The highlight of my summers has always been the chance to read — and read a lot. Growing up, I would go to the library every day. While I enjoyed the programs the library had to offer, I really loved the chance to peruse all of the books available. In college, summer meant I would finally have choice in my reading material after reading for courses all year. As a teacher, my school year reading was usually in preparation for what my students would be reading. Summers were times for me to choose for ME. Here are a few places to find lists of suggested titles for summer reading — for YOU.
