What time is it? Summertime!
It’s time
for flip flops, melting popsicles, and of course, summer reading! So, dive into
these cool summer books while you’re tanning at the beach, flying the blue
skies, or just sitting on your front porch sipping lemonade.
For The Plane and
Long Car Rides
Unfortunately, I easily get car
sick and can’t read on long car trips. Sigh, a book worm’s worst nightmare. So,
I am forced to listen to my father’s music of choice—the same 5 country song
over and over and OVER again. But, if you’re luckier than me and don’t get car
sick (and get to listen to something other than a song about a man and his
tractor) check out these travel-inspired novels to get even more excited for
your vacation!

At the Beach or the
Pool
My skin flops between two shades
throughout the year—white as a ghost and red as a lobster. At the beach and the
pool, my attempts at tanning typically end in disaster. But, for you lucky
ducks that can spend hours perfecting their summer tan, try out these fun,
light beach reads to pass the time (just try not to get them wet!).

Rainy Day
Rainy summer days can be
downright depressing. Add a summer storm that forces you to be stuck inside and
off the computer so you don’t get struck by lightening and you have got a
serious case of the summer blues. So, to match you’re somewhat sad mood, take a
look at these tear-jerkers!
