Read With Us: The Summer Selection Announcement

June 3, 2020 By Carole

That blog post I wrote yesterday? The one about how the days get away from me and I don’t find the time to sit down and write here? It was very honest and I’m glad I got it done. I just wish I had saved it for today because yesterday I was supposed to announce the title of the summer selection for Read With Us.

Whoops.

So, I’m a day late and Bonny and Kym have both already done a great job promoting the book, but I’m going to do my part anyway, even if it is anticlimactic.

We are reading Wild Game by Adrienne Brodeur

It’s a memoir about the author’s mother’s affair with her stepfather’s best friend. I read it in early May and it’s full of drama and angst, complicated relationships, vivid descriptions of food, and lovely portrayals of Cape Cod. I enjoyed it greatly, partly because I saw a lot of my mother in Malabar, partly because the setting is so familiar to me, and partly because it’s light and entertaining. I thought that made it a perfect book for us to read together and I’m glad Kym and Bonny agreed. I hope you will, too.

You’ve got June and July to read it, which should give you plenty of time, and we’ll be holding our discussion in August. I think once you start this one you’ll have a hard time putting it down! Hopefully you can find a copy at your public library as many are offering curbside pick up now as well as digital versions through Libby or other resources.

I may be late to the party but since the party hasn’t really started yet I think it’s just fine.

    Is it even a party if you haven’t arrived yet?! It is fine and a compelling book also.

    Looks like a good summer book choice! And with two months to finish I should be good.

    I signed up for Overdrive last night and put it on hold. Not sure why I never signed up before, it was much easier than I was imaging for some reason. Should be available early July I think.

    I ordered it on Wednesday, it arrived yesterday, I started reading it last night, and… let’s just say that if I didn’t have to work, I’d be finishing this book right about now. It’s a page-turner, all right!

    I may be able to join in on this one.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
