Want a list of great books for summer reading?
|
Who has time to read boring books? Summer is a great time for rejuvenation and relaxation, which, in my case, involves tons of reading. I plow through three or more books a month. But I don't enjoy reading poorly written, uninteresting books. So, I often choose reader-recommended novels and am rewarded with hours of calm escape and entertainment. Would you like to see the LIST OF NOVELS I RECOMMEND? I will only include the books I found riveting or those written by skilled authors whose prose and plot I savored like a gourmet meal. And, in case you're a prolific reader, I'll give you the link to my Pinterest Board, "Books to Read," for a bounty of books from which to choose. Again, only the ones that elicited a, "Man, I wish I could write like that!" response made it onto the Pinterest Board. (I'm writing a novel and now reading has become both a blessing and a time for self-reproach. :)
BELOW IS A LIST OF BOOKS I RECOMMEND:
Can't get enough? Click on the following link to go to my Pinterest board, "BOOKS TO READ." BUT I'M ON A BUDGET! You can still read if your finances are limited.
