Summer Reading ... FOR FUN

I normally refrain from quoting an author unless I can trace the exact origin of the quote, but I found this one quoted on some 20 or so somewhat reputable websites:  

Margaret Haddix and Hannah in 2012

“I was lucky enough not to face any required summer reading lists until I went to college. So I still think of summer as the best time to read for fun.”― Margaret Peterson Haddix  

Here is a link to a video interview about READING with Margaret Peterson Haddix    Her Latest Novel -  Full Ride -- Becca’s claim to fame is one she’s been hiding from for the past three years: Her father is a notorious embezzler, and when he was caught, his excuse was, “How else is a guy like me supposed to put his kid through college?” ... But as college—and its cost—looms large, Becca begins to wonder how they’ll afford it.  -- from the publisher
