{so, this has been sitting in my drafts for a few weeks and I totally forgot about it! I've already read several of these, but I didn't want a post to go to waste!)
Oh, summer break, so many of your activities lend themselves so nicely to reading. Travel? Yup, on the plane, in the hotel, on a balcony. Pool lounging? Of course. Hot temps that need to be avoided? Find my on the couch with a book in one hand and a tug-of-war rope for the dog in the other. Temporary SAHMing? Let's have "reading time" together at the park! Not to mention the fact that I don't have papers to grade, lessons to plan, concerns to stress about, time spent commuting, a grueling 5:08 am weekday alarm, time spent helping my kid with his homework and ALL the other time demands of the normal work year.
Just, really, so much time to read.
So, what's on the docket?
Here's the list of books I plan to get to over the next two glorious book-filled months:
Fiction:
Unlikely Animals by Annie Hartness
Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart
Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart
No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

This Time Tomorrow by Emma Straub
The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante
Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel
The Candy House by Jennifer Egan

Non-Fiction
The Gardener and the Carpenter by Alison Gopnik
Happy-Go-Lucky by David Sedaris
Buried in the Sky by Peter Zuckerman and Amanda Padoan

From where I sit, fourteen books might be possible?
