Summer is the best time to open those books that you bought over a year ago swearing you would read but never did. As a kid, we all thought of summer reading as a dreadful task teachers would give because they thought we had nothing better to do with our time. But ultimately they thought we would enjoy it as kids...wrong! Now that I am older, I have found a new appreciation and love for reading books in my spare time. With so many new and upcoming authors out there, there are so many different books to choose from. Here is a list of books that anyone can enjoy this summer!
