Summer Reading Program

Have you made your summer bucket list yet? After Emily posted hers our family jumped on the bandwagon. On our bucket list is to join our libraries summer reading program. They have a program for children AND adults. I am so excited! The kids? Not so much. But they are excited about the goodies. The children's program is science based and every week that they read 20 minutes a day they get a prize. Then at the end they are entered into a drawing to get an even bigger prize. I am all for positive bribery. I am definitely not above it!

These kids LOVE the library! 

The kids signing their name on their pledge! Lola has been working so hard to learn her name and she is kicking butt.

Hearing this boy read makes me swell with pride! He had a really hard time learning to read. It has been a long row to hoe but we are on the better side of it now. 

Free books are the best books! Happy little faces.

Head on over to your local library and sign up for the summer reading program. It is a great way to hang on to some of the kids schooling over the summer. Plus it is free! Win-win.

  

Summer Reading List

I love to read. SO much! It gets to the point sometimes that I forget to do other important things because of whatever amazing book I am currently reading. Because of this slight character flaw I hardly ever read anymore. All because some sweet little cherub faced babies want to eat dinner every night. Geez, they are selfish! I am only joking people! I feed my kids every night but bathing them is debatable. That is all going to change this summer though! I have made up a little summer reading list for myself. I love summer reading lists. They are light and easy!

Here it is:

Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone

I love the Harry Potter series and I will force my children to love it too. We are going to read this one out loud everyday. They are not looking forward to this but I soooo am.

The Book of Life

This is the finale of a 3 part series by Deborah Harkness. It is an awesome! I can not wait for this book to come out this summer. It is witches and vampires and forbidden love. And I can't get enough.

Pride and Prejudice

I have read this a couple of times and I am happy to read it again. This is the version that I have and the cover is so charming. I can't get enough of it.

Love Letters to the Dead

I have heard nothing but good about this book. 

Divergent

I am thinking that this is a band wagon I should jump on!

#girlboss

Um need I say more? This book looks so good! What a rad chick!

Those are the six I am hoping to get to this summer. If I don't read all six that is okay and if I read more- even better! What books are on your list? I love recommendations! And fiction as you can see from five out of six of my selections. HA!
