Last month when I attended W.E.L.L.

4 BOOKS YOU SHOULD BE READING THIS SUMMER

Summer reading. There was a time in my life that these two words together made me want to sneak out the window and run away to the community pool. Followed by a trip to the library for a SparkNotes version of whatever books I was supposed to be reading, of course.
