Reading - whether it's curled up under a cozy blanket by the fire, warm beverage in hand, as winter rages outside or, as is the case now, sitting outside with a cold beverage, enjoying the heat of summer, there is always a place for losing yourself in a good book.
And what better time than summer!
Summer is a time to slow down and refresh your mind and body. And what better way than a good summer read while the sun warms your skin and the breeze ruffles the pages. Not to mention sipping on an equally refreshing cold beverage - the writing of this list was accompanied by a deliciously chilly iced coffee!

Whether you visit your local library, borrow from friends, browse your local independent bookstore, or hit "Add to cart" at an online retailer, there is no shortage of joy and relaxation from reading. Check out one of the many titles above for a summer read, or a cozy winter read if you prefer, and you won't be disappointed.
