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.
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!!
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.

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.
