Oprah’s 25 Books of Summer
Unsurprisingly, Oprah has a few book picks for Summer - 25 to be exact and a nice assortment. Here are three I will likely pick up:
A Meaningful Life by L.J. Davis
A reissue of L.J. Davis's 1971 comic novel in which a plumbing magazine editor and frustrated novelist takes on the renovation of a run-down mansion in a Brooklyn slum.
Plan Bee by Susan Brackney
There is some cause for alarm at the rate at which bees are disappearing around the world. Brackney, a beekeeper, illuminates the nature of this hero of the food chain.
Farm City by Novella Carpenter
A food writer's memoir of her squatter's garden in an Oakland, California ghetto is an inspiration to anyone who wishes to pursue the agricultural dream while remaining in the city limits.
