Summer Reading Challenge over at Seasonal Soundings

I used to always take part in all the Reading Challenges at Seasonal Soundings, one of my favorite book blogs.

I'm still on my "summer of all things lovely" book list but I encourage you to join, it is lots of fun! I think there is still time.

I have been very lax at reading many blogs this busy spring. I'm catching up while doing sofa time.

Just mosey on over... here.

Summer Reading Challenge

Here is my list for the Summer Reading Challenge, sponsored by Seasonal Soundings. Check out the Seasonal Soundings blog for a list of participants (and other good book ideas!).

My summer reading is almost always the lightest I do throughout the year. This summer I've decided to reread the Time Trilogy (and perhaps add the fourth book in the series if I have time).

I'm also finally visiting Provence via Peter Mayle with three of his books. Leota's Garden is a book I started and then let my husband read last summer. I'm finally getting back to it. So many people I know have said it is a great book.

I purchased The Sunday Philosophy Club at a book sale and set it aside for summer reading, along with Galileo's Daughter.

My son was recently in a homeschool drama of The Scarlet Pimpernel...thus the addition of that classic. The Wiersbe and Donihue books are for spiritual food!
