19. Spending some lazy days at the lake house sounds like a wonderful summer vacation!
Read a book with a cover that is more than 50% blue, or by an author whose first or last name begins with any letter in the word L-A-K-E.

 

My kindle copy of Patricia Wentworth's The Clock Strikes Twelve has a very blue cover!

24. BL square. For which I spin the wheel to decide, and the wheel brings me:

 

"Move to the space of your choice"

 

So, I pop to:

 

17. Why?
Read a book that is non-fiction or a book with the word "why" in the title.

 

I'll use our new Flat Book Society read Skeletons: The Frame of Life for this one.

25. I look forward to the summer blockbuster movie releases every year!

...which takes me to:

33. The summer after I graduated from high school, A group of my friends and I took a European Tour, and London was one of our favorite stops.
Read a book set in the UK, or that was written by an author whose first or last name begins with any letter in the word L-O-N-D-O-N.

 

I am leaning toward Queen of Scots for this one, which is a play by Gordon Daviot, aka Josephine Tey. I have this as a library loan and I really need to get reading.
