Looking for some great summer reads?
NPR has some great recommendations from independent booksellers that might spark your interest.
Here are some of my recommendations for your pool or beach reading (links are at the bottom):
Bending the Rules by Susan Anderson – light contemporary with a touch of suspense
Burn by Linda Howard – The queen of romantic suspense turns the temperature up a notch
The Beach House by Jane Green – For some reason I love to read about summers on the east coast. No one does family drama like Jane Green.
One Reckless Summer by Toni Blake – This one is on my TBR list. You can’t beat a summer homecoming novel for pure nostalgia.
Breaking Loose by Tara Janzen – Another fantastic romantic suspense author who will take you on an exciting ride.
Shanghai Girls by Lisa See – Shanghai of the 1930’s and two glamorous sisters who struggle to establish a new life in America.

Are zombies the new vampires? Seth Grahame-Smith’s hit novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies has landed him a six figure book deal from Grand Central Press. The first book slated for him to release via GCP is Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. I think the Lincoln book sounds awesome since I’m not much of a Jane Austen fan.
