What is it about summer and books that just seem to go together? My personal theory is that it goes back to my childhood and all of those trips to the library in the summer. Since we lived 15 miles from town, we couldn’t just pop over there whenever we wanted. So once a week, on Mother’s shopping day, my sisters and I would stock up with a new pile of books to take us on grand adventures and introduce us to fascinating characters who lived lives we only dreamed about.
As summertime rolls around each year, I start dreaming of endless days of lounging on the patio immersed in a book. Sadly, those days never materialize quite the way I envisioned them, but I do sneak in a few more hours each week enjoying my favorite pastime.
How about you? What are you reading? If you haven’t read The Hatmaker’s Heart yet, here’s a chance to get a taste for the world as it was in the Roaring Twenties.
And good news! My publisher is offering a free sampler of the first chapter not only of my book, but fifteen of their fiction titles across all genres. You may download the sampler to your e-reader or read it on Medium online. With all these options, what are you waiting for? I just got mine on the iBook option and have found a couple that I can’t wait to read. There’s a non-fiction sampler, too.
Happy Reading!
