What are you reading this summer?
I don't seem to have enough time to watch movies this summer but I am getting a lot of reading in. Our library has a sort of eclectic collection of something like 9,000 titles so it's a great place to catch up on the classics or read about something you weren't even sure you were interested in. I have been reading about Managing a Business lately. I am also reading Charlotte Bronte, one of those books I feel like I should have read a million years ago.
What's on your bedside table? What do you have in your beach bag? Let us know.
BTW we are starting up a new blog where we talk about our favorite books and movies, so look for that soon, Bookworms and Movie buffs!
