Summer Reading

Like Jessie suggested, I think it is a great idea to share what we have read over the summer.  My summer was pretty wild - if you want to know more, you can read my blog, but to summarize, we found out in June that we were moving in July to Colorado Springs. 

It has been a wild ride, but my little family is finally getting settled.  However, even amongst the chaos, I have been reading like crazy :).  In fact, one of the first things I did when we got here, was get my library card.  So, here is what I read this summer:
