Oh the Places You'll Go!
A summer reading collection
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
Bibliophiles know the challenge of packing 50% more books than needed for a trip, “just in case”. Whether in your own backyard or somewhere exotic, summer reading should be breath of fresh air. After the heaviness of the last months, let’s take a break with light and easy fiction: less drama and violence, more lovable characters and plots you can float through. Enjoy this collection of summer reading recs engaging enough to keep the pages turning and light enough for starting and stopping as your summer schedule allows.
