Reading is something that has always been a huge part of my summer. I remember as a child, curling up in a livingroom chair and reading Nancy Drew Mysteries or the Boxcar Children for hours. Then I would run to the library to return the books I read and take out another 4 books to start the process all over again. These days I still enjoy a good mystery and I can even be convinced to read a “beach” novel that does not take much concentration. My favorite books just happen to be memoir followed by some sort of non-fiction. This summer I have 3 “beach” reads selected to start with.
I started late, just last Wednesday or Thursday, but I finished my first book on Sunday. I have started my second book but it has been slow going since I have shop work to do most evenings. I haven’t forgotten my manifesto and I have been reading every day, but sometimes it is work related reading. When work is a quilt shop, the reading is all good! In fact, one of the books I am reading for work happens to be a book that I am thinking about using as a book club at the shop.
I am hoping to finish 10 books this summer and I am happy with my progress so far! Here’s to summer and the opportunity to read for enjoyment!
