I'm not sure who coined the term "Beach Read" or "Summer Reading" but it helped create the image that it's summer, time to read.


Here's my short list for the summer:

The Secret Life of Bees

Brother Odd

All the Numbers

The Blue Sword

What do you guys plan on reading this summer? Or, if you have a novel releasing this summer, tell us about it.

    Here's my list - The Dead Whisper On, by T. L. Hines, Your Best You by Bonnie Grove, Quaker Summer by Lisa Samson, and Stephen Lawhead's Robin Hood series. That'll keep me going in between writing my sequel to One Smooth Stone. :)
