Summer Reading

Although I'm not sure when I'll have the time to lay out on a beach towel and read for hours on end, I really want to read these books before the summer is over:

The Casual Vacancy, J.K. Rowling
      (I've had it for months now!)

Inferno, Dan Brown
     (The DaVinci code was excellent, and I took a class on Dante in college.)

The Devil Wears Prada, Lauren Weisberger
     (10 years later, the sequel is out: Revenge Wears Prada, but I want to read the original first.)

What will you read this summer? Here, 12 writers talk about their most memorable summer reading.

Little Pleasures: Here Comes Summer

Cherries galore

Days like this in La Jolla

Fragrant white jasmine all day long

Weekend lunches at Malibu Seafood

Abeille Boissons: Agua Fresca

The temperature is on the rise... Memorial Day unofficially marks the beginning of the summer season, and instead of only consuming plain water to quench your thirst, add some agua fresca to the mix. It's really easy to make. All you need is a blender, some fresh fruit, juice, water, mint, and ice.
