|  | From Emily Faherty, your About Books & Literature Editor Whether school is already back in session or you're savoring what little remains of summer vacation, we understand it can be a tough transition back to the classroom for students and parents alike. But we're here to help, with a few easy ways to keep reading this fall―beyond the textbooks and required assignments. | | Back to School | Back to Book Club Set a good example for kids this school year and show them how much fun reading can be! The fall is a great time to start or join an adult book club. Not only will your children see Mom and Dad doing their "homework" too, it's also a chance to read any books you might have missed this summer. Personally, I can't wait to start Khaled Hosseini's latest―a perfect book club pick. | Back to the Kitchen If your family is anything like mine, you probably lived on burgers and dogs or other quick (often takeout) meals all summer long. Now that everyone will be back on a set schedule, why not find your way back to the kitchen to make family suppers a priority? For some dinner inspiration (and light reading), try one of these top family cookbooks. | (Wishing We Were) Back to the Beach While we love to watch the trees change colors, go apple picking, and indulge in all things pumpkin, we're just not ready to say farewell to our favorite sandy reading spot at the water's edge just yet. If you feel the same, grab a beach chair and soak up the last few rays of summer with this year's best beach reads. | | | | Related Searches | | | | Featured Articles | | | | | | | | Sign up for more free newsletters on your favorite topics | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About.com Books & Literature newsletter.
