A summer reading list, that is!
And, I feel most fortunate that Holley and I have scooped a lot of these titles already. Especially in the case of Oprah's newest list. You know Oprah, right? Sure you do. Here's her list for summer.
Oh, and if you go here, you can conveniently download her bookmark with the list. There is also a schedule - seems more like summer school to me :0
Happy Reading!
