Summer Reading List 2015

Now that my favorite TV shows are on summer break it’s the perfect time for me to catch up on my reading. I’m not sure if I’ll get through my entire list because of the pull of sunshine, kids, and no homework, but it’s worth a try. So grab your iced cold lemonade or chilly sweet sangria and enjoy!

Here’s what’s on my Summer Reading List 2015. There is something for everyone: Celebrities, humor, romance, adventure, mystery, sci-fi, writing tips, and our favorite girls in prison (OITNB). What’s on yours?

    I always like a list! Thanks. I have been stuck in 20th century so to get out I have a stack including Sarah Vowell’s books, Anne Hillerman and one I will listen to, back to WWII “the Boys in the Boat”

    Now this is just too funny. In the summer I catch up on all the shows I’ve missed! with my two home from college we sit down together and binge. However having said that, I do love to read. And the one book that I’ve read on your list? The Rosie Effect. LOVED it. Mentioned it on twitter and Graeme boomed right back with a witty reply in the voice of the main character. Such a gem.

    I am very excited for Harper Lee’s Go Set A Watchman to come out this week. To Kill A Mockingbird has always been one of my all-time favorites so I can barely contain myself right now 🙂 Thanks for sharing via #MidLifeBloggers.

    Hi- Met you at BlogHer15 last week and got your card, and when I went to check out your blog today, realized I’ve read it several times. We both love to read, too! I have a page with all the books read in the past 2 years – the hard part is remembering to take a photo of them or write the names down before returning them to the library for more books. It was nice to meet you!

Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light o Thrilled for this piece to finally see the light of day on @thegirlfriendletter. And a hearty thanks to @profwendywood, author of Good Habits, Bad Habits, for her words of wisdom. I wrote this back in February, before Covid threw us all a curveball. One thing that I realized is that whether or not we’re in quarantine, many of our basic human traits remain the same. Once a perfectionist, always a perfectionist...until I learned that that mindset was actually holding me back. Love to hear your thoughts.

My favorite time to read is in the morning when I first wake up, when I’m still cozy in bed. How about you? #untamed #glennondoyle #readingforpleasure #readinginbed #readingwomen
