Book Box: Rainy Reads
Absorb nature, immerse yourself in thrilling geopolitics, and venture into time travel, with these enticing monsoon reads. Also the book to read on Roe v Wade being overthrown.
Dear Reader,
We are listening to Carolina on repeat. This happens in our house with every newly released Taylor Swift song, but this song has a special significance for me too.
Carolina is the haunting title track for Where the Crawdads Sing, a film based on the novel of the same name. With the movie releasing in a few weeks, it’s the perfect time to curl up indoors, on a rainy day, to read this book.
Book 1 of 5: A novel of nature
Book 2 of 5: Geopolitical thriller
Book 3 of 5: A Japanese time travel story
Book 4 of 5: River stories
Book 5 of 5: A picture book
Want to protest Roe v Wade being overthrown? Read this book.
That’s all the reading for this week. Next week, as we celebrate National Doctors Day on July 1, we look at some fabulous fiction and non-fiction written by doctors and about doctors.
Until then, happy reading!
