August 2019 Reads and Indian Lake
This month of August I'm going to sit here on Indian Lake listening to the seagulls while looking out over the water and talk to you about authors, book reviews, clubs, and Advance Reader Copies.


In case you missed it this month I received a copy of the Legacy Letters by Carew Papritz which gained the distinction of being the only book in publishing history to win awards in both fiction and non-fiction categories. This book is a treasure.
The Artisan Heart by Dean Mayes is a beautifully told story of new beginnings. One where we find unresolved feelings are identified and priorities defined to embrace life.


48 Peaks by Cheryl Suchors is an evocative read which teaches us how the experience of nature assists in the healing process.
There were two spotlight interviews this month.

Since my interview with Sonia Faruqi, she's shared good things are happening and explained Ethiopia has a 'green legacy' initiative with hopes to plant billions of trees. She also shared, Belize is becoming a world leader in protecting the ocean due to their implementation of the “no-take” zone.
Recently, I received a note from a publisher that an Advance Reader Copy (ARC) I was sent was being revised so it was requested that I not read the copy and instead wait for another copy to arrive in the mail. This is not unusual! As noted, ARC's are not the end version of a book. And frankly, when reading, I find things are sometimes out of sequence in these copies so I look forward to reading the revised copy.

This month the Top 10 Audience is from the United States, Ukraine, Russia, Colombia, France, Germany, Canada, Malaysia, United Kingdom, and Belgium.
