Oprah's Summer Reading List and Ask the Authors

Today's forecast for St. Peters, MO: Partly cloudy, high 89 degrees. It was lovely at 6 a.m. this morning. The sun was out; birds were singing; the dew on the grass made my weed pulling not so bad.

Summer is a special time to enjoy birdsong and work in the garden, but it's also a great time to catch up on reading. If you're looking for a good read, check out www.oprah.com Oprah has published her reading list for 2009--books that you can't put down.
