What are you reading this summer? Have you read anything on this list (should I remove any before I even start?!)
one thing blog 
i am interested in the fiction on your list….i have read a lot this summer. my favorites so far are – the book thief (can’t remember the author) and some assembly required by anne lammot.
I read Sacred Parenting and LOVED it. Keith has read Meaning of Marriage and thought it was really good too. Good picks!
You can make recommendations any time Meliss! Love to hear about good reads.
