August heat and L.A traffic has me reading indoors in the evenings and listening to audio books on my way home from work. This month, I picked up two very different reads one is teen and one is adult fiction. "The Paris Wife," by McClain is a fictional story based on the true events of Hadley and Ernest Hemmingway's marriage. If you know Hem, he was not the easiest man to get along with. The second book, which I am listening to on audio, is a fun magical teen read based in Georgia titled, " The Magnolia League."
Before you ask, no I have not finished the entire book ( either one). However, I am hopeful that I will make it to the last page (of both) before Labor Day.
Perhaps you can catch up with me and we can discuss the endings? Hmmmm??!
Please note: I am talking up " The Paris Wife," on my teen/tween blog as many high school students are required to read The Great Gatsby and they may enjoy McClain's book as well since it reflects upon the same era. Happy reading!
