June Books

Congratulations ... we've completed the first cycle of BLBC.  Let's keep the same alphabetical rotation and just nominate the book of the month somewhere around the time of the month.

So, here are June's books.

Main Selection:
Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly

Michael Connelly is part of the genre I call "loner guys who go around beating up people".  I started reading these books when I was a workaholic and very stressed out.  Connelly has a long series with the character Harry Bosch, an LA cop with issues.  The Lincoln Lawyer started as a standalone book but he has since added one more with the same character, Mickey Haller (a lawyer with issues).

I think Connelly tells a good story, develops good characters and shows you LA.

Alternate Selection:
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

I know, I know ... either you've already read this or everyone has told you to read it.  It it my favorite charming book.  When I finished this book I turned to the beginning and read it again.
