This is our 9th year of swapping books for the summer, if you want an overview of the previous books we have swapped CLICK HERE. Basically, each summer we “assign” each other a book the other person has to read (no ifs and or buts about it!) & without their input. It may sound like torture but it’s a fun way to connect over books and expand your literary adventures. I hope you take up this special tradition of ours. It’s a fantastic opportunity connect to the people around you on a different level. We welcome the opportunity to step into each other’s (literary) worlds.
This year the book Will is making me read is Catch-22 & I am having him read History of the World in 6 Glasses.

P.S. although I think Catch-22 is truly a profound book written in the aftermath of two devastating world wars, it drove me nuts (which I think is totally the point). I had to finish it via audiobook or I was never going to get through it!
