Recent Reads

1. You Are Here: Personal Geographies and Other Maps of the Imagination
Love maps - have always loved maps - so had fun looking through this book. I've also got my nephews into maps - we draw them - we go exploring using them - what fun.

2. Suite Francaise
My book club selection for this month - really good writing for the first draft (the author dies in Auschwitz). You get a good sense of what happened to ordinary people during the years leading up to the war. I liked how she wrote, but overall did not love the book.
