  1. Wow - a great reading month ahead for you, Judy. Three of these are already on my TBR list, and I'd love to read all five of them!

  3. I have not read the Westover book but it sounds like a very strong cup of coffee ... so to speak. The children in the junkyard scenes with the rusty nails and all and the no medicine etc. have made me a bit chicken to go there. But I probably will eventually. hmm.

    1. Well, it is not my favorite Steinbeck but I will reread it because except for maybe The Pearl, any Steinbeck is great reading.

  5. Nice variety here for sure and plenty to discuss with Educated and Daisy Jones.

  6. Great line-up for June! I remember loving The Winter of Our Discontent in my late teens/early twenties, but am sure there was much more to it than I was able to grasp at the time. Steinbeck has long been one of my favorites.

    I listened to Educated last year... a tough read. The audio had me literally cringing at times.

    My book group discussed Where the Crawdads Sing yesterday and selected Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger (any relation?) for July. I've been wanting to read that one for a while.

    1. I am enjoying The Winter of Our Discontent as I reread it now and finding more in it than I did the first time. You are the second one to warn me about Educated. I am not related to William Kent Krueger but I want to read him as well. I am about to read Crawdads, having heard from many of my friends how good it is.
