Dogs Days of Summer.. | A Go-To Summer Reading List

i am not a part of book club, but do love the idea.  Our friend, Melisa, shared this list with me from her book club and it looks really good!  I am not sure i will ever get through all of these before there is a new list made, but why not try!  

i am finally almost done with The Goldfinch! It has taken me forever to finish it!  -
i have been too obsessed with Orange is the new Black Season 2 to knock it out!  


check this list out for some ideas for your next beach trip or staycation.

| happy summer reading |
