This summer I really held myself accountable to my summer reading lists (published here). I kept a printout of the covers above my desk for reference and checked off each as I completed it.

So, now for the overall reviews and recommendations from those I had chosen for the summer:

The Plot – 4.5 stars
Too Good to be True – 4.5 stars
Empire of Pain – 4.5 stars
Running with Sherman – 4.5 stars
The Last Thing He Told Me – 4.5 stars
My Brilliant Life – 4 stars
The Push – 4 stars
Greenlights – 3.5 stars
The Other Black Girl – 3 stars
While Justice Sleeps – 3 stars
The Phone Booth at the Edge of the World – 3 stars
Klara and the Sun – 2 stars

I also read some books “off the list” and the 5-star choices were:

Between Two Kingdoms
The Less People Know About Us
The Heart’s Invisible Furies
