summer is the best for reading and i definitely have a pile of things i want to read this summer. for the first few weeks i will not be reading about homeschooling or even parenting. the first books in line are…

i am almost done with this, but i want to go back through it. it is really challenging. there’s this whole chapter on work that is rocking my brain. i feel like there are so many different ideas i want to implement that i may have to do one or two at a time and then go back and read again.

i love barbara kingsolver. her novels are so much fun. she does, however, sometimes take an otherwise perfect novel to a strange place with her political undertones. i’m all about some nonfiction political history (a recent favorite being a problem from hell, by samantha power). i just like to keep my genres separate, which is very UNpostmodern of me, i know. anyway, this will be different because it’s nonfiction…her family’s story about sustainable living. i’m excited to see how they did it.

i read that this is haven kimmel’s favorite novel, so how could i not love it?

my book club is reading this for june. i don’t know much about it, but i always enjoy a memoir…someone’s story.

a friend just passed this along to me today…i always love a recommendation from a fellow reader.

happy reading and happy summer…
