It’s Summertime and the Reading is Easy…

It’s Summertime and the reading is easy. Summer is the best time of year for book lovers, whether on the beach, on a long transcontinental flight, the car, or a lounge chair by the pool, we look forward to curling up with a delectable book. I still prefer “real books”, but I have slowly transitioned to a Kindle. I do appriciate the anonymity of reading an e-reader book, one that you may not want your seat mate to see ie. Fifty Shades of Grey, and the ease of traveling without having to carry a stack of books. I still occasionally splurge on beautiful coffee table books and art books. My list is varied and perhaps there is something that will peak your interest.
