No summer would be complete without several good reads under my belt. 

I had hoped to get this to you much sooner, but better late than never!

I have compiled a list of  15 Summer Reading Books. This will be list #2.

Last summer, I did the same. You can read Summer Reading  List #1 HERE.

It's a long list. These are perfect for now or throughout the year!

We are getting ready for another week at the beach. One last hoorah before my daughter starts 11th grade and my son starts his freshman year of college. I plan to unplug as much as possible, enjoy that last week before school starts and READ!

rumor

The Rumor

I've read I think everything by Elin so I can't miss this one.

 

janegreen

Summer Secrets

I really enjoy Jane's books as well. Similar to Hilderbrand.

 

luckiest girl alive

Luckiest Girl Alive is for those readers that loved Gone Girl.

 

helpforthe haunted

Help for the Haunted if you are up for a mystery. 

 

take the stairs

My niece recently read Take the Stairs. She sang high praises for this motivational book on achieving success.

 

girl on the train

This is supposed to be a great psychological thriller, The Girl on the Train.

 

life changing

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up

I've been reading a lot of good things about this book. With my hectic life, I could sure use some guidance.

 

the guest cottage

The Guest Cottage

Ever since visiting Nantucket, I'm drawn to novels that center around the area.

 

mary kay

Beach Town

I adore anything by Mary Kay Andrews. I've been reading her for years. Always a lighthearted, quick read.

Also on OSH!  Distressed Denim After 40

 

isle of palms

Isle of Palms

 I enjoy Benton Frank as well. This is an older novel, but I just finished it. I really enjoyed it. 

 

you

You

I almost didn't share this one. I am almost finished reading it. (hallelujah)  I loved Gone Girl and this was supposedly somewhat similar. It's a bit different in that this story is told from the eyes of a stalker. It's not well written in my opinion. It is interesting coming from his perspective, but a bit eye-opening as to how he gets his info. Creepy. I won't spoil it for you. Not really a recommendation, but thought I'd share since it is everywhere. Warning: there is sex, crude and foul language

 

big little lies

Big Little Lies

I really like The Husband's Secret. I can't wait to read this one!

 

summer

Summer in the South

Someone told me about this one. It doesn't have many reviews, but in the mystery genre.

 

kitchen

The Kitchen House

This story takes place on a Virginia Plantation in the decades leading up to the Civil War.

 

paper towns

Paper Towns

My daughter is getting ready to read this one. I thought I'd give it a go since it's a new movie.

Be sure to PIN the below image to come back to later!

Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestion Thanks so much for all the comments and suggestions about my back yesterday. I did absolutely nothing and rested it. I slept better last night, and it's much better today. Last year on this very day, I posted our winter mantel. I loved this look. We enjoyed it so much throughout January. Keep on using your fresh greenery and twinkle lights if it makes you happy! Going through old ideas has me inspired to spruce up our mantel. Sadly, I haven't really done anything to it since Christmas. I went straight from putting up Christmas to painting the mudroom! Have a cozy evening! Visit the blog with the link in bio @oursouthernhome Just type in WINTER MANTEL in the search bar.

This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’ This New thrift store makeover post almost didn’t happen! It’s the first one of the new year! I was 1/2 way through the project while simultaneously painting the mud room cabinets. Down on the floor painting lower cabinets and twisted a certain way which did something to my lower back/hip. Ugh!!!! I got it done with the help of @ashlyn_little ⭐️ I couldn’t sleep and currently on heating pad. I’m going to be useless today! Any remedy ideas? I’ve got to get back to painting! I can’t take things in disarray. Lol! I’ll be working on the laptop in bed today I guess and checking out the other projects from my blogging friends! Link in bio and stories to the blog post!

Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie Happy New Year & Wednesday friends! @bentleywestie  here! My grandma has taken a little break from social media and the blog to enjoy time with us before Woods and Ashlyn started classes back at Clemson. Personally...I’m ready to see her get out of sweats and put some makeup on! She did finally get all the Christmas packed away. With the tree gone, I’ve got my other bed back in the den! I think she’s coming off a sugar high. She mentioned that all the Hershey kisses were gone. Oh, well! Things are getting back to normal around here! Maybe they’ll get me a haircut!

I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER I’ve been wanting a pair of sequin pants FOREVER! I wore them for the first time out Saturday night for our anniversary dinner! @lovechicos Now I want to wear them all the time! They are so comfy, stretchy, lightweight and just freaking fabulous! ❤️ Paired them with a sweater from @amazonfashion so it toned the look down a bit. I felt dressy casual. I’m also going to be wearing them with a white sweatshirt and tennis shoes! Life is too short.....So wear the sequins! Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others http://liketk.it/34KjY #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKNewYear #StayHomeWithLTK

You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s You’ll find me here all day in pajamas. That’s right! I’m not doing a darn thing today. I always lounge the day after Christmas to recoup after days of cooking. After Christmas is when I can finally relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of the season. I finally watched Little Women this morning and loved. Now I’m watching season 2 of Virgin River. How are you spending your Saturday? I’ll be getting dressed later this evening for our anniversary dinner. #31years tomorrow! 🥂

Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Chri Today is the BIG 52! Gulp! It’s been a cozy Christmas Eve Birthday with my family. I’ll admit, it’s been a busy day of chores, but it’s been extra special because the kids are both home with us. Hunkering in for the evening. Here’s a tip when you’re wanting to feel put together at home. @spanx faux leather leggings work dressed up or down! Add a pair of @isotoner.us ballet slippers and you can fake a ballet flat at home! Over the knee boots and scarf are Amazon finds. I’ll be linking the look in the #liketoknowit app soon. Merry Christmas Eve!

I’m sharing my favorite carol on the blog along with our nativity and angels through the years going all the way back to 2012! Did you catch the Christmas Star last night? ⭐️ We missed it, but I think you can see it again tonight.
