Wow—how cool to uncover the inspirations behind Sue Monk Kidd’s writing, especially for some of my favorite books. As a reader, I loved learning how she shaped the moments, characters, and themes I’ve cherished. As a writer, I appreciated her insights and creative process.

Not your typical heartwrenching WW2 book. “The Martha’s Vineyard Beach and Book Club” by Martha Hall Kelly focuses more on relationships between sisters & friends and their efforts to get books into the hands of the troops. Even with the backdrop of war, this a great summer read!

I picked up “The House on Biscayne Bay” by Chanel Cleeton to read a historical fiction set in Miami in the 1920’s and was pleasantly surprised that it read more like a murder-mystery. It kept me guessing until the end. I recommend if you like a combo of those genres. #BookSky💙📚⏳

Before visiting France, I read The Paris Wife by Paula McLain, which explores Ernest Hemingway’s life in Paris. Now, traveling to Key West, I turned to Hemingway’s Girl by Erika Robuck, about his time there. I highly recommend both to fans of HF, Hemingway, or Paris or Key West tourists

I read “The Old Man and the Sea” by Ernest Hemingway to enhance an upcoming visit to Hemingway’s home. It’s about an old fisherman who embarks on a fishing journey to catch a giant marlin. Beautifully written and a great story of perseverance and humans’ relationship with nature.
