"Summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language."
-Henry James
Goodbye summer. *sniff* Picture a hammock between two large shade trees and me kicking up my feet with a good book. Okay, so I don't have a hammock, but I do love to pick out a handful of books at the beginning of summer to enjoy. Here are some of the novels I read this spring/summer, along with some children's books my kids and I enjoyed together:
THE COMMANDER'S DESIRE
Watch for an author interview I will be posting next Monday with Jennette Green, author of THE COMMANDER'S DESIRE.

Children's Books
With my kiddos (a few of the many great picture books we read together):
We love Karma Wilson's books! BEAR SNORES ON is my new favorite.
(Warm up your tongue before cracking this one open.)
Such a cute book. My two-year-old loved it!
For my horse lovers:
Here are three of the who-knows-how-many Pony Scouts books we read. We love them!
For my little one who just lost her first two teeth:
For my little Lion King lover:
A few others...
And to get us excited for school:
