Summer Reading Hammock Giveaway!

Fun summer books & hammocks.


Is there a better combination? (Ok, maybe if you throw an ice cold lemonade in there as well.)


We thought it would be fun for everyone to list their favorite summer reading book of all time, and where you were when you read it. It can be from a vacation you took as a child. Or the vacation you’re taking right this very moment. It can trashy, sophisticated, funny, classic…whatever.


Brent’s favorite summer read was a book called The Saturdays, by Elizabeth Enright. He found it while visiting his grandparents, on a bookshelf in his mother’s childhood bedroom. He re-read it every summer of his youth, sitting under the same chestnut tree in his grandparents’ yard.

Josh loved a crazy book called House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski that he took with him on a long summer trip to visit his uncle in France. It’s a pyschological/supernatural cult horror novel that completely overshadowed the trip. But was so good that it was worth it.

A friend at Serenity Health and Home Decor has generously donated this cool Handmade Mayan Double Hammock for a giveaway. So simply share your all-time favorite summer read in the comment section below, as well as a sentence or two about where you were when you read it. Enter by next Monday, July 8, 11:59pm, and we’ll choose a random winner on Tuesday, July 9th. (Apologies, but due to shipping constraints, winning entrants must live in the contiguous U.S.)

Well, I can't win as I'm in Canada (and I don't have a yard :() but I'll share anyway because I think everyone should give my favorite a try. My favorite is A Tree Grows In Brooklyn by Betty Smith. The book cycles through several seasons, but it begins with a description of the still, warm summer days of an eleven year old girl, and so when the days start to grow warmer and slower, I reach for Francie's story. I cannot say enough about how delicious of a read this book is. And here is chapter 1 to give you a start.

Nikki I don't think I can pick just one. But during the summertime I'm usual always reading a Haruki Murakami book. For some reason his writing just reminds me of summer.
