Books I have read this summer

Confessions of a bookworm

I tend to read quite a bit in general but during the summer even more so. I am the kind of person who will stay up late reading even when I know I have to get up early the next day. I will have more than one book going at once and a stack in my night table next to my bed. If a book doesn't interest me I will stop reading it (which drives my husband crazy). I also will read the ending of a story before I am about half way through (which also makes him mad). I am always impressed by people who not only have a good story in their heads, but that also have the power to write it down well. It really is a talent!

Anyway, chalk it up to long flights, laziness out in the sun (or the rain) and lots of free time but this summer I read quite a bit. For the most part when I read for pleasure I choose novels in English since my mind needs a break from living life in Spanish. I also am still burned out a bit from graduate work in another language.

Here in Michigan we have a great used book store that allows us to stock up on the cheap. (I also usually only buy the inexpensive books offered on my Nook unless they are really something I want to read). I am always welcoming recommendations from other people!

Without further ado, here are the books I have read this summer.
