Inexpensive Summer Reads

Summertime is here and hopefully that means more time for leisure activities ... like reading of course! But if you’re anything like me you can whip through a paperback in two or three days—which means reading can become an expensive habit. The good news is that many major publishers have gone the extra mile to give readers a wide variety of inexpensive books this summer.
