summer, summer, summertime...

It’s official…I’m on summer vacation!  I love summer. Warm weather. Sunshine. Barbeques. Sleeping in. Swimming.  And this summer…reading.  

I love to read, but for me, finding time to read is like finding a needle in a haystack!  It’s partially my own fault.  While I am super busy, I also don’t make time to read.  My free time quickly disappears to the t.v. or computer.  I’m the type of person that will start a book, love it, and still take six months to finish it.  However, I would describe this summer as a relatively relaxing one so I’m turning over a new leaf!  I am looking forward to sleeping in, days by the pool and lots and lots of reading.  To make sure that comes true, I came up with a summer reading list.  I started out with a goal of 10 books to read this summer.  I had a few books right away that I wanted to read, but got stuck around 7.  As I talked to people, they started recommending books that I MUST read.  Now my list consists of 12 books…ready to be read by yours truly!

Here are the books I already have on hand.  WIth the help of my Kindle I think I am set to go!  I will check back at the end of the summer and let you know how I did!  I’m already almost finished with one…started it a couple months ago, but added it to the list for a boost of confidence when I can finally cross it off!  For now, I must go pick up a book!
