Summer is for catching up on reading. There is something about reading outside in the sun or under a tree that is so lovely.
I finished Heather Dixon’s Burlington recently. It explored a mother’s social pressures to fit in. After just finishing a year full of pick ups and drop offs, I enjoyed this one.
Another book I’m reading also explores motherhood. Adrienne Gruber’s debut collection of essays, Monsters, Martyrs, and Marionettes is a fasinating read about parenting and caring, and living and surviving. I’m almost halfway though and have found Gruber’s writing has resonated with me. I’m looking forward to finishing this one soon.
