July came in hot — literally. 🥵
I made a smaller stack this month, because most of my reading time is going to be with my kids. We have a library stack we’re working our way through before we get to the ones we own and planned for the summer, and I’m really looking forward to those.
Here’s what I’m hoping to read:
- The Name Game
- Caramelo
- One Summer in Savannah
- Laws of Love and Logic
- A Far-Flung Life — #readwithtoni
- The Coming Wave — #readtolearn
- The One Day You Were My Husband
- The Keeper
- The Children
- Heather
Not pictured (but very much on the list):
- Billy Summers — Stephen King
- The Book Witch — Meg Shaffer
- First and Forever — Lynn Painter
- Cece Downing’s Start Over Summer
I’ve made my peace with the fact that a monthly stack is more of a hopeful suggestion than a binding contract 😅 — the reading always bends around whatever the month actually holds. But I love setting the intention anyway, and I especially love that this summer so much of my reading gets to happen alongside my kids.
Which of these should I bump to the top? 💬
