Summer Reads

This Saturday marks the official FIRST DAY of Summer, and what goes better with Summer than books?

Nothing.

It's like peanut butter and jelly.

Batman and Robin.

Beer and pretzels.

Wine and ... well, anything.

And let me tell you, I just finished another book that totally threw me at the end.  Beautifully written, and unlike anything I've ever read,  We Were Liars by E. Lockhart will definitely make you think.

I'm sad that it's over and not sure what I'll pick up next.  I call this feeling a book hangover when you don't want something to end, and then when it does, you feel a little lost.

But it's summer, remember?  So there has to be something on the horizon... Something to pick up on the very first day of Summer.

And so it begins...

I guess my first official summer book will have to be Catching Air by Sarah Pekkanen.

I'm sure you all know this by now, but I LOVE all things Sarah.  Her stories, her writing, and her characters who are so real you feel like you already know them.

Sarah is one of those writers who makes me want to be a better writer.  I will admit to a touch of writer envy when I finish one of her books.

There you have it.  The Official Summer Reading Kickoff.

What are you reading this week?
