Summer reading

Ahhh, summer. Sunshine. The beach. The smell of suntan lotion. Longer days.

And books.

A flood of summer reading lists is starting to pour in. I’ll try to keep up. Feel free to post suggested lists in the comments section.

I know one book I definitely will have my eye on: The Condition by Jennifer Haigh. I really liked both Mrs. Kimble and Baker Towers.

I'll try to keep you posted on summer reading suggestions and will share the list of books that I hope to read this summer. Please leave your suggestions for summer reading.
