Reading has always been one of my favorite pastimes, and one of the perks of pandemic life is that I’ve had plenty of time to slow down and get lost in a good book again. Summer is THE BEST time to put a dent in that reading list… plenty of lazy weekend mornings available for sleeping in and enjoying a juicy book! I enlisted the help of my fellow Houston mamas, and together, we’ve come up with the perfect summer reading guide. There’s something here for everyone!
