books i want to read to finish out the summer

The summer has been extremely busy, and quite overwhelming if I'm to be honest. Reading (my constant companion) has been littered with dnfing up a storm- anything moderately uninteresting or boring GOES immediately.

Sorry not sorry.

I'm slowing working my way through War and Peace. I love Tolstoy so much, and his characters are so remarkable. So rich. So real. I don't think I am in the minority with this thought (though I may be), but I love even all of the war bits.

It's interesting to read alongside the Napoleon biography that I picked up. 

I am getting the itch to re-read as my life gets super busy in the heat of this summer. I'll allow myself to be pulled towards books I haven't read, and will reserve my favorite re-reads for the Fall when I am back in graduate school (unrelated in every single way from literature).

Here's what else I'm reading this summer...
