Summer in Review Part 2: Books!

If you were to chart my summer activities hour by hour, I can guarantee you that the top three items would be working, sleeping, and reading.  When I was wandering about Traverse City during the Cherry Festival, I made it my goal to find and purchase a John Green book in the name of science and Nerdfighteria.  It had been months since I’d set foot in a bookstore, and the intoxicating smell of paper and ink, the thrill of browsing the shelves for just the right book, and the anticipation of the hours of reading that awaited me within its pleasantly weighty pages instilled in me a kind of fever.  Over the next three months I bought and read as many books as I could find.  If there’s one thing I love more than reading a good book, it’s letting other people know about it so that they can read it, too, so below you’ll find a list of the books I bought/read this summer with a concise review for each.  Enjoy!
