After you finish reading a book, do you ever have the sense of feeling eager to know what is next?
After reading a novel, I feel like I just came out of a dark movie theater into daylight. Open to new ideas. From the narrative, images created in my imagination play as my brain voice with closed captions without the sound on.
This summer’s reading list for me, will a variety of genres, a biography, and one re-read title, as opposed to all mysteries.
Any recommendations for a biography is appreciated. Thank you

I had to start over editing.
All the work put into editing this post disappeared. The page is not in browser history.
Blogspot typing page is full of glitches. Add italics or underline is a major hassle. The cursor returns to the top of the page instead of where in the text you are typing. Huge glitch.
Add Normal for the paragraphs is also a major hassle.
Add photos places them on the top of the page instead of where you place the cursor. You have to cut and paste photos when typing and then adding pictures.

I finish a book, run to the pile and get another. This is my bios-read in 2025 list. Links to my reviews of all of these are on my January 14, 2025 post, easy to find through the archive list on the right rail of the blog.

Jeanie,
ReplyDeleteNice list. Keaton’s book is a must. She was a fascinating actor. Thank you

A book I would recommend, particularly now, is 'To Obama: With Love, Anger and Hope' by Jeanne Marie Laskas. I read it several years ago and it has stuck with me.
