I love summers. For me, they feel much more relaxed than the frenetic pace of normal life.
They offer time to slow down, plan, dream, and…read.
For me, reading over the summer involves more fiction reading. Since it’s a season of relaxing and dreaming, fiction gives me a chance to think outside of my normal box and think creatively.
Not to mention that I love getting lost in a good story.
With that said, here’s my list.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7), by JK Rowling
The Hobbit, by JRR Tolkien
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, by JRR Tolkien
Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, by JRR Tolkien
Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, by JRR Tolkien
