The weather in the evenings have been perfect for sitting on the front porch and reading. My daughter and I have been trying to do this every night. As part of the library reading challenge she needs to get in 30 minutes of reading each day. As a result I am halfway through my summer reading list…
Orange Is The New Black My Year in a Women’s Prison By Piper KermanCompleted! This book kicked off summer. I wrote my thoughts here. |

Cocktails for Three By Madeleine WickhamCompleted! I went into this book expecting an ultra fluff read (not a bad thing). In the end I found a solid story about friendship between three women. A good read, would have been better on the beach, but my front porch had to do. |

Rework
By Jason Fried and David Heinemeier HanssonCompleted! This goes beyond a business book and can really be applied to anything you are pursuing. I LOVE how the book is written, it gets directly to the point without all the filler crap. Here is a great list of snippets sent to me. A good list to revisit often. |
The Year of Magical Thinking By Joan DidionAdded! This caught my eye last time I was in the book store and couldn’t resist buying it. I just got started on this book, but from the first pages it is anything but a lighthearted beach read. |
I have been going through about a book a week lately, I love Summer Reading. Do you have The Help on your list, I highly recommend it and would send it to you, but after I read it Scott did, then his mom, now my mom and then my sister is next. But it is SO good!
I do have that on my list. It is a hard book to borrow, as it gets snatched up quickly when someone is done with it. Aiming to get my hands on a copy for our beach trip in August.
