Two Terrific Books - September Edition
Hello, Hungry Readers,
Well, I’m still here. And things continue to be interesting in DC. I am a summer tennis fan, which is to say, I watch Wimbledon, the DC Open, the US Open and then I mostly ignore tennis for the rest of the year. I will tell you the one thing researching sports schedules for book reasons has taught me is that being sportsy is exhausting.
Bookshop links for books included.
But I enjoyed Katherine Reilly’s Match Point where a somewhat recently dumped and fired aspiring graphic artist decides to rent out her southwest London flat for Wimbledon and go off for a quiet vacay. Only to discover her flat has been rented by the tantrum throwing tennis player Kieran O’Sullivan and also, ha, the cottage she rented for her vacay is now unavailable and she’s going to have to also stay in the flat.
And in non-sportsy books, but still forced proximity, and also still British, I enjoyed Ada Barume’s Love Overboard, in which the new chef of a luxury yacht finds herself quite annoyed by the first officer, but also he is annoyingly hot, but also she’s been burned by dating coworkers before.
May your hot but annoying roommates and shipmates become less annoying. Or something like that. Happy reading folks!
