When you love to read, finding a good book sometimes is easy and other times it's a shot in the dark. Who you do turn to for a list of good must reads? Is a national best seller the way to go? What about friends and neighbors.
Summer was a great time for reading in our area. With all the summer reading programs, the most read lists is a great way to find some good books to add to your must read list.
Here are some of my areas top books from this past summer.

My best friend always has good suggestions for me! Reading blogs with reviews on books also helps, too. I've been wanting to read The Hunger Games :D
ReplyDeleteWhen I have time I love a good Nicholas Sparks book. Great list you have there.
ReplyDeleteI read all of Steig Larsson's *girl with...* series this summer. The first one took a while but eventually it and all the others sucked me in!
ReplyDeleteWe are probably the only people on the planet who have not read the Harry Potter books!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I loved the HP series.
