Summer Reading

Can it be true that summer is just around the corner? Despite the thermometer falling back to 40 degrees, the calender informs me that summer is only a few weeks away. Every summer I make a list of books I want to read. I admit the list is flexible. Some books I start and never finish. Other books drop down the list in favor of newer, shinier reads. But, never mind that. Here are the ones currently topping my summer reading list:

Why: The product description reads, "An eloquent memoir of a young man's life transformed by literature. " A guy who loves Jane Austen? Be still my beating heart.

2. The Great Night: A Novel by Chris Adrian
Why: A modern retelling of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

3. The Secret Lives of Dresses by Erin McKean

Why: McKean’s blog, A Dress a Day, is the inspiration for the novel.

4. What You See in the Dark by Manuel Munoz

Why: The making of Psycho and a real life murder.

5. Mermaid: A Twist on the Classic Tale by Carolyn TurgeonWhy: A retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's classic tale.

6. The Book of Tomorrow: A Novel by Cecelia Ahern

Why: A magic book and a traveling library. What more could a girl ask for?

7. Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff

Why: I'm obsessed with the lives of women royals.

What books will you be reading this summer?
