Review: Dear Fahrenheit 451

What I'll Be Reading This Fall

It's the first official day of Fall and I couldn't be happier. Fall is by far my favorite season, especially here in Virginia. The hot and humid days of summer are behind us. The mornings are crisp. The evenings are cool. The leaves are beginning to change color. Pumpkins and mums are making their appearances on front porches. I love it all, especially when you add books into the picture. I love reading in Fall. Night time comes a little sooner, which means I find myself curled up on the couch with a blanket and book a little sooner. It's wonderful. With the welcoming of Fall, I thought it would be fun to gather together in one place all the books I hope to read this Fall. I've divided what I'll be reading into two categories, MMD's Book Club picks and my personal picks. Bring on the books! (All book covers are linked to Amazon for more information.)

What I'll Be Reading This Summer

I know for most of the country, summer is in full swing, and has been for quite a while now, but for me and my kiddos, summer starts today! I am so glad to finally be done with school. Bring on summer. And bring on summer reading! There's nothing like summer reading, whether it's reading by the pool or at the beach, or just reading on a blanket in my backyard. I thought it would be fun to gather together in one place all the books I hope to read this summer. My stack may be a little ambitious, considering how busy our summer is this year, but why not aim high, right? I've divided what I'll be reading this summer into four categories, MMD's Book Club picks, MMD's Summer Reading Guide personal picks, MMD's 17 Books Everyone Will Be Talking About This Summer personal picks and my personal picks. Bring on the books! (All book covers are linked to Amazon for more information! I've read a few already. Those I've read, I provide a (super) short review.)
