Summer Reading List

I love the summers here in Vancouver, BC. Now don't get me wrong, I enjoy a great destination spot on the beach where it is scorching hot and palm trees line the highways, but I suppose Canada has conditioned me to love wearing the fantastic combination of jeans, sandals, and a blouse. A breezy summer day when the sun is shining and the days seem infinitely longer makes me want to lie on a blanket and work on my non-existent tan while delving into a great read. So what is on my personal reading list this summer?
