Quick Lit: June 2015
by Stacey
This is the first time ever that I will be listing only one completely read book for my Quick Lit post this month. It has been so incredibly busy in my world and apparently my reading is a great example of this. I have started and stopped quite a few books but my attention wavers so quickly that I move on before I have finished.
I began Stephen King’s 11/22/63, Mary Norris’ Between You and Me: Confessions of a Comma Queen and Heather Cock’s and Jessica Morgan’s The Royal We. These all seem to be good books that I will get back to as soon as I can focus.
But for now, my one book of the month is:
The Crossover by Kwame Alexander. Crossover is this year’s Newbery winer and I now know it is well deserved. Crossover is a free verse story of two basketball loving brothers. I am always amazed when an entire story is told in poetry. The depth of character development is really incredible. These are boys that I will remember for a long time.
Thanks for the recommendation! I’m going to put that one on hold. I hope you enjoy 11/22/63; it’s one of my favorites!
Thanks for stopping by Dawn!
I have 11/22/63 waiting on me to read, but it’s SO long that I keep putting it off because I think “I can either read one really long novel or a ton of shorter ones.” The greedy number reader in me wants to read more!
Maybe I’ll pick up the Stephen King novel after I reach my goal for the year! Haha
I agree Sarah! 11/22/63 actually seemed really great but I got totally intimidated by it’s length!
That is impressive. I will have to keep an eye out for it. Hope you have time for your other current picks soon! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for stopping by Anne!
Ah, we all have those months! Hopefully the summer settles down for you.
Good to hear from you! Hope all is well!
Stacey, I just finished The Royal We (audio – road trip), and I loved it. SO much fun!
Can’t wait to read it!
