Any suggestions?” or this: “Since I’m going away on co-op next term, I’ll have a lot of free time...

Summer Book Haul
I start school next Monday (and I move in tomorrow, which is an equally terrifying thought!), which means that my summer vacation is over. This summer, I volunteered at my local hospital, attended the Gentlemen of the Road stopover in Simcoe, and read. A lot. I meant to do July and August wrap-up posts including my book hauls...
