I opted to create my reading list for this summer on Pinterest. I like being able to see the covers and I think I’m more likely to add in start and finish dates as comments. I didn’t do a very good job of editing my post last year to add that information. I also didn’t stick to my list, but that’s summer reading for you!

That’s a great list! Think it’s a coincidence that we both have Overwhelmed and long lists? 😉

@Remy@MLISunderstanding Have you read Written in My Own Heart’s Blood yet? I have it but am afraid to start because I know it will end. Is that insane?
October is my month to pick for my book club and I haven’t selected anything yet. I desperately need lists like this. Thanks, Bobbie. I’ll be back to check out more from you soon. It’s great to connect with other booky bloggers!

“The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women” is on top of my list. I haven’t got the book yet but I am planning to grab one at the end of this month. After reading it, I am thinking to write a review on it too. Thanks for the great list, now I have more idea which books I should look into.
