Summer is a great time to travel even if you can’t go far! Sometimes the best places are right under your nose. Take a trip around your hometown pretending to be a tourist. Book a tour, take a class, book a date night and take advantage of the season!
Enjoy the beautiful weather and relax by digging into a great book. Looking for a summer read? You can download one of summer's most anticipated books, Emma in the Night by Wendy Walker, for free, before it hits the shelves.
One night three years ago, the Tanner sisters disappeared: fifteen-year-old Cass and seventeen-year-old Emma. Three years later, Cass returns, without her sister Emma. Her story is one of kidnapping and betrayal, of a mysterious island where the two were held. But to forensic psychiatrist Dr. Abby Winter, something doesn't add up. Looking deep within this dysfunctional family Dr. Winter uncovers a life where boundaries were violated and a narcissistic parent held sway. And where one sister's return might just be the beginning of the crime.
Emma In The Night is a unique, touching and thought-provoking story that will keep you on your toes; you’ll never expect the ending! Get your free download here!
(BookShout.com and the BookShout app are compatible with your smartphone, tablet, desktop computer, and the Kindle Fire HD.)
Summer is all about being outdoors, so put on your favorite swimwear, find a pool, lake or beach near you, and jump in!
Summer nights can be equally as lovely as summer days. Find a nice spot (if you’re in a city you might want to find a location that offers a darker sky), lay out, and gaze away. If you’re interested in all the star names and constellations you can download an app like SkyView or Sky Guide that will tell you exactly what you’re viewing.

I plan to spend the rest of my summer reading and enjoying time at the pool.
I'll be working, going to my daughter's play performance, and trying to make time for other activities!!
In fl it's always summertime, so ill stay inside w/the a/c & chill. I burn too easily
I will spend my summer with my fiancee, crafting like crazy, and praying my ill grandmother gets better
I plan on spending it relaxing and enjoying the time with my husband and french bulldog
Mostly staying at home. I want to catch up on some crafts. I did calligraphy as a child and I want to start doing it again to make my own cards and also to dress up store bought cards. I will also be painting with acrylics and making things with pressed summer flowers.
I discovered paddleboarding this year with my sister and brother in law! So I'll be trying that out.
My summer will be working in the garden and having my family and friends over to the pool best part I can relax and enjoy reading post on she speaks and discussing interesting topics I find on this website...
Love spending time outdoors with my family, gardening, helping my dad on his farm.
I really don't have any plans for the summer but to enjoy the sun at home.
The rest of my summer will be spent with family in our yard by our pool!
working in my flower beds and enjoying the fruits from my garden
Using the pool, during the day to beat the heat. Sitting outside in the evening and read, listening to music, or talking to my nice neighbors ( I got lucky).
up north at friend's cabin, having a family picnic, attending family reunion, going to the zoo
Play with my kids. Camp, visit the French quarter. Try to stay cool as possible
