This is what I do: Two weeks before school's out I start requesting books from my three favorite libraries. I request a couple of books at Paperbackswap. I buy a few books at Amazon. I pick up a couple more books at Barnes & Noble. And there are always the usual books-to-review that seem to arrive rather steadily at three a week these days.
Here's some of the thirty or so books that I'm set to read this summer:
Some fun cookbooks.
Paris. Of course.
Writing. And drawing.
Origami stories. Philosophy. And poetry.
And an amazing book I request every summer:
The Most Beautiful Libraries in the World.

Vicki, what a nice variety there, I've seen that "most beautiful libraries book" it's wonderful - great photos.
ReplyDeleteAh, these are lovely! And since you purged some shelves, you have room...right?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy...and thanks for visiting my blog.
Not Vicki (though I always wanted to be named Vicki, I think). Thanks for stopping by, Diane!
ReplyDeleteYes, lots of room, Laurel-Rain Snow.
ReplyDeleteYahoo for stacks of books! :D I've heard good things about that Rutherford, I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to start the summer. I always raid the shelves at work since I work in a library. Last summer I brought home 30 books, but this summer I chose 6. I figure I can go back any time I need a YA fix!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed Paris by Edward Rutherfurd -- and it took my whole France trip to read it! Here were my thoughts: http://www.joyweesemoll.com/2013/06/07/book-review-paris-by-edward-rutherfurd/
