Summer Reading List

Many people make plans to do a lot of reading over the summer.  They anticipate the opportunity to hang out with a good book, iced tea in-hand, and relax in their backyard.  Or better yet, the beach vacation where you lounge in the sand with a can't-put-it-down thriller and a cooler full of your favorite beverage. 

I am lucky to read the daily paper in the summer.  With my kids out of school, I rarely get a moment's peace to sit down and really get into a good book.  I have one that I started in early June.  It's a pretty short book and I am just half-way through it!  And it's a good book too!  I just can't find the time to sit down and read unless I stay up way into the night and I just can't bring myself to do that.  Sleep is too important to me. 

I do have books I wish to get to.  I just probably won't get to them until this fall, once the bright yellow school bus takes my children away once again (insert devilish grin).

So, here's what I am wishing to read, hopefully sooner rather than later.  Post a comment and tell me what you are reading right now or perhaps what is on your reading wish list!
