Summer is the perfect time to catch up on a little reading. It hasn't always been easy to find that time, but somehow I seem to squeeze it in. At the beginning of each summer, I compile a list of the books I would like to finish before the new school year begins. I've NEVER made it through an entire list, but I love to try.
So back to my summer reading list. I don't have my complete list yet, but here is my plan so far:
- A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith (I'm already halfway through this and have a hard time putting it down.)
- The Mitford Series by Jan Karon (I've started it before but have not finished.)
- Disciplines of the Beautiful Woman by Anne Ortlund
- The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (this time from cover to cover)
This list I think I can actually finish. Does anyone out there have any favorite summer reading books? Any suggestions?
Men are like Waffles and Women are like Spaghetti was quite funny. I am reading Humor for a woman's heart. The short story method of writing is kinda choppy, but keeps it changing. It is quite funny. After that book, I am hoping to actually finish Macbeth. I started earlier this year and have not finished it. (read it before, but I am a finisher!) Order in the Court is another book I am about to finish. I started a book while my sister was here, and she left with the book. I have to get. I don't remember the name but it was a good book. The Old Man and the Sea is a other one I want to read. So there is my list so far! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, Michelle! Chris can hopefully tell you a thing or two about Macbeth : ) I've heard of Men are like Waffles and Women are like Spaghetti. I'd like to add that to my journal. Thanks for the great ideas. BTW, praying for you!!!!
ReplyDeleteOOOh I have tried to read The count of monte cristo a few times and I always fall asleep... you have inspired me to try again, and if anything I will be well rested :)
