Feel Good Books for Summer Reading.
Directly from AbeBooks Newsletter here are the summer feel good selections:
I rarely, if ever, read a book for enlightenment to forget the cares of the day and wile away my time on pure feel-good or fantasy. Coming back into the real world after one of those reads must be a bit of a downer, well, it would for me. I'm strictly into crime, true or otherwise, historical novels,true or otherwise, and for more relaxation than I can hardly stand anything my neighbor lends me.
Life is just way too short to get bogged down in heavy stuff this summer. I have a room that is filled with just my how-to books.....I think I purchased them before the internet. I know now that I just need to pose a question and I am on my way to rewiring a lamp or how to speedify getting wallpaper down. They do come in handy once in a while.
I also collected cook books for a very long while. Unfortunately none of them deal strictly with frugal meals, and that is what I am into right at this moment. "How many ways to charm your guests with renditions of beans and rice". Its a good thing I am not asked to entertain any longer, it would put me beside myself.
I'm going to give a selection of these a try....it can't hurt. Here is a thought .... why did I wrongly think that the population here is not interested in reading? When I go to the library it is full of people, young and old. The books that I take home are filled with previous due dates. I think I should hang out there and meet some of these readers. And perhaps invite them over for'beans and rice'.
Until next time....be safe. rd
