Summertime! And time for reading whatever, wherever.

Welcome to the Crofty Readers blog! I'm so happy you're going to join us as we read and discover new books and authors... and have some fun together.

Summer book club will kick off with PIZZA and book selection on JUNE 12 from 6:30-8:00 at my house. I hope you can come, but if you can't that's okay! You can still be part of the reading and chatting by following this blog. Plus, you can leave comments to talk with me "virtually" or send me an email using the "Contact Tori" box on the right. I'm excited that we can all keep in touch this way!

Can you believe it's almost summer already? Seems like just a minute ago we were all going bananas because of so many snow days. It's hard to even remember all that time cooped up indoors. Oh wait, no...I remember it now. I didn't love it.

But now the sun is shining! The birds are singing, the peeper frogs are peeping. The days are longer. My vegetable garden is planted and the flowers are blooming. Soon we'll be chasing fireflies and eating marshmallows around a backyard campfire. Swimming! Camping! Biking! Traveling! So much to look forward to.

What I look forward to most about summer, though, is the relaxed schedule. More time to do what I want to do. Summer is a great time to read whatever you want to read. In fact, I take a book with me wherever I go -- park, shopping, road trip, baseball game -- because there's always down time.

We make a point of visiting the library every Friday, too, and we usually leave with a stack of books to wander through. You can join the summer reading club at our local library to earn prizes. Here's a huge list of lists of great books to read, too.

So tell me, where's your favorite place to read? Are there any books that you're looking forward to reading this summer?

Leave me a note my clicking "Add a comment" below and I'll write you back -- and be sure to only use your first name (this is the internet, after all).
