I don't know what's happened to my reading life; I really don't! I somehow cannot get caught up on my book reviews or make much progress in reading. It seems like just days since I wrote this April and May in Review post, and I still haven't written most of those reviews. But here goes…
Books Read in June
Climbing the Stairs by Padma Venkatramen
A Room with a View by E.M. Forster
Favorite Book of the Month
A Room with a View. I surely read this before years ago, although I don't actually recall it. I do remember the movie and plan to watch it again. I read it in consideration for a British Lit class that I'll be teaching in the fall, but I don't think we'll read it. Maybe.

I've wanted to read Room with a View for a while, but I have just never gotten to it.
And I've heard really good things about The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
And, I'm also reading The Strange case of Dr Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde!
I like your taste lady :]
Sometimes life gets in the way of reading! And sometimes we just have a dry spell.
I have time where I just can't get it all read. I've turned to using my Kindle to listen to books as often as I actually read. It allows me to turn those dead times when I am riding in car or on the treadmill into productive reading time.
I loved Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. I have read it with my students many times. Enjoy!!
