L. A. Times Summer reading guide

This is one of the better U.S. based summer reading lists, but beware- it is enorrrmous!! Some will not be available in Ireland/UK yet but there are a good few that are and it is very wide ranging in it's suggestions. The link is at the bottom and running your cursor over each picture reveals a small summary. It covers beach reads, history and biography, young adult, lifestyle and quirky (! very LA).

Richard & Judy Summer Reading 2012

Richard and Judy have launched their summer book club. I haven't followed it with any great interest before but their books this year are as follows;
The ThreadJubileeThe Fear IndexThe Night CircusThe Secret Between UsThe HypnotistTidelineThe Book of Summers
A Perfectly Good ManAlice Bliss

I can recommend The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. I started Victoria Hislop's The Thread but lost interest as the plot was rather predictable. I know two seasoned thriller readers who have read and enjoyed Lars Kepler's The Hypnotist.
