Summer Reading

I have noticed quite a few of my blogger friends (Penny, Busy Bee Suz just to name a few) are looking for some good summer reads. So am I! I love curling up in the log cabin with a good book, vanilla scented candle lit, my cat Marvin in my lap and some light jazz playing in the background. Also in this scenario Greg would be pouring me a glass of wine and feeding me dark chocolates - but he already told me I'm pushing it with the dog thing - ha!

What are your recommendations for some good summer reading?




One of my favorite books is "Reflections of a Life Up North" by Deborah Wyatt Fellows. This book features stunning photography of Nothern Michigan and a collection of articles, columns and letters that Deborah wrote about the joys of the seasons, a magical childhood, lakes, fishing,card games and all those things that make north country a great place to live and vacation at.



Some of my other summer choices:

• "Fowl Weather" or "Enslaved by Ducks" by Bob Tarte. Both true and funny stories - perfect for animal lovers.
• Interested in life in Alaska? Then try "If you lived here, I'd know your name" by Heather Lende. True story of a writer in Alaska - funny and sad.
• Staying in my Alaska theme - a great story about a self-sufficient man named Dick Proenneke - "One Man's Wilderness." I have read this book about 10 times. The documentary is great too!
• Feeling in the nature, reflective, deep thoughts mode? How about the classic "Walden" by Henry David Thoreau.

P.S. I was thinking about organizing a book swap between a group of us bloggers. Let me know if you're interested and if we get enough people, I will set it up!
