What's on your summer reading list?

[Patti (baconater)]

Do you prefer light novels? Hefty tomes? Deep literary fiction? Thinking 'I did not know that.' with some enlightening non-fiction?

A combination of the above?

Share what's on your To Be Read list here.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I have The Mind's Eye sitting waiting.

[Anupama]

Anthem

[Patti (baconater)]

I've got a shed load of mystery and thrillers and I also will try Zorba the Greek

[Elizabeth]

I think it has to be a work through of all the books I've accumulated on my 'want to read' shelf since I joined Goodreads...

[Rosemary (grooving with the Picts)]

I don't read much in the summer. Too busy!

[Patti (baconater)]

Not even a few pages while you sit and dig the dirt from beneath your nails?

[Marc]

I've never understood this concept of summer reads, does what you take to the beach change from your normal type of reading? Not that I go on holiday, too busy writing, but when I did, I read exactly the same type of books as when I was at home.

[Kath]

Me too, Marc. I'll be reading my usual stuff, new stuff from authors I enjoy, beta reads from friends, ARCs from Netgalley...

[Marc]

ah good, not just me then! :-)

[Patti (baconater)]

I usually save up books I've been really looking forward to reading with no distractions. It's wonderful knowing I can sit down and read for five or six hours straight, if I fancy.
I love not having to be aware that I have to put my kindle down and sleep because the alarm will be going off.
Or feeling guilty because I should be writing planning instead of reading.
Summer reading is wonderful.

[Patti (baconater)]

Hmm,. Perhaps I've confused summer reading with holiday reading.

I forget some of my friends aren't teachers. ;)

[Jim]

Yes, my quiet reading times are more likely to be winter evenings than summer

[Kath]

And I'm retired so it's all holiday time!

[Patti (baconater)]

Anyway...

Back to sharing books!

[Marc]

A 284 page book without contain ing a single letter 'e'! Ironic seeing as the author's name on the spine contains 4.

But since this was originally written in french, props to the translator Gilbert Adair who retains the formal discipline in his translation, so no 'e's. That means no he/she/we/the.

[Patti (baconater)]

Can't say that gimmick does anything for me, Marc.

[Marc]

I thought it probably wouldn't :-)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Patti likes her 'e's.

[Desley (Cat fosterer)]

I don't generally read different, although some books are best read when you have more time and I do read more in the summer, as I love sitting outside reading

[Anna]

I have a plan... must put it into action!

[Kady]

I don't have a summer reading list. I will be reading books from my "to read" list, some of which will be borrowed from the library so I can't plan which of those to read until they become available.

[Wendy]

The Empath's Survival Guide by Judith Orloff.

[Pam]

I don't have a summer reading list, just dip into my TBR for whatever I fancy reading next.

[Craig]

The walking dead series of graphic novels and the baltimore boys!

[Kath]

Not the place for self promotion, Aditi.

[Patti (baconater)]

I knew as soon as I saw there was a new post that it'd be spam.

Grrrr
