The art of Summer reading

What is it about Summer that just brings out the reader in everybody? Even if you read all the time as I am prone to do Summer just escalates the desire. I suppose it's because it's the lazy season and lying about with a good book after all that Spring gardening is so very appealing. And even though I have a small pile waiting for me to get to I still felt I needed to get some "Summer" books

so off to Alibris I went and went a little order happy since I can't help myself. Some new stuff, some old stuff that I had never gotten around to and a great find, "The Garden of Reading" recommended by Jen which is a must for every reader who gardens or every gardener who reads. First, to figure out where to sit and enjoy.

the chaise in the room with the books? No, need to go outside

the wine barrel chairs I bought Frank for his birthday for me? No, while incredibly comfortable, really! not for lounging and reading. I know; the porch

drat, taken. Maybe I can entice him to move

OK, now we're talking. So where do I start? Oops new arrivals.

Decisions, decisions.
