ADR Summer Reads
After a fair bit of thought and ADR-esque existential debate, I've decided to pause the blog for July and August to focus my energies on: (1) finishing novel #3 ; and (2) attacking my beckoning bedside book stack.
I will return to the blog in September when it's time to gear up for another school year (at the ripe old age of 36, I still feel myself moving to the rhythms of the academic calendar), but I wanted you to leave you with my (admittedly ambitious) list of ADR Summer Reads (and re-reads and recommendations). I have included links to Amazon, B&N and IndieBound for each in the event that you want to purchase any of these beauties yourself.
