  1. aaahhhhhh, thank you for the book recommendations! I have been keeping a list from the local DFW Words and Wine group, for when I have time to read and read. These will definitely be added to that list!

    1. you’re very welcome! “Words and Wine” sounds fabulous! Wish I was closer so I could join! Let me know if you ladies come across a “must read” for me to add to my list too! I’m always looking for new titles. 🙂

  2. I love this list! I already own a couple of them and put some on my Kindle list. Now if only my “must read” list would turn into my “read that” list…

    1. I’ve gotten a lot of reading done this summer! Couldn’t seem to get everyone in sync for book club though. I think this has to do with the season. it’s summer and everyone just wants to read what they want to read 😉

  3. I know, I feel bad that we haven’t been able to get it done. I haven’t been able to get any reading in at all this summer. It’s just been that busy!! Things are slowly winding down soon though, and fall should bring a good change in my schedule again.

    1. No worries. I completely understand. Our house is a zoo in the summer. I guess book club is a reason to look froward to autumn and cooler weather! 😉
