Now there's a view I love during the summer!
One of my favorite things about summer is lying on the beach and reading a good book.
Even though I read all year round, there's just something special about "summer reading."
So, I've been working on creating a summer reading list. It's not very long so far.
Usually, my summer reading list consists of a lot of girly romance novels and maybe an occasional suspense novel.
That's not happening this year. All of the books I have so far are nonfiction.
I've never been a big reader of nonfiction. One of my resolutions was to read more nonfiction. So far this year, that's one resolution I've kept.
I still would love to find a couple of good fiction books to read, but so far here's my Summer 2012 Reading List:
1. Bloom: Finding Beauty in the Unexpected by Kelle Hampton
This is the story of a family whose 2nd daughter has Down's Syndrome. I have heard a lot of people talk about reading this and they have all greatly enjoyed it and been touched by it.
2. Orphanology by Tony Merida & Rick Morton
Lee actually has Dr. Merida as a professor and I got to meet him at a conference Lee attended.
This book teaches the how and why of caring for the orphans.
3. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World that Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
I saw a video where Susan Cain was speaking about being an introvert. It definitely caught my attention because I am an introvert and I feel that introverts are very often misunderstood.
I'm only number 220 on my library's waiting list for this book so I may not actually get to read it this summer.
So, I definitely need more books on my list. Do you have any good suggestions? What are some good books you've read? Have you read any of these?
