Books Beside My Reading Chair #1

Currently, there are eleven books on the table beside my reading chair and these are the books that I will be reading in July and August 2014.  Two of these books came through BookTube recommendations, thanks to Rincey Reads and Frenchiedee, and the other nine were harvested from my To Be Read List; also, ten of these books are physical books which I borrowed from the Pulaski County Public Library and one book is an eBook that I will be reading through Scribd.

1.  The Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri
2.  52 Loaves by William Alexander (eBook)
3.  Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat
4.  Delicious! by Ruth Reichl
