Summer Picks!

 Over this summer break, I have taken many trips...through the books I have read!  As I look over my chronological list (wish now I had dated them), I think I have read about twenty books this summer.  Maybe?  So much enjoyment!

22. Deconstructed by Liz Talley (Facebook Lowcountry Book Club - ebook)
23. Unwritten by Charles Martin (LifeVerse Facebook Book Club - ebook)

Some of these I highly recommend.  Some of these are just so twisted!  Some of these are chick reads.  Most of them I read for book clubs, which means I might not have chosen them on my own, as I tend to get stuck in genre rut!

A definite change for me has been reading ebooks.  I would like to say this is saving me money...but...I have, also, purchased several books this summer!  I just keep adding to that TBR stack!

Back to ebooks, I purchased Kindle Reads and am reading enough per month to pay for the subscription.  Additionally, I have checked out several using the Overdrive ap; these I tend to read first as I may only check them out for two weeks (have two more waiting there for me now!  Oh, the pressure!)

Above, I highlighted by top six reads, all of which, yes, you should read!  My absolute favorite from those?  Well, I have two:  The One Hundred Years of Lennie and Margot and The Girl in His Shadow.  Just so good!  

What are your favorite reads this summer?
