Well, for me, summer is a time of learning to catalog, starting my peer mentor experience (welcome, new LIBR 203 students!), working at my public library, and parenting. Not much time for leisure reading, so my books are on the shorter side this summer. Here are some titles from my bedside table:<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Just finished: <b>The Walking Dead Volume 14: No Way Out<\/b> by Robert Kirkman<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; font-family: inherit; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-1yDQggFFQsA\/Ti3HjTqdOTI\/AAAAAAAAAEM\/h-Zi7YbVdFk\/s1600\/walkingdead.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-1yDQggFFQsA\/Ti3HjTqdOTI\/AAAAAAAAAEM\/h-Zi7YbVdFk\/s1600\/walkingdead.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Every time a new volume of this graphic novel series is published, I read it in a single sitting.

The book is practically wordless, yet countless stories are told through Berner\u2019s keen attention to detail and colorful illustrations of people, places, and community events that take place over the span of a year.

This was the only Eloise book I read as a child, and I am not a fan of the newer material. (I don\u2019t think Kay Thompson would be, either). My copy is tattered and torn and missing the dust jacket, but it still occupies a prized spot on my bookshelf. I hope one day my daughter will cherish it as much as I still do.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summertime is a time to relax, enjoy the outdoors, bask in the sunshine, take a vacation, and all that fun stuff, right?
