Best Summer Read?

What was the best book your read this summer?

Made from Scratch: Discovering the Pleasures of a Handmade Life by Jenna Woginrich was mine. Woginrich decides to live a more simple existence. A web-designer by day and a homesteader in her spare time, she learns a few basic skills and rebels against out-of-control consumerism. The path to self-sufficiency isn't always easy, and what I appreciated most was that there were mistakes along the way.

My husband says his favorite read was Hawke by Ted Bell. It's the first in a series of adventures about Alex Hawke, a character similar to Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne.
