Hot Summer - Cool Reads!!!

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/
