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.

Read Any Good Books Lately?


Bee has good taste! I love Mindy Kaling. Just when I needed something fun to read, my best friend stepped in and loaned me Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? Kaling's essays are honest, clever, and absolutely funny. You'll wish she was one of your closest friends after reading this book. But since it's unlikely that we'll be hanging out with her any time soon, let's watch her new show on Fox, The Mindy Project.  

What books are you reading right now?  I'd love some recommendations.

Bookish


Have you read all of the books in your bookcase?  Although I wish that were true for me, there are several books on my shelves that I haven't read yet. Over the last year, life has gotten so busy (Hello Bee!) that I just haven't had much time to curl up with a good book.  Six months ago, I read the 50 Shades Trilogy, which were fun and easy to get through during nursing and nap time.

Next on my list is J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy, and I really hope to get to it soon.  Reading is truly an indulgent pleasure!  What's next on your reading list?

P.S.  Have you heard of Good Reads?  I learned of it on Elephantine, and I think I'm going to join... It might keep me motivated to read more often.
