10 Books of Summer 2016
Cathy at 746 Books is hosting 20 Books of Summer again, or if you’re a slow reader like me, 10 Books of Summer. Looking back at last year, I’m pretty happy with how well I did. I finished 7/10 from my list! I also think picking from my other reading lists really helped keep things fresh. Instead of giving myself “switch-out” ability this year, I’m picking a dozen books.
