Book Talks Recommendations - July 2023

We've been reading a lot of nonfiction this summer.  Along with a plethora of nonfiction choices, you'll find historical fiction, beach reads and even a complicated "heist story" written by a 2-time Pulitzer Prize winning author n this month's list.

Not a book but give try Julie Louis Dreyfus's Podcast Wiser Than Me. Julie interviews older women like "Jane Fonda, Carol Burnett, Amy Tan, Diane von Furstenberg, Isabel Allende and Fran Lebowitz (and more!) to get schooled in how to live a full and meaningful life. We hear it's fabulous!
