My 2017 Summer Reading List

Summer Reading List for 2017 Graphic

This post can alternately be called “Please Let Me Read All Day While Swinging In a Hammock and Sipping A Cold Drink” but that would be too long.

My list is short but these are the books that I want to read over these hot summer months.

Summer Reading List 2017

Into the Water by Paula Hawkins
American War by Omar El Akkad
Woman No. 17 by Edan Lepucki
Perennials by Mandy Berman
The Party by Robyn Harding
The Gypsy Moth Summer by Julia Fierro

This summer I aimed for page-turners and then added the one book about summer camp. I can’t attend camp this year because of the shows my daughter is in but the student ministry leaves this weekend and I am so sad to not be going with them. I just HAD to add a summer camp book to the pile.

Are you making a list? If so, what’s the one book that you know will be on it?

Summer Reading

S

This has seriously been THE best summer of reading I’ve had in a long time. It’s not like I’ve read tons of books but the ones I’ve read have been so much fun to read. I’ve had the luxury of quiet evenings this summer too and I really, really needed them.

My routine:

  • Eat dinner
  • Hide

Yes. The Girl comes looking for me and finds me every time. I ask her to read with me but nope. School reading logs have really turned her off to reading which of course wrecks me in so many ways. Instead she does yoga while I read. Often right next to me. At least it’s a quiet activity.

Usually I try to read some heavier books in the summer but this summer I’ve had fun picking up whatever catches my eye. I so rarely do that!

Just Finished:

What are you reading right now? Has it been a summer of reading for you too?
