Summer’s in full swing, you’ve got your beach chair out, and you reach for a book from that pile you’ve been meaning to delve into all year. After trying to talk yourself out of it, you tell yourself, it’s summer so you can just kick back with a wonderful book and chill. Ah, the feeling of cracking that book open and settling into a great summer read…What makes a good summer read? Is it something that pulls you into the story so you forget the hotness of the sun on your skin? Or is it a book about something you’ve always wanted to learn?
It’s not too late! If you haven’t yet treated yourself to a good book this summer, take the plunge! What are YOU reading this summer? Tell us here for a chance to win Elizabeth Gilbert’s New York Times Bestseller Eat, Pray, Love. All you have to do is become a follower of my blog and post a comment about your summer reading (who, what, when and where?). I love browsing other people’s book shelves for reads I might not normally consider. A good book is too good not to share.
You might be telling yourself that summer reading is way too decadent an activity. Imagine lounging about reading! I couldn’t even imagine not doing so! You see, there’s something soul-cleansing and healing about allowing yourself the space to read for a period of time. Whether you read while away on vacation or take a vacation while reading, that briefest of respites allows you to come back to your other tasks refreshed and possibly with a new perspective.
I will draw one name on August 21st. You’ll still have time to receive this inspiring book AND read it by summer’s end.
