Get Ready for Summer Reading Giveaway Series, week 1
Hello friends! Who’s ready for summer? I am! My kids are wrapping up their schoolwork for the year, and the temperatures are rising a little more each day. I can’t wait for lazy pool afternoons, long bike rides, and endless popsicles.
And to celebrate the coming of summer, we are hosting a “Get Ready for Summer Reading Giveaway” series during the month of May. I’ve got some wonderful books to giveaway, one each week for this month. We’ll have a little something for everyone, so make sure to keep your eye out for new giveaways going on all month long.
To kick things off, today I’m bringing you the newly released Becoming Us, by one of my all time favorite authors, Robin Jones Gunn.
If you’ve followed The Gingham Apron for long, you have probably read all about how much we love Robin’s books. My daughters and I have been so blessed by her Christy Miller series, and you can read all about those here.
And now Robin has written a new book called Becoming Us. Becoming Us picks up a few years after where the Christy & Todd Baby Years books left off, bringing back many of Robin’s best-known characters including Christy and Sierra. It also introduces new characters to tell a story of finding community as a woman and young mom and tackling soul-deep issues alongside each other. Readers who grew up with Christy Miller and her friends will love that her story is continuing into marriage, motherhood and building friendships with others in a similar season.
My daughter, Olivia, and I have been reading this delightful book, and we love it so much. True to form, Robin Jones Gunn explores some of life’s hardest topics such as moving, finding community, and managing family relationship in an honest, hopeful way. The characters are so realistic and the plot is intriguing. Even if you’ve never read the Christy Miller books, you’ll love this novel and I know you’ll enjoy reading it this summer. That is, if you can wait that long to dive in!

With the heat of summer, I like to read in a comfy chair indoors in the air conditioning!
I think at the kitchen table or my bed at bedtime!
I love to do my reading in the backyard at a glass table with metal and fabric high chairs!
My favorite place any time of year is my rocking chair by the window.
My favorite place to read is in bed at the end of the day (or in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep!).
My favorite place to read is my cozy reading corner…a squishy chair, warm blanket, candles and cup of tea. Perfection.
I would love to begin my summer reading with Becoming Us. I love to read in my easy chair, or on the patio, or in my bed.
