Morning Meanderings… Fall Reading (right around the corner!):
Good morning! 
I hate to even mention Fall (I think last year in a post I referred to it as the “F” word 
) but even I have to admit there is one good thing about fall….
life slows down a bit.
Spring is the fresh air, open the windows season and wait impatiently for the signs of summer…. my absolute FAVORITE time of year…. sunny days, bike rides, grilling, camp fires, beaches… by early September I am happy, and usually exhausted.
As fall enters and the nights become chilly… I turn back to the books. I love to curl up in a blanket with a hot cup of tea and a good read. Speaking of good reads… here are a few coming this fall that I have caught my attention:
THE DOVEKEEPERS
By Alice Hoffman
There’s no magic here; in The Dovekeepers, Hoffman takes readers to the year 70 CE to dramatize a historical event: the storming of the fortress of Masada where 900 Jews took a stand against the Romans. She tells the story from the perspectives of three very different women. We’re thinking that this may be the novel that fans of The Red Tent have been waiting for.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
This imaginative debut, set in a magical circus, follows two rival magicians who select champions to represent them in a deadly competition.
The Taker by Alma Katsu
On the midnight shift at a hospital in rural Maine, Dr. Luke Findley is expecting another quiet evening of frostbite and the occasional domestic dispute. But the minute Lanore McIlvrae—Lanny—walks into his ER, she changes his life forever. A mysterious woman with a past and plenty of dark secrets, Lanny is unlike anyone Luke has ever met. He is inexplicably drawn to her . . . despite the fact that she is a murder suspect with a police escort. And as she begins to tell her story, a story of enduring love and consummate betrayal that transcends time and mortality, Luke finds himself utterly captivated.
That’s just a sample…. there are more, but falls not here yet. Any fall releases you are excited about?
Personal note – tonight 6 of my friends are going to The Help with me. Yes I went last week… but this movie is really REALLY good.
