What's on your summer reading list?
I don't think I have one, just a unread folder where I put everything waiting to be read that stays there throughout the seasons until I stumble across them after I finish the previous book.Of course, you question does presuppose us having a summer, which is not necessarily always the case.
Generally it's whatever I'm asked to beta read next.
I've got these on my Amazon Wishlist:Britain at War 1939 to 1945: What Was Life Like During the War?
Autism and Asperger Syndrome
That Autism one looks really interesting.
Yes, it's supposed to be a very good introduction to it.The author is actually Sacha Baron-Cohen's (the Ali G dude) brother.
I've got An Officer and a Spy because my book group has chosen it. I always read The Summer Book in the summer because it makes me happy (I tell people if the first page doesn't make you smile then it's not for you). I've just started A Darker Shade of Magic which is shaping up nicely. And I'm going to reread The Lord of the Rings because it's been too long really (just skipping the Tom Bombadil bit like I usually do) And I'm also going to reread Miles Cameron's The Red Knight and The Fell Sword in preparation for book no 3 which is released in October. Oh and I feel like some Iain Banks so The Steep Approach to Garbadale which I haven't read yet. And a book by Grayson Perry Playing to the Gallery which was on a list of best summer reads (along with a load of old tosh!). He's very clever and very funny.
Summer reading:1. The gas meter
2. The leccy meter
3. The bill.
or seriously:
1. The next one I promised to review (on my nexus)
2. Goto 1
Don't really have a reading list, depends on my mood. Or recommendations.

That's the way I work too

I drop books into a to be read file on my kindle and read as I feel fit. I also have a pile of books, browse then read as takes my fancy. They all get read at the end of the day, but the file/pile never becomes empty.

Yeah. And that's only a small percentage of what I've got in manage my kindle.Double sheesh.
I've got the follow up books to the brilliant Sanctus by Simon Toyne which are The Key and The Tower along with Lines of Departure and Angles of Attack which are books 2 and 3 respectively in the Frontlines series by Marko Kloos loaded and ready on my Kindle for my trip to Turkey. I also have a few other books on hand if I rip through these.
Here is my summer readingThe No-Cry Sleep Solution: Gentle Ways to Help Your Baby Sleep Through the Night
I haven't really looked at my kindle in a while so I'm not sure what is still on there, I am currently reading The Dark Monk and I have CURSE OF A KING to read too.
Loads. I've discovered my library has online ebook titles to borrow and now I've joined unlimited on Amazon, I have too many to choose from. Here's a few...

And chocolate. Who DOES have the chocolate fountain??
Think it's time Simon bought us a new one.
Maybe a champagne fountain as well.
You have a golden shower fixation.And where have you been all day???
Here. At my desk. Playing games and stuff.
Well, Pop in and grunt occasionally. I was worried.
Heya - I'm a newbie here, first post...I'm reading The Hunger Games and Atonement next. I've also got Still Alice on my list as my last amazing job was in a care home that looked after dementia patients, so I'd like to read it and then watch the film too.
Also, I've just read a book (that my friend has written), called The Walnut Tree, so I may be biased, but it was a page turner...

Good luck with ticking off your summer reads folks!
Victoria
Hi Victoria. I'm one of the few people I know who hasn't yet read any of The Hunger Games!
OOh, let's all start together, so we can discuss it afterwards?
I think if Kath and Patti haven't read it by now then no amount of cake or bacon will get them to read it, ever.
I can't even be bribed with chocolate :-)
Victoria - you bribe Patti with bacon, me with cake and Marc, apparently, with chocolate!
I am above corruption, okay well just one then

I suspect we are too far removed from 'Young Adult' to qualify.
