So maybe this is a Summer and beyond reading list! Since I am still in school the thought of reading another book during the school year usually isn't a pleasant one. However, one of the things I look forward to the most in summer is catching up on my reading! To me, reading=relaxation, and I am pumped about that this summer! I am currently in the middle of numbers 3, 4, and 5 and they are all really great!! Radical is the book I am reading with my Bible Study this summer. We have just finished a year-long study of Isaiah that was really great and challenging, but mentally tiring. I am looking forward to a change in format to reading and discussing a book. I have heard wonderful things about Radical, and the first two chapters have proved to be so! It is a great book to begin after our trip to North Africa. The Moon and the Mango Tree is a novel set in the early 1900's in Siam (present day Turkey). It is told through the eyes of a newlywed girl whose husband just graduated from medical school and has been called to the mission field. Thanks Molly for the recommendation. It is a fun and light read! Cole and I are reading What Did You Expect? together with our Sunday School Class. It is teaching us a lot about marriage.

Have you read anything lately that you couldn't put down? Any must-reads? What is on your summer list? I would love to hear your recommendations!
