A few summer reading recommendations!

• THE MUSIC OF BEES by Eileen Garvin

  This is one of our favorite paperback summer reads this year. Three people in a small Oregon town have all undergone great personal tragedies when they come together in a book that highlights the power of friendship and the experience of beekeeping.

I couldn't resist that title. Writing it in capital letters returns me to the days of my youth and writing those ever so hated book reports, where I felt like a fool in my inability to discuss what I like or dislike. I'm a better writer now, of course. At least I think I am!

In truth I was a blogger for many years before moving to other forms of social media, but I've always liked being able to say, edit, what I've written and am happy to return to blogging for the love of books.
