Ahhh-the days of summer. Are there any days that are better? Even Henry James said:
“Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language”
I whole heartedly agree! I have a stack of books on my bedside table, the floor, all around my house that I have on my summer reading list. I am one of those people who read several books at once. It depends on what kind of mood I am in. Maybe this constitutes a split personality, but I love to read and they are like my children-they all need my attention!
Right now I am finishing "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" by Stieg Larsson, "The Last Time I Saw You" by Elizabeth Berg, "Bed of Roses" by Nora Roberts, "Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin, and "The Wildwater Walking Club" by Claire Cook. Quite a diverse grouping but that's what I've got. I really need to talk with Father Time about adding a few more hours to the day so that I can squeeze in a few more hours of reading time. My children get out of school tomorrow, so I think I am going to have to set some mandatory reading time during the day-just to keep my sanity. They are not interested in the pool any longer but there is no way they will be sitting around all summer! Year round school? Anyone, anyone?
What are you reading? Do you have anything you could recommend? I would love to know what you are reading this summer!
As they say in the brilliant Barnes and Noble add, "Read Forever"!!
