What's on your summer reading list? I'm interested in finding some new novels to read... my library isn't very good but if you have some ideas for me, I can look it up! I'll read just about anything (I can read in Spanish too).
Thanks!
Thanks!

I'm just here to be jealous. I'll not have time to read over the summer. You should check out 'One Day' by David Nicholls - theres a movie about to come of it, and it's always good to have read the book first I think. And anything by Terry Pratchett is a good time spent. I started with 'Carpe Jugulum', great fun. Actually it's been 10 years since I last read that -must dig it out.0

" The Help" - wonderful! Couldn't put it down!0

Any book by Sarah Addison Allen, I just finished her newest "The Peach Keeper" and just like her other books, I loved it!0

A Dance with Dragons by George RR Martin...I've been waiting six years for this book to come out and I'm going to a midnight release party for it tonight! Yay me0

The Strain by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. I just finished this. LOVED it and can't wait to read the next book in the trilogy. Here's the synopsis from FantasticFiction:
The visionary creator of the Academy Award-winning Pan's Labyrinth and a Hammett Award-winning author bring their imaginations to this bold, epic novel about a horrifying battle between man and vampire that threatens all humanity. It is the first installment in a thrilling trilogy and an extraordinary international publishing event.
The Strain
They have always been here. Vampires. In secret and in darkness. Waiting. Now their time has come.
In one week, Manhattan will be gone. In one month, the country.
In two months - the world.
A Boeing 777 arrives at JFK and is on its way across the tarmac, when it suddenly stops dead. All window shades are pulled down. All lights are out. All communication channels have gone quiet. Crews on the ground are lost for answers, but an alert goes out to the CDC. Dr. Eph Goodweather, head of their Canary project, a rapid-response team that investigates biological threats, gets the call and boards the plane. What he finds makes his blood run cold.
In a pawnshop in Spanish Harlem, a former professor and survivor of the Holocaust named Abraham Setrakian knows something is happening. And he knows the time has come, that a war is brewing . . .
So begins a battle of mammoth proportions as the vampiric virus that has infected New York begins to spill out into the streets. Eph, who is joined by Setrakian and a motley crew of fighters, must now find a way to stop the contagion and save his city - a city that includes his wife and son - before it is too late.0 -
