What’s in Your Summer TBR Pile?

Published on by macjam47

There are so many fantastic books available in every genre; it can be daunting to decide which book to read. There is a abundance of opportunities for summer reading: at the pool on a scorching afternoon or while waiting for the kids to finish up at practice or swim lessons or on the patio in the morning while it is still cool. Where do you like to read? When is the best time for you to turn the pages of a chapter or two?

Well, grab a tall, cool glass of iced tea, find a shady spot, and get started.

My picks for this summer from the books published in 2013 are:

  1. The History of Us by Leah Stewart (January 8, 2013)
  2. The Painted Girls by Cathy Buchanan (January 10, 2013)

Happy reading!

  1. Michelle I am always amazed when I read people’s to-read lists that there are so many books published in the world! I’m a great list-maker of jobs to do, but have never written a list of either the books I’ve read or the books I want to read: too intimidating. My husband and I share a bookshelf in the spare bedroom for our to-read books, he complains that 80% of them are mine! SD

    1. My husband doesn’t understand why I read so much. He watches television (the Military Channel, History Channel) while I read. Our bookshelves are over flowing with my books.

    1. Thank you. I look forward to your blog posts. I definitely will be reading LOUEY THE LAZY ELEPHANT. I love children’s books, especially when they are about elephants. Have you read STAND BACK SAID THE ELEPHANT, I’M GOING TO SNEEZE? So funny!
