Cures for Boredom: Funny Reads
At this point in the summer, with just a couple of weeks before school officially starts, the Summer Reading Program about to end (have you logged your books or minutes? Log your books and minutes!), and weather that is so hot it saps your energy as soon as you walk out the front door, sometimes a little bit of boredom sets in. We’ve enjoyed sleeping in, staying up later, hanging out with friends, and maybe taking a family trip, but these last few weeks seem to draaaaaaaaggggg by. Why not check out a book that will have you laughing the rest of your summer away? What funny reads to you recommend?
