I’ve had such a lovely summer, and with my kids back to school as of yesterday, it’s officially over. I can’t say that I’m crushed. Too much of a lovely thing makes it begin to seem ordinary. We are ready for a change.
School is in, but my activities aren’t starting up yet, so I’m actually anticipating a week or two of some prime reading time (and I even hope to watch a few movies too — on DVD or in the theater).
What about you? Do you want to share your summer reading successes? Or perhaps you want to let us know your goals for this next month. Either way, we’d love to hear it! Getting this monthly encouragement from other readers, or getting inspired by their lists is a great way to spend the 4th Tuesday of each month.
Link directly to your blog post, or if you don’t have a blog let us know about your month in the comment field.

Hooray for heading back to school! I hope you get a little bit of down time to read before things speed back up. :O)
Enjoy a week of heavy reading. What fun!
It’s nice to have a little breathing room before your other activities start up, and what better way to spend it than reading! Thanks for providing this readers’ get-together once a month.
I always enjoy this blog hop and getting ideas for reading….I’ll be back later today with a post, hopefully.

Prime reading time sounds heavenly! Enjoy!
This has been a fun reading month for me – hoping things continue once school is back in session!
It was a slow reading summer: too many other things going on. Now that we’re back in the swing of school, our reading pace has resumed.
Well I just finished reading Dustin Pedroia’s memoir. Next up in new fiction is Future Boston, followed by a re-read of Little Woman. For kids books I’m enjoying Catie Copley, and for historic works, USS Constitution after that, maybe some Todd McCaffrey.
As always, thanks for hosting. I’ve really appreciated the recommendations made through this blog!
