This is one of my favorite times of the year. The weather is nice, at least down here in south Texas it is, and the warm sun is a welcome friend after the winter’s cold. I start thinking of firing up the grill and eating outside. With all the approaching yard work and other chores summer will bring, I suggest you take advantage of the few weeks you have left before the grass starts really growing to read a few good books. That’s right, settle back with your Kindle, Nook, IPad, or just an old fashioned book and take your mind on an intellectual vacation, or perhaps simply on a flight of fantasy. Yes, once again we have just what you’re looking for: a superb selection of good books. Check out a few of the books mentioned above.
