I am looking forward to two R’s this Summer: reading and relaxing- on the beach, by the lake, in a hammock, at the park….anywhere OUTSIDE. Hooray for Summer! I am going to try and read the books that have remained, undeservedly, in the stack for far too long. This is my time, baby! Generally I am a non-fiction reader, so this book pile reflects (primarily) that tendency. But, I would love to lose myself in a fiction read if the right one happens along! Here’s my list. I would love to know what books will be in your Beach Bag this Summer! If you have a great fiction suggestion, let me know!

I won many of these through giveaways or gifts and look forward to catching up on some of the wonderful reading I have received! I bought a few. The last group I got for free at our church one Sunday, when they were left on the foyer table with a FREE sign on them (much to my joy and hubby’s dismay!). One can never have too many books is my philosophy.
So, do tell me what you are reading this Summer!

Oooo…sounds like a good summer! I've read Reshaping It All. It was interesting…maybe a little light if I remember correctly. Love Stormie O'Martian! I can't believe I haven't read that one. Do tell how A Place to Belong is, it sounds good. Oh shoot, review them all for us. You know, while you're relaxing. 😉
