In reply to Michelle. Thanks Michelle, I think my dad's digging freedom now at 80. Yeah I was surprised how July releases had a good variety. I thought it would be light this month but no! There's a lot.

In reply to Sarah Laurence.

Hey thanks Sarah, I think my father is liking the post-work world after turning 80. And yeah I like to do the preview posts — even though I have trouble reading all the new books quickly enough — because it sort of organizes my mind on what’s coming out each month so at least I’m familiar with them and put them on my TBR list. Some of these might be too dark for me as well. Enjoy your week.

I appreciate these preview posts since I’m not keeping track of adult fiction anymore. Wolf Road and You Know Me Well have both been getting a lot of buzz but might be too dark for me.

Congrats to your dad!

In reply to Laurel-Rain Snow. Thanks Laurel, I think you might like Eligible; I have laughed about it a few times aloud, LOL. It's not overly serious like some of Sittenfeld's other novels. Yeah I'm hoping we will continue to like Bloodline but if the characters get too much who knows? Luckily we take breaks. Enjoy your week too.

I enjoyed The Girls…and I am curious about Eligible. I have enjoyed the author’s other books, some more than others.

Your photo of the “road” looks familiar to me…LOL.

Enjoy your week, and thanks for visiting my blogs. I hope you continue to like Bloodline.

In reply to Naomi. Hi Naomi, I agree the Eggers' book sounds promising. I'm not too sure what to think of Underground Airlines either but it certainly seems to raise issues surrounding race and America in a provocative way.

“… a mother and her two young children on a journey through an Alaskan wilderness…” grabs my attention. I’ve not read any of his other books, but this one sounds good…
Here Comes the Sun also sounds good. And I’m not sure what to think about Underground Airlines – what an awful idea.
