No grand post today, folks. I'm painting my own house here in Illinois. It's going to be 91 degrees outside, so we are getting an early start. I guess I'm just trying to have a little of the Snapdragon experience while I'm so far away.But on a literary note: my kids and I are putting together our summer reading lists. Have you made yours? Summer is a great time to turn off the TV, find some shade, and conquer that stack of books you've always wanted to read. I'm planning on reading North and South (British not Southern US) and Crash ( Jerry Spinelli- my 6th grader wants me to read it because as she says, "It's sooooooo good, Mom.")
What's on your list? If you need suggestions, there are great resources out there:
Your library
The American Association of Librarians website
Look up book award nominees: Newberry, Caldecott, Rebecca Caudill, Monarch etc..
Publisher's Weekly
Friends and family
Enjoy your summer reading. Maybe try some F. Scott Fitzgerald or some Ernest Hemingway in honor of our dear Max!
Have a great week!
Joy

I have a Hemmingway book sitting right next to me now! I was going to tear it apart and make something out of it (the cover is adorable) but now I think I'll read it first! Thanks Joy.
