SUMMER READING LIST!

19th August 2015 By Rebecca Mascull

Howdy folks & welcome to my summer book list. I’ve had some time off and done a shed load of reading, so here’s my list of all the books I’ve read in the last couple of months. I enjoyed them all, so I recommend them all to you – obviously, I loved some more than others, but as this business of reading is so completely subjective, I won’t try to sway you one way or another on any of them, because you’ll make up your own mind anyway.

Here we go:

ONE LIFE – Kate Grenville

THE GHOST OF THE MARY CELESTE – Valerie Martin

THE DEVIL IN THE MARSHALSEA &

THE LAST CONFESSION OF THOMAS HAWKINS  – Antonia Hodgson

THE SHOUTING IN THE DARK – Elleke Boehmer

ACTS OF OMISSION – Terry Stiastny

CHANGING PLACES – David Lodge

AMITY AND SORROW – Peggy Riley

WE ARE ALL COMPLETELY BESIDE OURSELVES &

THE SWEETHEART SEASON – Karen Joy Fowler

LIFE AFTER LIFE &

A GOD IN RUINS – Kate Atkinson

SHOELESS JOE – W. P. Kinsella

REBECCA’S TALE – Sally Beauman

MY BRILLIANT FRIEND – Elena Ferrante

WHEN WE WERE SISTERS &

THE GOOD NEIGHBOUR – Beth Miller

ETHAN FROME – Edith Wharton

Phew! So that’s what I read. Have you read any of these? If so, let me know on Twitter & we can chat about it! There are a couple of themes there: baseball, strangely (I love baseball stories and baseball movies – try The Natural, Field of Dreams & Moneyball for movies, and try Ring Lardner baseball stories); historical fiction (say no more – it’s what I write & what I love to read) & The Prime Writers – there’s quite a few of us on this list – Peggy Riley, Terry Stiastny & Beth Miller. I’ve also got a few Prime Writer novels coming up next on my TBR. So here’s what I’ll be reading next:

THE SUMMER OF SECRETS – Sarah Jasmon

RIDLEY ROAD – Jo Bloom

BURNT RIVER – Karin Salvalaggio

THE SISTERS – Claire Douglas

DEVASTATION ROAD – Jason Hewitt

Another theme here is interviews – I have quite a few of these authors coming on the blog in the next few months: next up is Elleke Boehmer, then Kate Grenville & Valerie Martin, Beth Miller & Terry Stiastny with many more to follow.

Happy summer reading everyone!

And may I just say that I have a little book out at the moment called SONG OF THE SEA MAID – with its Portuguese and Mediterranean settings, it may well make a suitable summer read… 😉
