(All the books on my list.)<\/p><\/div>\n

Since I started using the Kindle app on my phone, I’ve been making my way through quite a few books lately. I’m always on the hunt for good recommendations, so feel free to send them to me.<\/p>\n

Right now, I’m in the middle of The Book of Dahlia<\/em> by Elisa Albert<\/a>, who also wrote After Birth<\/em>, which I reviewed<\/a> recently. The Book of Dahlia<\/em> is hilarious so far and often makes me laugh out loud, despite the fact that the main character has a brain tumor. No spoilers here; that’s the premise of the novel. I’ve quickly become a fan of Albert’s honest and modern writing style, and her female characters are very realistic.<\/p>\n

My mom recently told me about Women Are Scary: The Totally Awkward Adventure of Finding Mom Friends <\/em>by Melanie Dale<\/a>. It sounds interesting in theory and sort of follows the “damaged women” theme I’ve got going here, so I added it and will give it a try soon.<\/p>\n

Allie<\/a> recently wrote a great review of All the Light We Cannot See<\/em> by Anthony Doerr<\/a>, and since I’m a huge World War II fiction buff, this book is on my list, too. That post reminded me of my love for The Cazalet Chronicles<\/em> by Elizabeth Jane Howard<\/a>, a series I’ve read and re-read over and over again for years. I really need to write a blog post about my love for the Cazalet family one of these days. Howard passed away last year, but not before writing a fifth novel<\/a> in the series, which I recently discovered. And the BBC produced a radio play version<\/a> of the entire series, which I plan to listen to while I go about my chores at home. It will be so much fun to immerse myself in that wonderful family again after all these years.<\/p>\n

What are you reading right now?<\/p>\n
