Favorite Books from May and June

Happy first day of summer! It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted here and I’m so sorry about that. I’d planned to post May books at the end of last month, but then my mother suddenly got sick and ended up in the hospital. My siblings and I flew in and were with her for a few days before she peacefully passed away. I had just been to see her two weeks before she died and though her dementia was progressing to a concerning point, we went out and did things, visited with relatives, etc. So, it was a shock to lose her from what was really a minor infection. We’re doing a celebration of life for her in July.

On a happier note, I decided to retire a little earlier than I had originally planned, so as this posts I am done! I made the decision so late in the year that it still doesn’t feel real, but I know it will come fall when I don’t head back to the classroom. I’m very excited and looking forward to the freedom, the ability to spend more time with my family, and to be able to travel in seasons other than summer.

And finally, I’ve been having my kitchen and bathroom remodeled over the last few months, so life has been insane!

Despite all that, I have still been getting some reading done, so I have eight favorite books to share today. The best part is I enjoyed them all very much! (For more timely reviews of all the books I’ve read, you can follow me on Instagram @novelvisits.)…

Novel Visits ~ Spring Preview 2021

Can it really be Spring Preview 2021 time already? Why yes, it can! Despite the fact that we’ve been living an alternate reality for more than a year now, time marches on. With that time, there is finally much to be hopeful for on the horizon. Many people have already received at least one dose of the COVID vaccine and many more will get theirs in the near future. Who knows, there may come a day when we miss the forced calm and boredom of lockdown. If nothing else, it gave everyone an opportunity to spend time doing things out of their normal wheelhouse and that’s a good thing. It also has given a lot of us time to read more books and that’s a trend I hope to see continue. When looking ahead to the next couple months, I see many amazing books lining up to be published and am happy be sharing the sixteen I’m most excited about here today….
