“This morning, I realize that it is August: the summer's last stand.” - Sara Baume
"...the heavy perfume of wild roses in early July and the song of crickets on summer humid nights and the rivers that run and the stars that rise and the rain that falls and all the good things that a good God gives."

July 30, 2018 (211/365) "The true measure of a summer well-spent is how many books you've read (and how many empty bottles are in your recycle bin)!" - N.C.
"How's your summer going?" -- It's a question that is often posed to educators who are "off" in the summertime. I have spent a lot of time at school, so one could argue that this hasn't been the greatest summer for me. However, a very wise friend has developed her own measure of a successful summer "break" that involves books and wine. By her accounting, 2018 has been quite a good summer for me. There has been a respectable quantity of rosé, unoaked Chardonnay, and lavender cider bottles in our bin throughout the summer and I have read several books -- so many that the "To Read" shelf of my Goodreads account is dwindling fast.
Here's the rundown of what I've read so far:
Historical Fiction: Call Me Zelda (Zelda Fitzgerald), The Aviator's Wife (Anne Morrow Lindbergh), Love and Ruin (Ernest Hemingway and Martha Gelhorn), My Salinger Year
Literary Fiction: The Lost Vintage, Paris by the Book, Currently Reading: Rules of Civility
Biography: The Bettencourt Affair: The World's Richest Woman and the Scandal that Rocked Paris, The Innovators: How a Group of Hackers, Geniuses, and Geeks Created the Digital Revolution (Sorry, Walter Isaacson, but I had to add the Oxford Comma missing in your title!), Leonardo da Vinci, Jackie, Janet, and Lee: The Other Side of Camelot
Short Stories: Uncommon Type (Tom Hanks)
Self-Improvement/Awareness: The French Art of Not Giving a Sh*t, Home Sweet Maison
Pewaukee High School Summer Reading Books: A List of Cages andThe Power of Moments
Any suggestions -- wine or books -- to make my summer even better?
