Summer Reads
I’m on vacation this week and have some guest posts lined up, be sure to come back and see what they have to say.
In preparation for my trip, I asked around what other co-workers here at The Roanoke Times and some friends are reading this summer. Here is a quick list. Some of these were mentioned multiple times, and some are rereads. It’s quite an eclectic list.
Have you read any of these? What are you’re thoughts? What are your summer reading plans?
“Innocent Traitor: A Novel of Lady Jane Grey,” By Alison Weir
“Let’s Pretend it Never Happened,” by Jenny Lawson
“Bring Up the Bodies,” by Hilary Mantel
“Deadlocked,” by Charlaine Harris
“Fifty Shades of Grey,” by E.L, James
“A Song of Fire and Ice,” series, by George R.R. Martin
“Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” by Seth Grahame-Smith
“The Hunger Games,” series, by Suzanne Collins

I haven’t read Jenny Lawson’s book but I do follow her blog (http://thebloggess.com/) and it’s a hoot. Also exhausting.
Bring Up the Bodies is at the top of my TBR stack, as soon as I finish Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst. I’ve been looking forward to it for months!
I read “The Hunger Games” a few weeks ago, and I enjoyed it. It really sucked me in; I was so keen to find out what would happen next. I’m going to start the second book after I’ve finished what I’m reading now. I’d like to read “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” soon, before the movie comes out. The movie looks a lot cooler than I expected.
