My Summer Reading List.

My summer reading list is also my spring, fall and winter reading list.  Ever growing.  Always a book or three that I want to dig into on top of the one I'm already reading.  It's probably a blessing in disguise that I can't read more than one book at a time, if I could, I might never finish one...

Few things beat a good book on a hot (or not so hot) beach day.  Throw in some fresh Bing cherries and you're got yourself an afternoon of reading and absentmindedly spitting cherry pits in a pile in the sand in front of you.  Before you know it hours pass in what feels like a matter of minutes...

What's on said reading list?  One of countless books:  Little Bee by Chris Cleave.

My most recent endeavor.

We don't want to tell you WHAT HAPPENS in this book.

It is a truly SPECIAL STORY and we don't want to spoil it.

NEVERTHELESS, you need to know enough to buy it, so we will just say this:

That is how the back of this book's cover reads.  Of course you're hooked - he doesn't tell you anything!  Who doesn't love an air of mystery?  I will not ruin the e v a s i v e nature of Cleave's summary but I will say this - get through the first 10 pages.  Once you get through them the book will grab you by the seat of your pants and take you on a RollEr coaSter ride.

While not based on a true story, the events that take place in the novel are meant to bring an awareness to ongoing issues.  It will break your heart and put it back together again.
