Because the to-be-read pile looms large, both in physical books and in electronic books, I’ve created by own accountability post to keep me on track this summer.

I’m way behind.

Way . . . way . . . behind.

As proof, check out this list of books I meant to read in 2017 and didn’t.

Guess how many I’ve read as of midway through 2019? Go ahead, hazard a guess.

Three. Of the ten books I listed, I’ve since read three.

Then there’s NetGalley with thirty-eight books awaiting my attention.

The books I’ve won.

The books I’ve agreed to review.

The classics.

And, oh! The ones my kids have begged me to read.

In no particular order, here are my self-proclaimed “must reads” for the summer:

• Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder
• Star Wars Ahsoka by E.K. Johnston
• Kidnapped by Robert Louis Stevenson
• Where There’s Smoke by Susan May Warren
• Finding Grace by Laura Pearl
• Dying Every Day: Seneca at the Court of Nero by James Romm
• There You’ll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones
• Mercy’s Prince by Katy Huth Jones
• Joan of Arc by Mark Twain
• How the Light Gets In by Jolina Petersheim
