Day 146: May 26, 2016 Best 2016 Summer Reading List

May 26, 2016      Best 2016 Summer Reading List
Day 146


Yesterday I asked Facebook Friends the following:

I would love to know some of your most favorite books that a student and adult would equally love. Let's begin a grand list! I will start with mine - "A Swiftly Tilting Planet" by Madeleine Angle. This is the list that followed. The compilers of the following suggestions are found at the end of this list.  You will note that I began with energy - I looked up the author's name to place alongside their work. But my energy waned and I am bone tiredl I leave it into your capable hands or I might get to it sooner or later. But for now - here we go! Summer reading is the best!
