At first we thought it would be a great idea to do a summer reading list, but the more thought that we put into it we thought it would be fun to start a reading book club. Even though we will be talking about the books, this will not take place of our other book reviews.

We are excited about giving our book club a try. We want you to be able to talk about the book we are reading openly. If you disagree about the book or how we feel about it, let us know. We are also looking for books that you think we should add to our reading list.

With that said, here is a list and a short summary of the books we will be starting with.
