The Lists of Summer

Librarians should wear capes. Seriously, those Summer Reading programs with their tracking charts and colorful plastic prizes, who didn’t love those? Well, maybe non readers, aka troglodytes. Not sure if it was a love of reading or the lure of swag and imagined book glory. Regardless of the allure, the result was a love of reading, (and swag!). Nostalgia led us to attempt our own summer reading list.
Librarians make this stuff look so easy! Rolling up our sleeves, we shall  put our bookish noses to the grindstone to compose the perfect accidental sampling. 10 MUST READ SELECTIONS and what we've dubbed SUMMER SERIES.

There is a lot to be said for those fancy charts. Is this  something you learn in library school? 
 
Armed with a list we are usually a lot like drunks on a bender. In our attempts to procure books we've been known to buy and swap, request every available title from our libraries, troll used book stores and download mass quantities of electronic reading material. The TBR piles will grow, we will once again embrace our inner book hoarder. We will be book drunk. Sampling, dabbling, and occasionally abandoning titles in our ongoing quest to conquer the lists of Summer.

But like all binges there will be casualties. We may be sleep deprived and by mid summer a little pasty. But there is a chart to put stickers on and Swag to be had.

Let the book selections Begin!!
