My Very Ambitious Summer Reading List

Ok, I'm laughing at myself because the ironic thing about this Summer Reading List is that my whole life is like one long summer! Ah, the sweet life of a "homemaker/stay at home mother" (not much actual 'homemaking' happening, to be honest)! Without further ado...

So, that's a whopping 35 books for 3 months (comes to about 2-3 books a week!). I'm already half-way through "Bodily Harm" and will no doubt finish it tonight. And, I've already started "How To Be Idle" which is a rather amusing book. And, no doubt, others will recommend books to me, and I'm pretty much game for anything (as you can see from the varied list), so I'll probably add those too!
