The list grew and morphed from a simple "Ten Books of Summer", into a themed mash up of magical adventures and stories set in other countries. Eventually, we cast aside parameters and let our book loving loose. The final selections are an eclectic mix of YA, fantasy, paranormal fiction, a few memoirs, some mystery and thrillers to round it out. We chose a few classics and two titles in honor of our beloved Maya Angelou.

I'm sure a few more books will be added as we move through Summer. But for now we've stop casting a net for stories and are enjoying the selections. It's like having the dessert cart rolled out and getting to pick as many tasty treats as you'd like, but even better because you're sharing them with a kindred spirit. I love hashing out the deets with Mouse after we've finished a book together. As wonderful as it is to get lost in a good book, it's even better to do it in tandem.
