THE BOOK DAYS OF SUMMER
Something I have been extra aware of this year, is making time for the simple things. It’s so easy to sit back at the end of the day and think of all of the things you wish you did during the day or want to do later that week. However, life gets so busy that if you aren’t conscious of your time it may just slip right on by. Something I really wanted to make time for this summer was reading. The thought of sitting out on the porch in the evening with a good book and a glass of iced tea or fresh lemonade sounds so relaxing. So that’s exactly what I have been making time for!
There is nothing like starting a good book. When you tell yourself that you will just read a couple chapters but the next thing you know you’re a quarter way through the book and you cannot, I repeat CANNOT put it down. Reading a good book is truly such a fun experience. I’ve been lucky to have read some really great reads the last couple of months so I thought I would share them with you here! Whether you’re in a book club or just reading for fun, I think you will love these!
Some books on my list: Then She Was Gone, The Nightingale, The Secrets You Keep, Forgotten Secrets, The Perfect Stranger, The End of Her, Local Missing Woman, and We Were Liars.
So now we have a good book lineup, you can’t forget to get yourself a cozy setup. I found some super cozy lounge sets that I have been living in lately. They have a few different colors, but of course I could not resist the pink. I have also been on the hunt for a hot water bottle, and found the perfect one! Instead of the classic square shape, I found a long rectangle that wraps around your entire body. Growing up I was always using a hot water bottle, I forgot how soothing they are! Last but not least, you can grab my freshly squeezed lemonade recipe here, so you can make yourself a yummy drink before you start to read!
I hope you enjoy the books I’ve been loving! If you have any recommendations send them my way, please & thank you!!!
