Well, it’s that time again!  I’ve just about finished all the books from Reading List #2, so it’s time to pick out a few new reads!

 

1.  Everybody Was So Young: Gerald and Sara Murphy: A Lost Generation Love Story by Amanda Vaill

Everybody Was So Young

I’m very excited to read this biography about Gerald and Sara Murphy, a couple that was the basis of some wonderful characters in novels by F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, and John Dos Passos.  Plus, I love the 1920s!

 

2.  Encyclopedia of the Exquisite by Jessica Kerwin Jenkins

I’ve had my eye on this book for a very long time, and I finally treated myself as a birthday present.  It is full of such wonderful information, and I highly recommend it!

 

3.  Mockingbird: A Portrait of Harper Lee by Charles J. Shields

I am completely obsessed with To Kill A Mockingbird and Harper Lee, and I can’t wait to read a little bit more about the recluse author and her friendship with Truman Capote!

 

Well, that’s all!  Hopefully I’ll be busy reading through the month, but if I finish early, I’ll add a few more books!
