LWD Book Club ~ July 2017

July 1, 2017 By Deanna Piercy 5 Comments

I am really excited about this month’s LWD Book Club because our theme for the month is travel. We are going to have both a Francophile Week and an Anglophile Week, plus some general travel-related posts. Even though I won’t be visiting France or England this month (unless I win the lottery in which case plane tickets will likely be my first purchase), I can still take a little vacation within the pages of a book. I hope you’ll join me.

LWD JULY BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS

 

London: The Novel by Edward Rutherford

I’ve had this one on my bookshelf for several years now. I believe I bought it at a library book sale, or perhaps a used book store. At 800+ pages, this is one I’ve been putting off…simply because of the length. But summer is the perfect time to really dig into something lengthy.

London

 

Edward Rutherfurd’s classic novel of London – a glorious pageant spanning two thousand years. He brings this vibrant city’s long and noble history alive through the ever-shifting fortunes, fates, and intrigues of half-a-dozen families, from the age of Julius Caesar to the twentieth century. Generation after generation, these families embody the passion, struggle, wealth, and verve of the greatest city in the world.

 

Three Weeks in Paris by Barbara Taylor Bradford

I purchased this a few months ago at the library book sale. Summer is always a good time for some “light” reading. I think this will be a fun way to spend a few lazy afternoons. Besides, I’m a sucker for anything set in Paris.

Three Weeks in Paris

 

The most romantic city in the world sets the stage for Barbara Taylor Bradford’s dazzling new novel, a spellbinding story of four remarkable women–each at a turning point in her life, each about to be changed forever by.…

Hawaii by James A. Michener

My grandparents loved Hawaii and spent a lot of time there. They even owned a bit of property on one of the islands. My grandmother learned the hula and did quite a bit of dancing over there and I recall all her beautiful costumes hanging in their spare bedroom when I was a child. My grandfather was a Michener fan and for that reason I have picked up several of his books over the years. I’ve never read “Hawaii” but I’m looking forward to it.

    Next time you are visiting London for real let me know. I’m literally a couple of hours from Lonon(the train station is about half a dozen blocks from my building, and the train to London takes about an hour and a half… In other words, unless I time trains very badly, I can be in London within two hours of walking out of my door).

    Anyway, interesting selection of books. I hope you manage to at least read the shorter ones and start the longer one this month, and that you enjoy them.

    My post full of book reviews for last month went up on my blog this morning.

      That would be so fun to meet up “in real life”!

      I’ll check out your reviews soon.

        Yes, it would. So, like I said, let me know if you come over this way for a visit again. 🙂

    Hi, I am wondering if you had selections in mind for August 2017?

      Not yet. The theme of the month of August is: Back to School, New Routines, Planners. At least one of the books will reflect that theme. I plan to continue releasing the list on the first of each month but if you’d really like it early, send me an email and I’ll see what I can do. 😉
