The Summer Reading List

“The Summer Reading List”

It is time to start thinking of the summer reading list. I usually read voraciously in the summer, so I need a good number of books sitting by, waiting to be opened. Usually my summer reading consists of a number of “beach reads” since I want to stop and jump in the water every once in a while. I also use this time to read ahead a few months on my book clubs list of reads.

I have listed last years Brilliant Women’s Book Club reads for your summer reading pleasure. It contains a variety of different types of books, so I am sure you will find one on this list that you will like.

Over the next few weeks, I will give you a few of my favorite books from this list. I really was going to give you my all time three favorite books, but I just don’t think I can do that because I like too many. I also know that there is more out there that will become one of my favorites for a while.

Here is the list.

Caleb’s Crossing by Geraldine Brooks

The Story of Beautiful Girl by Rachel Simon
