So, it's that time of year again. Last summer-well, most summers over the last few years-I was busy working. This summer, I'm taking it "easy". Well, as easy as possible considering how much work I really have ahead of me. *Insert vague reference here about my job next year*. More information soon, I promise.
Anyway, I'm not working a separate job, but I'll be working on things for next year. In my spare time (I'll actually have some!), I am going to be doing a lot of reading. Here's the beginnings of my reading list. I'll admit, there are WAY more books on this list than I probably can realistically read. But, I'm making the list nonetheless. I have so many books that I want to read, and I need to start somewhere.

I will probably be adding to this later. Actually, I know I will. I may also be crossing things off the list on my blog as I read them. :)
I'm excited. I love reading, and there are times I just feel I don't have the time or energy to devote to a book. This summer is going to be the summer I just enjoy my books.
What are you planning to read this summer? Anything you think I should add to the list?
I think you should post book reviews on your blog! There are some books I want to read but don't know if they are good or worth my time, etc etc. If you post book review that would be most helpful!!! :) Maybe I'll start doing it, too, then we'll both have more book options!
ReplyDeleteSounds good. I'll start with the book I just finished, even though it's not on the list!
DeleteI've read Between Shades of Gray & Velvet Elvis. They are great! You'll have to let me know what you think of some of these. :) Also...must now your job update news!!
