Friday Finds: The Pull of the Moon

Friday Finds is hosted by Should Be Reading. Here’s my one find:

The Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg

Here’s the blurb from Barnes and Noble:

Uncomfortable with the fit of her life, now that she’s in the middle of it, Nan gets into her car and just goes—driving across the country on back roads, following the moon; and stopping to talk to people. Through conversations with women, men, with her husband through letters, and with herself through her diary, Nan confronts topics long overdue for her attention. She writes to her husband and says things she’s never admitted before; and she discovers how the fabric of her life can be reshaped into a more authentic creation.

Look everyone!! It’s not a dark and depressing cover! I’ve broken a four month cycle of darkness. Okay, well…she does run away from home and I’ve been reading a lot of those books lately too (4 in the past 4 months) but I’m not sure what that means.

I saw this one on NPR and it’s actually been out for a really long time but I’ve never read a Berg novel. I really enjoy stories about self-discovery. Has anyone read it?

It’s Time For Summer!

I love lists!! I especially love summer reading lists. During the summer months I work the same amount of hours that I normally do but for some reason, maybe the fact that the days are longer, I feel as if I have more time to read.

This year I will be spending a lot of time by the pool because I signed my daughter up for eight weeks of swim lessons. That means that I will have an extra thirty minutes of reading time each day. That’s heaven to me!

There are a lot of lists coming out right now but the list that I always keep an eye out for is NPR’s. Well, NPR actually comes out with several lists for summer so if you want to check them out, click here.

This summer I hope to pick up and finish the rest of the Harry Potter series. I stopped at book four (when I had kid #2) and never picked them up again. I got completely sidetracked by sleepless nights.

What one book are you looking forward to this summer?
