Alice Hoffman weaves fiction and fact in The Dovekeepers, a thrilling, passionate story of four women who come together to tend the doves in Masada. While I was in Israel 2 summers ago, my group talked about going to Masada, but our guide said there wasn't really much to see...and it was a day trip there and back from Jerusalem. After reading Dovekeepers I'm thinking it would be very interesting.
So, what are you reading for your summer, recreational reading? If it gets hot ( and it will), I need good books to keep me inside and near the air conditioner.
I'm doing a book study for the Daily 5/CAFE and Concious Discipline. I will get around to reading some "me" books, but I'm just a glutton for punishment at the moment!
ReplyDeleteI am going to be reading There Are No Shortcuts by Rafe Esquith.

I just finished reading "The Enchantress" which is the last book of The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel series. (The first book is called "The Alchemyst." Great series!
