Have you ever distracted yourself while you were reading a perfectly wonderful book to pick up yet another perfectly wondrous book and start reading it too?
Whew!!!
I never do this! I am a one book at a time kind of reader. But now I started reading this one.
It’s sad and sweet. a family tragedy. A ton of dysfunction. Marriages on edge. Overwhelming sorrow.
Yum!
So I find myself reading the above book while I am reading this book. And it’s odd because I only really really really like reading one book at a time. Ever.
What have I learned from this one? If you want to live to be 114 or more…drink a cup of hot water with a squeeze of lemon and a drop of olive oil in it every day!
This book is a saga of a family of women who live on an olive grove. So good!
New books this week are lovely ones…from Mary E. Stone…and Shelf Awareness.
I will give you very brief summaries.
Gardening with a serious twist and a surprise visitor…
Corruption, dysfunction and reclaiming a son?
Stories about the mythology of the American West?
And from Edelweiss…my new NetGalley rival…
A magical city, a rebellion and love?
Twins, inventing and fun?
Wife catching and witches?
Four women facing their past?
I really have no clue what to read next…
But this one is tempting me…and about to expire on NetGalley. I love this author’s work.
Which lovely book would you choose?
Books, Thoughts and Adventures 
Yes, unfortunately this happens to me quite often!!

I usually like to read one book at a time- but once in a while I am captivated by too many books at once. I am actually reading three books right now. Maybe it is summertime… You sure managed to find great books!
