Summer Reading List!!!

I have been super busy the past few months, and will be until the wedding in July, but that hasn't stopped me from buying books.   I have nearly a WHOLE shelf of books to catch up!  No worries, though... after the honeymoon, I will have the entire month of August with nothing to do but read!
In no particular order, my summer reading list is as follows:

1. Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith (I've actually read the first third of this one, but haven't had time to finish it!)
2. House Rules by Jodi Picoult (Love Jodi Picoult!!!)
3. Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger (Looks sooo creepy!)
4. Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris  (mmmm, Vampire soft-core porn!)
5. Boneshaker by Cherie Priest (Steampunk, post-Civil War Seattle? With Zombies? AWESOME!!!)
6. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold (I know, I know, it's been out FOREVER!!!)
7. The Bean Trees by Barbara Kingsolver ($5 at Costco... we'll see how it goes...)
8. Passing by Nella Larsen (Recommended on the NPR Books podcast, sounds like an oldie but goodie)
9. Free Food for Millionaires by Min Jin Lee ($3.99 on clearance at Borders...)
10. The Third Angel by Alice Hoffman (I love Alice Hoffman, but I am skeptical about this one)
11. The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton (looks intriguing...)
12. Beloved by Toni Morrison (Have never read anything by Toni Morrison before, looking forward to it)
13. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (recommended by several friends)
14. The Bible Salesman by Clyde Edgerton (If David Sedaris says to read a book, I read it.)
15. Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier (mmmm, gothic gloom and doom)
16. Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin (Jason bought it, and I've been meaning to read it for over a year, but it keeps getting pushed further and further down the list...)

I'll try keeping up with the postings.  Hopefully I will find some time to finish the Lincoln book, I'll keep ya posted!

Hiatus from the blog...

Been UBER busy with wedding planning, I haven't had much time to read or post, but I have a huge pile of books at home waiting to be read.  Hopefully I can post more soon!
