Just about the time we get into the swing of summer it seems like the “back to school” crapola starts.  School inundates our inboxes with forms, lists and to-do’s prior to the return a few weeks away.

Summer reading sneaks up on us each year and my Amazon cart fills with books that need to be purchased and ready swiftly. 

This year I have created my own book buy list for back to school with all the pre-orders in my cart that I will have delivered on release day at the best price. 

Joy sometimes simply comes in the form of pretty design books for me.
