My Favorite Books of the Summer


Well, I have been avoiding this post for as long as possible, because I didn't want to admit summer is coming to an end, but here we are.  I can feel those crisp fall mornings elbowing their way in.  But it was a great summer, right? I hope yours was filled with good books and great times hopefully somewhere near the water. 

Also, the winner of my beach read giveaway goes to Summer H. A very fitting name for the giveaway! Congrats, Summer! I hope you enjoy the book.
