September Reading Goals



 Hey Everyone!

I am a major reader and I love giving book suggestions, so I thought why not share what I'm reading with all of you.  You might actually find something that you will like from my list.  A lot of things will be going on in September and I am not sure how much time I will actually have to read. I decided to give you five of the books that are on the list to tackle in September.


1.  Mean Spirit by Linda Hogan  This book I'm excited to read.  We are actually reading it for my local library's Let's Talk About It Oklahoma which is a annual book discussion where a scholar comes in and does a program over it.  Kind of a suspenseful thriller about a Native American agent who is sent to Oklahoma to investigate the murder of a woman.  She discovers fraud to say the least.


2.  I Swear by Lane Davis This book has been on my "to-read" list for a long, long time.  It was a book on my list last year that I never got around to reading.  I read a lot of Young Adult Fiction, to be honest, a lot of Adult Fiction bores me to tears.  This book deals with the fallout from a suicide of a bullied girl and the real consequences associated with it.


3.  House Made of Dawn by N. Scott Momaday This is the final book in my libraries Let's Talk About It Oklahoma series.  This has been a really great book series.  In Momaday's book he tells the story of a Native American man who has returned home from war to find himself caught between the world of his father and the modern world.


4.  A Year in the Word by Frances Mayes I am very excited to dive into this book.  I'm trying to leave the world of armchair traveling and really get out there and see this country and world.  In this book you follow along with a woman (and usually her husband) as they travel around the world together.  I've read a few of the pages as a preview and you can almost picture what she describes as you read it.


5.  The Barcode Tattoo by Suzanne Weyn I stumbled onto this book from a suggestion list of books if you like the Hunger Games.  I will be excited to read this trilogy.  Dystopian books are really becoming popular, well more popular after the success of the Hunger Games.  In this book dangerous events begin to happen after a girl decides to go against norm and not get the barcode tattoo.

I am anxiously awaiting the release of Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo.  I came across her when I read her Grisha Trilogy earlier this year.  Fantastic new writer.







Welcome to the So. Okie Blogger

Hey Everyone!

I'm so excited to have moved here from WordPress.  A lot of the bloggers that I follow use blogspot, so I decided to make the move also.  This blog will be about things happening in my daily life, things I love, deals, travel and a variety of things.

I hope you guys will enjoy this blog as much as I'm going to love writing it.
