Summer time and the reading is easy…

by Icess Fernandez Rojas, posted in Blog


I am so excited about this summer. So super excited about it all. I plan on chilling on my porch with some cold ice water, listening to music, and enjoying the sweetness of a southern summer.

If you’ve never had the privilage of enjoying summer in the south, just know this…it’s hot. Like super hot, humid, and at times blistering. I enjoy all of that and then some.

So before the weather gets steamier, I’m putting together my summer reading list designed to not only help me grow as a writer but to enjoy my time on the porch.

Obviously, I’m looking for additional suggestions to USA Today’s Summer Books List and my Houston book club. (We’re reading Caridad Ferrer’s It’s Not About the Accent this month.)

So leave some suggestions in the comment section.
