Now that I am graduated and don't have any homework to do, I am trying to do some reading in my freetime! One of my favorite places to read in the summer is out by the pool in the warm sun with a LaCroix and some fresh grapes! So I did a little looking and got together a list of 8 books that you should add to your poolside reading list.
Enjoy!
