TEN BOOKS OF SUMMER

 


Summer is "right around the corner," but where I live, summer has arrived. 


Technically, summer begins when we take a break from school and all activities have halted. I only have one homeschooler left, and she is doing school at her own pace. (This fall she will be a senior.) Her year-end dance recital is this weekend, with a summer break to follow. Yay! And my son completed his final karate tournament a few weekends ago. Therefore, no more traveling until next year; then, summer officially begins next week for me. 


However, I am so behind!! I have seven unreviewed books sitting on my nightstand, which will be my homework for the summer. Then, I saw this on Fanda's blog -- Twenty Books of Summer, which will help me focus to knock out more reading and to add more books to my unreviewed pile. For me, I am going to aim for ten. Annabel is hosting on her blog Anna Book Bel. You can sign up there, if you haven't already. 


These are the books on my summer TBR list:

1. Muir: My First Summer in the Sierra 
2. Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451
3. Bainton: The Reformation of the 16th Century
4. - 6. Shakespeare: Richard III / A Midsummer Night's Dream / Hamlet 
7. Stewart: Letters of a Woman Homesteader
8. Barakat: Balcony on the Moon
9. Lewis: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
10. Kovaciny: My Rock and My Refuge

There are only two summer-related titles in my group, but I am already committed to three reading challenges this year, and many of these titles are also my unreads, which I need to get them read or else.

Enjoy your summer reading!!

  1. Hello Emma, I hope you will enjoy your summer break and your summer reading. I adore The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, and I thought Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury was great too.
    Blessings, Jessica 💌

    1. Hi Jessica, (Actually, I'm Ruth. I think Emma is half-host to this event.) Anyway, both of those titles you mention are favorites of mine, and it has been so long since I last read them. Time for a reread.
