Happy Labor Day – the weekend I publish my summer reading reviews. This summer, I held myself accountable to my summer reading list (published here). As usual, 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 Wager – 4.5 stars
The House is on Fire – 4.5 stars
Small Mercies – 4 stars
Happy Place – 4 stars
Romantic Comedy – 4 stars
Did You Hear about Kitty Karr? – 4 stars
The Soulmate – 3.5 stars
Saturday Night at the Lakeside Supper Club – 3.5 stars
All My Knotted Up Life – 3 stars
Babel – Abandoned (magical realism)

I also read a bunch of books “off the list” with NO 5-stars. Bummer summer.
I’m always in need of good recommendations, so if you read anything amazing this summer, let me know! Happy school year!
