It's just about here. Summer! The best time of the year to grab a good book, a blanket and head to the park with your kids. Or grand kids. Or dogs. Or whatever. But you get my point. So help me out, Stephen King has said that if you don't have time to read, you don't have time to write. So help me re-fill my bucket so I can start a new book. I need a bunch of good books to inspire me. I want it all! So give me some suggestions on books that you love, that you go back and re-read, that inspire you, that turn a bad day into a good one. Give me one book that you love. If you're on an island, shipwrecked of course, and you can only take one (non-religious) book with you, what would it be? I'm not really into the depress me until I can't stand it any longer and then pull out a good ending at the very end. Blech. Sorry, I know a lot of people love those books. I don't mind a little tragedy here and there, but for the most part, if I'm going to spend a precious hour (or 2) on a book, it better be a vacation. I'd much rather be in Hawaii than the arctic. Although, I do love biographies and non-fiction too. I like to learn and grow, I just don't want to get depressed over it. Help me out!

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
I've seen the movie, but I haven't read the book. Good suggestion.
I haven't read half of these! This will keep me busy. Thanks!
You will love it! I borrowed it from the library and then purchased it so I could own in. Just thought of another one that was SO good called Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson. Here's a link to the fb page https://www.facebook.com/beforeigotosleep.us
I literally could not put this book down! Happy reading!
Thanks Susan! I'll check that one out asap. Sounds amazing.
