Let the reading begin!

I'm thinking today about my reading plans for the summer.

How about you? What are you reading today?
What do you hope to read this summer?


It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between!  This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from! I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme Book Journey loves to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme. Book Journey offers a weekly contest for those who visit 10 or more of the Monday Meme participants and leave a comment telling BJ how many you visited.

    I'm reading crime fiction today and this week. I have no particular reading goals for the summer, though. Maybe I should get some! :-)

    I brought two grocery bags of books to my summer home with me. I hope to make a dent in that bunch this summer. Come see my week here. Happy reading!

    Many of the books on your list sound like good reads. I think I would go for Duel with the Devil. I love history, fiction and non-fiction. :)

    Happy summer vacation!!! I'm starting to feel like summer vacation is a national holiday! :-) I hope you have a good time at the conference. Today I'm reading Lynda Barry's What It Is. I think you'll enjoy it.

    What GREAT sounding non-fiction picks! Duel with the Devil sounds fantastic. Even though I know a bit about him, I've been wanting to dig into Aaron Burr more since he showed up in The Blood of Heaven, a fiction title I read recently.

    Happy First-Day-Of-Summer Vacation.

    AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW....how wonderful.

    Before I retired last year, I just savored EVERY day of summer vacation. Now I savor every day of retirement. :)

    Enjoy your summer and your books.

    Enjoy your books. I'm reading Close My Eyes by Sophie Mckenzie. My plans for the summer are to just continue reading the books on my TBR pile.
