What I Read On My Summer Vacation

Apparently, if I skip one day, then I skip them all. And then I stop posting altogether.

I did manage to start a book a day during my summer vacation, but I didn't finish them all. Actually, I probably did finish a book a day, but since I also kept reading other things, they weren't all from my unread bookcase. And often I finished late enough that I didn't take extra time to post.

But I do like my little blog, so I'm going to try to start updating again. To clear my head, I'm starting off with all the summer books I read without telling the world:

• North Winds Blow Free, Elizabeth Howard.
