HOW FUN was June’s reading picks?! I don’t know about you but I adored reading Remarkably Bright Creatures. We had a small turn out for book club but it was still a great time. So good we forgot to snap a picture! The kids relished playing together while we discussed the book. One little was particularly excited to talk about The Octopus Escapes. We’re so excited to see the group grow!

July’s pick came from a Pinterest mood board of all things!

The Hotel Nantucket by Elin Hilderbrand seems like a perfect beach or mid-summer read.

From Goodreads: “After a tragic fire in 1922 that killed 19-year-old chambermaid, Grace Hadley, The Hotel Nantucket descended from a gilded age gem to a mediocre budget-friendly lodge to inevitably an abandoned eyesore — until it's purchased and renovated top to bottom by London billionaire, Xavier Darling. Xavier hires Nantucket sweetheart Lizbet Keaton as his general manager, and Lizbet, in turn, pulls together a charismatic, if inexperienced, staff who share the vision of turning the fate of the hotel around. They face challenges in getting along with one another (and with the guests), in overcoming the hotel's bad reputation, and in surviving the (mostly) harmless shenanigans of Grace Hadley herself — who won't stop haunting the hotel until her murder is acknowledged.

Filled with the emotional tension and multiple points of view that characterize Elin's books (The Blue Bistro, Golden Girl) as well as an added touch of historical reality, Hotel Nantucket offers something for everyone in this summer drama for the ages. ”
