Discussion: What was the best book you read in July?
Plus the Anderberg family's favorites
Hey there, readers!
Once again, it’s time to chat about our favorite reads of the previous month. Here’s what our family most enjoyed in July:
JEREMY: I’m a Hemingway fan forever and always, and A Moveable Feast was one of my new favorites of his. On the fiction side, Tim O’Brien’s In the Lake of the Woods really stood out. It’s a slow-building psychological thriller with an incredibly well-done moody setting — not very well known but a great book.
JANE: My wife really enjoyed Annie Hartnett’s The Road to Tender Hearts. A inter-generational cross-country road trip is right up her alley, and it was oozing heartwarming vibes.
GRAHAM (10 years old): Graham wrapped up the Hunger Games trilogy in July and thought Catching Fire was the best of the bunch. He’s now onto the two prequels. We’ll report back.
WILLA (7 years old): Middle kiddo is blasting through graphic novels just like her brother was at this age. Dog Man is a new discovery for her, with Twenty Thousand Fleas Under the Sea being the favorite.
BO (4 years old): We’re back onto a Pete the Cat kick with the littlest one. Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons is a big hit and not too annoying to read. Thank goodness.
Your turn! What was your favorite July read?
