Beach Reads

Lots of posts out there about summer reading. As for me, I've got the following stack (so far) sitting on my nightstand:

A Garden in Tuscany by Stephanie Whitson
A Girl's Best Friend by Kristin Billerbeck (can't believe I haven't gotten to this one yet.)
Alaska Twilight by Colleen Coble (again, I'm behind on my reading...)
Emma by Jane Austin (um, yes, classics are a good thing.)
Blah, Blah, Blah--Making Sense of the World's Spiritual Chatter by Bayard Taylor (theology unmasked!--non-fiction by debut author and friend.)

Add to my list! What are you reading this summer?

Ooh, I just ordered:
THE REVOLUTION: A FIELD MANUAL FOR CHANGING YOUR WORLD by Jim Wallis
ACE OF HEARTS (historical romance) by Barbara Metzger
A MATRIX OF MEANINGS: FINDING GOD IN POP CULTURE by Craig Detweiler and Barry Taylor
YELL-OH GIRLS! by Vickie Nam
RECONSTRUCTING NATALIE by Laura Jensen Walker (comes out next month--it looks really really good because Laura was diagnosed with breast cancer herself at a young age)
A SOUNDING BRASS by Shelley Bates
THE MARCELLI BRIDE by Susan Mallery
DO THEY WEAR HIGH HEELS IN HEAVEN? by Erica Orloff
BULLETPROOF PRINCESS by Vicki Hinze

Weird, huh? Frivolous and serious. I am SO not a typical Relevant Mag reader.

Heavens, I just finished a book called "The List, A Love Story in 781 Chapters" that I can't decide whether to recommend or not.

My current list is
1. DragonKnight by Donita K Paul.
2. The Prophet of Yonwood by Jeanne DuPrau
3. Fury By Bill Bright and Jack Cavanaugh
4. The Bishop's Daughter by Wanda Brunsetter
5. The Potluck Club Trouble's Brewing by Linda Evans Shephard and Eva Marie Everson
6. Coldwater Revival by Nancy Jo Jenkins
7. Watching the Tree Limbs by Mary DeMuth
8. Peace Like a River By Leif Enger (for the second time)
9. Anna Karenanna (that has to be spelled wrong) by Tolstoy (I will say it till I do it)

Yes, most of that list is dictated by reviews I must do, but I'm still excited.
