I am grateful for my September Reading list.

 Hi! Happy September.

It is that time again, reading list time.

My September book is 

The Paper Palace

by Miranda Cowley Heller

I loved this book. It was a rather fast read, a story about family and  the ups and downs that go with being part of a dynamic group.

This is what Amazon had to say about the book:

It is a perfect August morning, and Elle, a fifty-year-old happily married mother of three, awakens at “The Paper Palace”—the family summer place which she has visited every summer of her life. But this morning is different: last night Elle and her oldest friend Jonas crept out the back door into the darkness and had sex with each other for the first time, all while their spouses chatted away inside. Now, over the next twenty-four hours, Elle will have to decide between the life she has made with her genuinely beloved husband, Peter, and the life she always imagined she would have had with her childhood love, Jonas, if a tragic event hadn’t forever changed the course of their lives. As Heller colors in the experiences that have led Elle to this day, we arrive at her ultimate decision with all its complexity. Tender yet devastating, The Paper Palace considers the tensions between desire and dignity, the legacies of abuse, and the crimes and misdemeanors of families.

 I usually read the book along with you. This month I picked it up while my daughter was in the hospital, finished it quickly, then left the book at the hospital for someone to adopt. 

I cannot decide if I liked this book for its own merit, or because it was a stunning escape into a place far away from my problems.

If you have any book recommendations, please share.

 I adore titles.

Have a great day.

Love you beyond the moon.
