And the randomly selected winner is Happy All the Time
by Laurie Colwin, as suggested by Old school librarian.
I have never heard of this book or this author before and that's always an enticing prospect. Who knows what one will find between the covers? It looks like my local library does have a copy in so I will be stopping in quite soon to get started on July's book.
Here is the full list of suggestions:
• Wise Child
by Monica Furlong (ladyjoust)
• The Historian
by Elizabeth Kostova (lasrisas)
• Galax-Arena
by Gillian Rubinstein (Katy)
• Sir Apropos of Nothing
by Peter David (literarymiss)
• Except the Queen
by Jane Yolen and Midori Snyder (Christine)
Of these, I have already read:
• Wise Child
by Monica Furlong (ladyjoust)
• The Historian
by Elizabeth Kostova (lasrisas)
Thanks everyone!
I've been meaning to read something by Laurie Colwin for several years because I've heard wonderful things about her by other authors. I hope you enjoy Happy All the Time!

Karen, yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like. Glad you've heard wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in my 20s, I loved, loved, loved this book. There are a couple of other Laurie Colwin books that I also loved. I wonder how it will read today.
