Summer Reading | Book Chatter

Hello, friends! I am part of the influencer campaign for The Clover Girls which is now available in stores! Here’s a little bit about the book:

#TheCloverGirls by @viola_shipman is in stores NOW! Grab a copy of this “beautiful novel” (@nancythayer) that @kristywharvey calls “a love song to long-lost friends, an ode to the summers that make us who we are.” Sweet, nostalgic, and loaded with 80s references, THE CLOVER GIRLS is the tale of four women whose friendship was formed at the Lake Michigan summer camp of their youth.

Shipman deftly explores how the bonds of friendship are tested over time, and the value of never losing sight of the people and places that make us who we are. As @maryalicemonroe says, “Like a true friendship, THE CLOVER GIRLS is a novel you will forever savor and treasure.” @graydonhousebooks @authorwaderouse #summerreading #beachreads #authorsofinstagram

Doesn’t it sound good?

10 Books of Summer

Cathy from 746 Books announced her 20 Books of Summer event!

I know with all the moving that my kids will be doing between Southern California, Kansas and Missouri, I will not get to 20 books. I know this for a fact! But, I was reminded that there is a 10 or 15 book option. With my brain the way it has been even 10 sounds like a stretch but I love a good list and I love planning.

Here are the details (loosely). Visit Cathy’s page for more info.

Choose your list and share it with her when she kicks off the event.
When you post about it, use the hashtag #20booksofsummer21. I plan to use this hashtag for my 10 book goal as well.
Runs from Tuesday, June 1 and finishes on Wednesday, September 1.
In the past she has read the books and posted the reviews by the time the event ends but I won’t be doing that. Especially as August will be really busy for me between the move and also my own campus starting back up.

Here is what I hope to read and I’ve included publication dates to keep me on track.
