Hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

yes, I pay 10 dollars a month and can have up to 10 books at a time free, they are mine to keep until I decide to get an 11th one, then I have to give one back!  I will let you know

I just went to check it out at Amazon and discovered I already purchased it in April... must have been one of their April First freebies.  I love WWII novels and will pull it up on my Ipad Kindle App and read it.  Thanx rapa

I have Amazon Prime and am offered a choice of 1 of 6 free books on the first of every month. I love Amazon Prime... so many good free movies and all shipping is free on purchases and you get it in 1-2 days... amazing!

I read this and loved it.  I have now touched the rough crags of a mountain, felt the cold snow engulf me.......I have felt great love and great loss.  I have felt the wind in a speeding car.....hung on tight going around curves....I have been to great heights and afraid to look down......and I was left with a lot to think about....good and evil.......choices, courage, love and to know it was actually someone's life.........incredible.

Terrific review, Lyn! You put in words what I felt. Thank you!

Love it...........always good to see quotes you love.......like meeting an old friend again

I just finished a some what true story

The Wives of Henry Oades: A Novel (Random House Reader's Circle)
 
Johanna Moran
and I am still mad at the man in that story!  It is about a family that lives in London in the 1800's the man is offered a promotion if he moves to New Zealand........his wife is reluctant.......with 2 kids to care for......but accompanies him...they face first squalor in New Zealand but manage to build a house......but then the Maori kidnap her and the children while he is at work.....the twists and turns keep it interesting, but I don't believe for one moment that the decisions made in this book would ever be made by anyone.  Good book that can keep me mad at a character for weeks!

Just went to check my May post and realized I hadn't posted all month... shame on me!  I probably says a lot about the books I was reading... nothing to recommend last month except The Orphan's Tale by Pam Jenoff which was also set in Germany during WWII.  I do like that genre.  This recounts the tale of a girl who is ejected from her family because she became pregnant by a German soldier. She joins a German traveling circus...  It held my interest. It is told in flash-back style as she is an old woman when the book begins.

Just finished Heartbreak Hotel by Jonathan Kellerman, an Alex Delaware mystery... pretty good.

Loved THE ORPHAN"S TALE!!!!
Wouldn't you know it's true that when it rains it pours! After a reading dry spell, I now have a pile TBR!

GOLDEN PREY by John Sanford which is a Lucas Davenport case.

BEARTOWN by Fredrik Backmon, the author of A MAN CALLED OVE

THE FIX by David Baldacci.

BTW, the new picture above posted with the help of Lip Service, is the fountain in front of the Cincinnati Public Library.
