Decision Time: What to Read Next?
Tonight, one of my favorites events ever is going to happen. I finished my nighttime book last night, and tonight I get to pick out which book to dive into next. I live for this moment.
But so many choices! And it’s such a big decision. Do I hit up one of Jennifer Weiner’s that I haven’t read yet? Or Barbara Kingsolver? Which way do I turn?!
After careful strategizing and planning, I have narrowed my next bedtime read down to two choices. Neither is one that I had heard of prior to spying them at the used bookstore, but both remind me of another story that I’ve previously enjoyed.
Option 1: Tuscany for Beginners (2005) by Imogen Edwards-Jones, which sounds like a more comical version of Under the Tuscan Sun (1997) by Frances Mayes.
Option 2: The Birth of Venus (2004) by Sarah Dunant seems to fall in line perfectly with Tracy Chevalier’s fantastic works of fiction blended with art history.
Decisions, decisions …
