Steaming summer book recs 😎🍉⛱️

[@JohnSeney]

Well when it comes to Yoko Ogawa her "The Memory Police" features a winter that for some reason does not end and just keeps going year round 😸😆 so she may not be the best summer author. This one must be her much-awaited new book they said was coming out in August. Same as you I aim to reserve it at the library 👍 I couldn't stand Ali Smith's "Spring" (which seemed to have little to do with spring) and I don't think her "Summer" will heat things up for me 😆😸

lol yeah if you didn’t like Spring (probably my least favorite in the quartet) then Summer won’t tickle your fancy 😂 Smith is hit-or-miss for me; I absolutely loathed The Accidental!

Hot here in Chicago too. I’m on the waitlist for a number of things at my library, but I’m afraid that when it’s my turn I won’t be able to fit the book (whichever it is) in, because I’ve fallen behind in other reading. Man, absolutely everybody seems to be talking about _The God of the Woods._ I hope your turn comes up soon.

That’s actually exactly what ended up happening to me lol-4 books I was on a waitlist for suddenly became available all on the same day so now the books I was going to start reading will have to get pushed…at least one of the books I picked up was State of Paradise!! (No God of the Woods quite yet…)
