Summer Reads Preview

After a few days of sunny weather with temperatures in the 80s, it is back to reality here in Illinois, with a typical drizzly April day with a high in the low 60s.

But no mater the actual weather in your neck of the woods, believe it or not, summer is creeping up on us. Entertainment Weekly's Summer Entertainment issue came in my mail box yesterday and with it, their list of "18 Books We Can't Wait to Read This Summer."

This list is a nice mix of fiction and nonfiction by big name and lesser known authors. Personally, I am already on hold for The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest on audio.

One other book I am eagerly anticipating that is coming out in July, but did not make the list, is Fly Away Home by Jennifer Weiner.
