Summer Must Reads!

I love spending my summer days at the lake or laying in the yard with a book. It’s nice to finally have the time to curl up with a good book! Even on rainy summer days, I like to sit near the window with my book, breathing in fresh summer air while I float off to another world. I’ve got several books in my to be read stack, but these are my top summer must reads!
