 This morning, I heard this report on NPR from Nancy Pearl, a librarian on great books for summer reading.  Pearl says "I look for a book (fiction or nonfiction) with a strong narrative voice, wonderfully drawn characters and writing that makes me stop and savor the words the author has written" .  So I have subscribed to this NPR feed.  You can find the list at http://www.npr.org/2011/06/23/137084790/nancy-pearl-presents-10-terrific-summer-reads?ft=1&f=136825076

So what would I want to put on a blog?  What I am currently reading, of course! I am in 2 book clubs and work with reading groups at school.  I am constantly reading....lots and lots of books....but when asked "what have you read that is good lately", I sometimes am unable to come up with a winner.  So here is my answer to that question.  I will keep a running list of what I read, including what I read for my book clubs and just for fun.  I will highlight the really good ones, so I will have the answer to the question of "what have you read lately that is good?"
