Hot Summer - Cool Reads!!!

Picture
Summer time is a great time to relax on the porch swing or by the pool with a book.  Reading just 15-30 minutes each day will keep your reading skills up to date. 

I just recently finished "Abduction" and "Runaway Twin" by Peg Kehret.  She will definetly keep you hooked especially if you like a mystery.  http://www.pegkehret.com/
