I had a productive reading summer! We didn't travel as much as we usually do, we were home more often and the kids were all busy so I got caught up on a lot of my TBR!
Drum roll... I read 45 books! HOLY COW! I didn't think I'd read that many until just now when I counted! WAHOO! That cleaned out a lot of my list plus new books.
But I can't believe summer is coming to an end. I LOVE the sun! I love the relaxed schedules and routines. I LOVE sleeping in. I love the fresh food and BBQ's and being outdoors. I'm going to let myself grieve a little bit over the next few weeks.
These were my favorite books from the summer (in order of last read):
