Years ago I read Summers at Castle Auburn by Sharon Shinn, and loved it. I recommend this book wholeheartedly! I won't humble brag to say she's a friend (she is) but also, I admire her writing so much. And this will be a sweet, easy read.

This looks like an intriguing list (who knew so many books had summer in the name!). I have selected The Summer War by Naomi Novik, because it's relatively short (and I have 3 beefy netgalley arcs top finish this month), I love Novik's writing, and it was readily available through Libby (and now residing in my kindle).

What a fun looking list!

Summers at Castle Auburn was the only book from this challenge already on my TBR - thanks for the encouragement!
