June Was…

June was a night of Sean Rowe music with some great women. June was one hell of a trip. June was the kick in the pants I needed. June was the “get off the pot” month. For BookLust Challenge it was:

• Ninety-Two in the Shade by Thomas McGuane (fishing month)
• An Academic Question by Barbara Pym (Ms. Pym’s birthday)
• Act of the Damned by Antonio Lobo Antunes (family month)
• The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler (best month to get married)
• The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffennegger (Ms. Niffennegger’s birth month)
• The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (Father’s Day)
• The American Ambassador by Ward Just (Anti-Father’s Day)

One review for LibraryThing:

• Tomato Girl by Jayne Pupek (one word: tragic, tragic, tragic!)

Both Ninety-two in the Shade and Tomato Girl  were described as “gritty” and yes, were both gritty, but in two very different ways. I have to say The Kite Runner was my favorite June book.
