june: 29, 30, 31 & 32

finally catching up on telling you what i read in june!


american pop, by snowden wright (this is a fun quick read about a fictional family creating a fictional soda company to compete with coke and pepsi.  it moves around in time through different members of the same family and i found it easy to follow and an enjoyable story line.  not changing my life or anything, but i'd recommend!)



march, by geraldine brooks (oh, i loved this book - the retelling of little women from the absent father's perspective.  i really like geraldine brooks' writing and this book did not disappoint.  if you have read little women i would highly recommend this!  if you haven't, i think you can skip...much of the appeal is that i already "knew" the family.)



ask again, yes, by mary beth keane (this book is getting a ton of press right now and jimmy fallon just picked it to be his summer book club book and he's talking about it on his show on august 15th!  i really loved this book and would highly recommend it.  it's one of those books that doesn't fit a specific pattern and you don't totally know where it's going or how far into these characters' lives you will follow them, but you are super eager to find out more.  there are a few really good cliff hangers.  it's a perfect summer read - i'd highly recommend!)



daisy jones & the six, by taylor jenkins reid (everyone was talking about this book and it's a great vacation read.  it is set up in interview style, with a fictional band looking back on how they formed and their early years traveling the road together.  i legit would forget this wasn't a real band, and when they talked about specific songs or albums i'd almost get up to go listen to it on spotify.  ha!  this book didn't change my life but it was an enjoyable read.)
