      Very Ambitious. Every year I say I'm going to re-read Atlas Shrugged, but it just doesn't seem to be a beach book. Maybe this year, since most of my beach friends are gone.

      I loved The Yellow House, it's a wonderfully well written historical novel. We read this for the Manic Mommies Book Club earlier this year (and discussed the book with the author, YAY).

      Looks like a wonderful collection of books for summer reading. Enjoy!
