Hi Catherine, summer seems a glorious time for reading (even Seattle sees sun, am I right?) though I have fallen behind with other things going on. I agree with you — I think I need to read The God of Small Things again. It seems so long ago and I can’t really remember it either. That might be better than picking up her new one, which I’ve heard is not an easy read. Good luck with all your reading!

I almost feel like I should read Roy’s Small Things again before reading this new one. I have completely forgotten what it was about.

For whatever reason I used to think that summer was a slow time for releases, but I have a silly amount of June/July new books to read. And I’m feeling too lazy to write reviews!

Hi Naomi, yeah a lot of interest in The Weight of Ink … many like the historical search kinds of stories and this one looks good. Enjoy your week!

Hi Sarah, yeah it’s nice to see both Wonder Woman back and Roy. I’d like to reread her first one too. It’s been a long time. I have not read Jesmyn Ward either so I’m curious. I hope you are doing well. I’ll stop by soon.

Thanks Susie, yeah a lot of people are talking about reading the Umrigar book. I hope it’s good. Enjoy!

Thanks Kate, yeah I’ll look for your thoughts on the Karen Dionne book before I pick it up. There’s quite a bit to get to this summer. I’m behind as usual. Enjoy!

Hi — did you ever get home from overseas? Summer is on a roll for sure. Actually these are just book releases for June but I’m still making my summer reading list which I hope to post later in the week. The Marsh King book looks spooky. hmm
