More Stories from Grandma's Attic, by Arleta Richardson
45/60 | Started 08.25.25 • Finished 09.18.25 | 5 stars
A fun little collection of often humorous stories that come with some sort of lesson. We read the first book as a read-aloud two years ago and this one was just as delightful. Carolyn loved it!
The Memory of Old Jack, by Wendell Berry
44/60 | Started 09.08.25 • Finished 09.18.25 | 4 stars
Old Jack is getting up in years. This book recounts his relational histories with many of the characters in Berry's fictional town of Port William. I really enjoyed learning about each of the characters, either from Jack's memories or from their memories of Jack. Berry makes you fall in love with his characters and their way of life. This is the third book in the Port William series and might be my favorite yet.
This Is Happiness, by Niall Williams
43/60 | Started 08.26.25 • Finished 09.08.25 | 4.5 stars
A coming of age story, in a way. I really like Williams's writing, his description of place and time. It's been a while since I read it, but it was quite enjoyable.
