It’s here. Summertime is FINALLY here. After dealing with COVID and cicadas, we deserve a break and a summertime getaway through books!
Whether you are working or taking some time at the family cabin, you can take some time this summer to crack open some books! My recent obsession has been buying every book I can. Will I read them? Probably not, but I do love how colorful covers can be!
As a member of the Mid-Michigan Moms Book Club, I love hearing and sharing book recommendations. Where did a book recently take you? I would love to know!
