Lost and Found is going to be picked up at the Ft Lauderdale library in the next few days and this reader cannot wait! Thank you both for compiling such a thoughtful, and diverse, reading list

So grateful for your comment and so glad you found a book from the list to try out. I am gifting "Lost and Found" for a family member's birthday because of Anita's recommendation!

LOVE this! Everyone is talking about Funny Story...I've added it to my list! I love that you said Nora Ephron would approve! Speaking of Nora, I recently read "I'll Have What She's Having: How Nora Ephron's Three Iconic Films Saved the Romantic Comedy," and it's such a treat to hear fun BTS stories about When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle, and You've Got Mail!

Amy, I love this recommendation and quote "You've Got Mail" more often than is normal. I am going to check this book out! Thank you!

Excited for new summer reads! My favorite book as of late: The Many Lives of Mama Love by Lara Love Hardin — a truly incredible memoir that is both powerful and empowering. If you can, get the audiobook, the author reads it herself. Just wow.

I still haven’t gotten over Hello Beautiful (suggested by the wonderful Molly). I love stories of sisters and as a bonus, it’s set in Chicago. ♥️

This is excellent! Thank you so much for sharing. I have read a few of these and am thrilled we have similar tastes. I will definitely work my way through this fine list! One of my favorite books of the past year has been Barbara Kingsolver's, Demon Copperhead, which a dear friend gave to me for my birthday. I could not put it down. I can't wait to read the next newsletter!

My sister loves Kingsolver and I know several people that loved Demon Copperhead.

I LOVED Demon Copperhead too. Have you read The Bee Sting by Paul Murray? So good. Long but worth it. Family saga. I bet it would be a great audio book with the Irish accents.

I read Tom Lake and loved it, and now I am thinking I’ll listen to it too. Love me some Meryl Streep! Anyone have other good audio book recs for the summer?
