Now that summer is here (or nearly here!), it's time to lounge around the pool or lake with a good book. What are your favorite summer reads, or what are you planning to read this summer?

The new Janet Evanovich.

I have an entire stack waiting for me! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I just finished The Devil Wears Prada and I thought it was really good!

Right now I'm reading A Most Uncommon Degree of Popularity.

Next in line is Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen.

Currently reading, Sara Donati's latest in her series about the Bonner family living in upper New York in the late 1700s and early 1800s called Fire Along the Sky.

Then it's Breathe of Snow and Ashes from the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon.

I will also be reading The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie as a possible novel for one of my classes next year. I have The Know World and Time Traveler's Wife waiting to be read as well.

I'm in a book club and we are currently reading The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Our next book will be Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I've been waiting to see the movie until after we have read the book. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/zread.gif[/img]

I just picked up the Carl Hiassen one, and anxiously waiting for Janet Evanovich's book!

Saved Sue Grafton S is For Silence! I never start one of these before I'm done with school for the summer so I have something to look forward to reading. Looking to catch up on Janet Evanovich, too.

Jennifer Cruise has a new book coming out this summer. I just picked up Sophie Kinsella's Undomestic Goddess now that it's out in paperback. Lori Foster has a few older books that I haven't gotten around to. Unfortunately, with DD out of school, I have less time to read during the summer.

I've been reading alot of Luanne Rice's books while I've been home. Since I'm going back to work next monday, I won't have as much time for reading.

Have a huge stack,too! Just finished "Memoirs of a Geisha" and am currently reading "The Bonesetter's Daughter." Have to get around to the summer reading that I assigned my students and am looking forward to starting "The Things They Carried." I have "Skinny Dip" to read as well. I also started reading some historical fiction by Jean Plaidy. I have finished all the ones about the wives of Henry VIII and now want to move on to the others. They are really great.

(hee hee) Passporter!!

I've been terrible about any kind of reading lately. I don't know what has gotten into me. I think all the required reading DS had to do in 6th grade turned me off. The poor kid had a typed book report due every 1 1/2 - 2 weeks to meet the 25 books a year requirement. (He still has to do the reading, but he doesn't have to do a report after each one & every 150 pages counts as a book) Anyway, I guess the stress of all that turned me off! Pretty lame, huh??

Yesterday, I read Full Scoop and enjoyed it, it was the first I had read by Janet Evanovich, can anyone recommend anything else by her, or are they all pretty good.

I don't like heavy reading in the summer, I like light read in a day or 2 type of books.

I just finished Skinny Dip and want to read another Carl Hiassen. I am currently reading Breakfast with Tiffany - a memoir by a man who took in his teenage niece for one year. It's good so far. I also have the Mermaid Chair to read. Luckily I'm going on vacation soon so I'll have some time to read!

[HiddenMickey]

I just got finished reading Steve Berry's The Templar Legacy. I highly recommend this book for those of you who enjoyed The DaVinci Code or similar books. A good read.

I just started reading Mary Higgins Clark's Two Girls In Blue. I don't usually read her books, but it is starting out as a fairly good read.
