Books for this summer

Historical Fiction & Biographies

I love to read. Ideally, there is a nice bubble bath, a plate of cookies, and a very cold glass of milk. The hot water is running very slowly so that it never gets cold and there are absolutely no interruptions.

My favorite genres are historical fiction and biographies. The list above is a list I keep so that I can remember what books I’ve already read. I’ve been know to pick up a book and realize a few chapters in that it seems so familiar because I’ve already read it.

This summer I’m hoping to finish Kisses for Katie. I know I’m probably the last person on earth to read it, but I know I’m going to love it. I’m on chapter 3 and I have yet to make it through a chapter without crying.

One of my college roommates is a kindred spirit when it comes to books. She just sent me My Sisters the Saints and I can’t wait to read that one, either.

Do you have a favorite genre? Are there any books that I should add to this list?

Have a great week!

Kate

  2. The Red Tent is great! And of course The Help is great too!

  3. So glad you are getting to read. It is one of my dreams that we all love reading.

  4. I need to make a complete list of all the books I’ve read. Your list has some of my favorites on it. Especially To Kill a Mockingbird, The Help, and The Glass Castle. It seems we have similar tastes so I’m going to jot down your list. I have yet to read a book this summer. I’ve started a few and couldn’t hang with them which is very unusual for me. Thanks for the prompt.
