1. I‘d like to get to Sardinia or Sicily or both to eat all of the local fare.
2. I would take low brain space investment beach reads so I could focus on relaxing. 🏝

pickReally fun, easy summer read. Amazing how much reading I get done when I don‘t have to teach 😜😎💁♀️
pickTwo Truths: Sherri Griffin and her daughter Katie are new to a beach town in Massachusetts. YouTuber Alexa starts babysitting Katie, even though she is eleven.
One Lie: While SG really is Sherri Griffin‘s initials, Sherri Griffin is NOT her name.
Loved the Mom Squad who will definitely remind you of the characters in Big Little Lies. Overall this book was just a FUN listen and I really enjoyed learning about each of the people in this beach town
so-soI‘ve been doing better at reading lately but dropping the ball on reviews. This was good for what it was, a story of people bringing all their baggage and secrets to Block Island for the summer. I enjoyed getting to know the island which is a character itself and seeing how everyone reacted when the secrets bubbled to the surface. Points off for a sudden storm as a lazy way to drive the story to its climax, but a good summer read nonetheless.
Trying to read a summery book during the summer, like people do. I‘ve always been more of a “read a deep, dark gigantic tome” kind of summer reader, but there‘s a first time for everything, right? 🤔
pickA character driven novel about three people on Block Island one summer, this is a satisfying and enjoyable summer read for sure. Full review at https://booknaround.blogspot.com/2019/06/review-islanders-by-meg-mitchell-moore....
so-soHere's your Labor Day weekend last days of summer beach read. Told in rotating POVs from three people on Block Island, RI (background pic is one I took on the island in winter several years ago.) I didn't feel like the author needed to keep us readers in suspense about one character's secret as it really isn't a thriller or anything, but I liked the peek into life on this isolated island.
pickYou will see the interaction of daily life Block Island residents with island summer visitors. Three different families will be involved during a summer season revealing some family secrets. What I liked is that there is representation of different generations and you will get interested in each one of them. It is a slow pace family drama with a sad twisted secret at the end for one of the families. I enjoyed it. 3.7⭐️
