Time for some book window shopping (mostly me, but a few for Sawyer)! I've done pretty well the last two months not buying many books (less than five for myself and Sawyer combined), but we all know that the most common side effect of refraining is wanting. So, here are some contenders, including upcoming releases:
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng- I loved her first book and have been eagerly awaiting her follow-up efforts!
Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan- Another fall-release that I have high hopes for.
The Hidden Life of Trees: What they Feel, How They Communicate- Discoveries from a Secret World by Peter Wohlleben- I love trees so very much, so I am intrigued by this one.
The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Samuel Tinti- Father-daughter relationship with a dark secret.
The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone by Olivia Laing- A nonfiction account of a woman who spends a lot of time being by herself.
Chemistry be Weike Wang- All the cool kids are doing it.
The Futilitarians: Our Year of Thinking, Drinking, Grieving, and Reading by Anne Gisleson- A memoir of sorts about how a woman got through some extremely hard life moments with reading (and stuff).
For Sawyer (age 3):
We're All Wonders by RJ Palacio- The illustrated version of the book that teaches kids empathy.
The Moose Belongs to Me by Oliver Jeffers- I'm slowly getting all of his books, and this one is set in the mountains. Sold.
Dragons Love Tacos 2 by Adam Rubin- We love the first one.
What's on your list?

We've only read 2 Oliver Jeffers books and liked but didn't love them. Do you and Sawyer have any favorites?
ReplyDeleteAlso, we borrowed We're All Wonders from the library and it's very good! I want to read the original novel at some point.
