Summer Reads

Permalink for this paragraph 0 As we near these last grueling days of the semester, which will be consumed of nothing but staying up late to cram for our exams [I just rhymed there], I post this week with the intent to discover what will be on everyone’s “summer reading lists.” Perhaps for some of you a summer reading list is the last thing you want to be thinking about, but I am always thinking/adding books to mine! I am sure my list is filled with at least two-hundred plus. Now clearly I won’t even get to fifty books…not even twenty books, but I like to keep my options open. I enjoy hearing what other people will be reading or what other people like to read. Sometimes I find myself stuck in the same genre, just because that is what I am comfortable in, and I don’t allow myself to get out and experience other types of literary pleasures. So please, send me some of your books that you will be delving into this summer – I would love to hear what you will all be reading! And note: If you are not a summer reader then boo! There is no better season than summer to just sit outside in the sun with a good read!

4. The Handmaids Tale

Permalink for this paragraph 0 Now I know my list covers quite a few different genres but like I said, normally I get comfortable in one literary field…I have to ensure I change it up! If any of you have read these, I would love your input!
