Sharlene (swegner) | 374 comments I will sign up. I want to read books that have a summer theme. I have Susan Mallery's books from last year & this year, the Beach House #9 series by Christie Ridgway, I guess I can count Lisa's Friday Harbor books, of which I only read the first Christmas book.I am sure I have some others that fit in the category, but that is 12 books so far! I also have some other books to read that are in series I have started, but not necessarily a summer theme. I need a kick start!
