Summer to do list

 As the summer approaches I have a school to-do list and a relaxing-summer to-do list On my relaxing list read more and pool time (of course).  So I thought I would share some of my favorite books I have read lately.  

One of us is Dead by Jeneva Rose

Easily one of the best books I have read in a while. I love when I am so drawn in that I am talking to the book!  It's hard to pick a favorite from my list, but it's hard to beat One of Us is Dead.

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

I was concerned when I started this book, it seemed like it was going to be a romance-type novel, and I prefer a murder-type novel.  But Oh My Gosh!  This book is written half in science and half in fight the patriarchy!  The main character Elizabet Zott is my new hero.

Don't Ever Tell by Lucy Dawson

Lucy Dawson, you kept me guessing.  Don't Ever Tell is about cheating and secrets ... 

The Last Affair by Margot Hunt

The Last Affair was another book I was yelling at the book at parts.  Cheating, secrets, murder ... there seems to be a theme to part of this list.

The Perfect Marriage by Jeneva Rose

This book kicked off my latest book craze and I then read everything I could by Jeneva.  I found Jeneva on TikTok and I love her sense of humor.  The Perfect Marriage has the twists and turns that I need in a book.  

My Husband's Wife by Jane Corry

My husband's wife is centered around a lawyer, her artist husband and a little girl down the hall.  This has all kinds of complex relationships, lies, and of course, a murder.

Disclaimer: I listen to these books, becuase I don't feel like I have time to read.  But I can listen in my car as I drive to school and back.  I listen while I grocery shop, and do dishes, and even when I embroider.  My Husband checked out my audible book list and called to tell me that he wasn't having an affair.  I said "what? It's just a lot of books where a spouse cheats and then gets murdered."  He replied with, "And that is why I am calling to tell you I am not having an affair!  (insert laughter, we thought we were funny)

On my school to-do list I have to prep for a new AP class, plus attend an AP Summer Institute, edit the plan for all my existing classes, and help a co-worker plan a new class.
