Summer Reading – Light

July 17, 2011 by still a dreamer

Have you ever found that no matter what book you pick up it still isn’t really the one you want to read right now?

I’ve started 3 books recently, and although each one is excellent, it isn’t the one I really want to read right now. Too dramatic, too wrenching, too informational, too … too … too. So maybe it’s time for summer reading … light. (Or if one wants to be on the current bandwagon of slang – lite.) I see summer reading lists all over the place, and the recommendations tend to be towards lighter, faster reads – lots of mysteries and less demanding stories written to entertain. Who am I to buck a current trend?

So I turned to my Library Book Sale haul to look for “light”, and selected this – The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares. I had rented the movie, and it was entertaining. I see there are a few others up there that won’t drain my very soul, so maybe this is the way to go for the rest of the summer. We shall see. And if in need of a fast moving mystery, the library’s only a 1/2 mile walk away.  What have you found for your summer reading?
