My Favorite Books of the Summer

 

Well, can you believe it? Summer is over, kids are back at school, and the beaches are nice and quiet. And with that, the Summer Kickoff Feature has come to an end. I hope you got some great ideas for which books to pack with you on vacation and take with you to the pool or beach.

I wish I could say I am gearing up for fall, but we are having a heat wave in Pennsylvania right now. We visited Cooperstown, New York before Labor Day Weekend and it felt like fall, but back here in PA, it feels like summer. I may have to squeeze in one more summer book before this heat wave is over, but until then, here are my favorite books of the summer. If you are interested in reading my
reviews of the books, you can find them here.
