June's Book of the Month

Hello Everyone! I chose the picture posted above because it reminds me of reading to my daughter Mareena when she was little. Every afternoon until she was about eight or nine years old, we would take one of her books that she wanted to read or that she was reading and we would curl up together on my big bed. 

We would spend an hour or so reading a chapter of her book, and then take a nap together. Her absolutely favorite author at that time was an English author named Enid Blyton. Ahh, nice memories...

My picks for 'Books of the Month' will be decidedly more adult these days, but they will be from almost any genre. June's Book of the Month is: 

Duma Key by Stephen King

Published as: Duma Key: A Novel in January 2008

Publisher: Scribner

Birth Name: Stephen Edwin King

Born: 21 September 1947 in Portland, Maine

Canonical Name: Stephen King

Pseudonyms: Richard Bachman and John Swithen

Duma Key was the thirty-fifth book that I read in 2010. I have had this book on my TBR shelf since December 1, 2009 and this was actually a reread for me. The first time that I read this book was in May of 2009 - it took me ten days to read this book, and then I returned it to the library.

Unbeknownst to me, Mareena picked up a second copy for me from Paperback Swap in December of 2009. I read this book again in June of 2010 - this time it took me six days to read and is definitely a keeper for me.
