Sara asked on the Teaching in Higher Ed Facebook group:<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s on your summer reading list?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

At first, it felt like she was asking just me, but I realized that she was probably asking everyone in the group. I think I got overly excited, initially, for two reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It has been a while since I felt giddy about writing a blog post and writing about the books I have been reading inspired me.<\/li>\n
  2. I have always loved summer reading programs and posts and thought it would be fun to contribute to conversations like that.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When I was a kid, I used to sign up for every reading group I had access to in the summers. At the Carlsbad library<\/a>, I remember we got to have some sort of paper creatures (fish, animals, etc.) that would appear with our names on them each time we read a book and shared it with the library. It was so fun for me to see evidence of the stories that had so captured my imagination during that season in such a visible and colorful way.<\/p>\n

    In this post, I\u2019ll share some recent books that I think should be on your summer list. Finally, I will let you know what I am hoping to read this summer.<\/p>\n

    Recent Reads<\/h2>\n

    I have enjoyed many of the books I have read recently<\/a>. Any of these would make for great summer reading for those in higher education.<\/p>\n
