Happy Monday Darlings!
Still in Arizona thoroughly enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. Apparently it’s been in the 20’s in Georgia this past week while here in Phoenix, its blue skies and 72 degrees. Going home will be difficult! Although I am missing those North Georgia mountains, not to mention my babies! When I face-timed with the Little Monkey, my 3-year-old grandson, he sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for me and melted my heart.
So, it’s another Monday, and I’m wondering what YOU are reading? Sheila from Book Journey helps us to fill up our ‘to be read’ shelves with Monday’s meme.
This is my first Jane Smiley novel, and I’m excited to dig into the epic family trilogy. The second book, Early Warning, comes out in April. Have you read any of Smiley’s novels?
On their farm in Denby, Iowa, Rosanna and Walter Langdon abide by time-honored values that they pass on to their five wildly different yet equally remarkable children: Frank, the brilliant, stubborn first-born; Joe, whose love of animals makes him the natural heir to his family’s land; Lillian, an angelic child who enters a fairy-tale marriage with a man only she will fully know; Henry, the bookworm who’s not afraid to be different; and Claire, who earns the highest place in her father’s heart. Moving from post-World War I America through the early 1950s, Some Luck gives us an intimate look at this family’s triumphs and tragedies, zooming in on the realities of farm life, while casting-as the children grow up and scatter to New York, California, and everywhere in between-a panoramic eye on the monumental changes that marked the first half of the twentieth century.
How was your weekend Lovelies? Any fantastic books on your nightstand?
