Stieg Larsson
This is the sequel to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I loved the first book and I am glad that I read this one as well. While it probably wasn't quite as developed as the first, I really liked it. I also think that there were a few parts that were a little unbelievable. But, overall I was hooked and the cliffhanger at the end is going to make it hard to wait until book 3 is available in the U.S.

Firefly Lane
Kristin Hannah
What a great summer read. I love a story about great friends. I think this is because I am blessed with so many good girlfriends, and Michael really is my best friend. I thought this was a sweet, neat story and I am so glad I read it even if it did end a little sad. I think it is funny how I don't cry about my life very often at all, but a good book or movie always gets me. This is well worth your time for an easy summer story.

Candyland
Candy Spelling
Ok, so I really enjoyed Stori Telling and couldn't resist hearing Candy's side of the story. But, I wouldn't waste my time if I were you. Candy didn't have much to say. She whined about how hard it is to be a trophy wife, boo hoo. And, how hard it was to be a celebrity Mom, boo hoo. I am sure Tori has done some bratty things, but at least her story had some good stories. Candy was boring, she spent a chapter telling the layout of her ginormous attic. Oh well. It was something to read, guess I will have to get Mommywood now.

Multiple Bles8ings
Jon & Kate Gosselin and Beth Carson
Well, my timing wasn't the greatest. I have been wanting to read this for a long time and a friend at work loaned it to me recently. I have to say, I have always been team Kate. She can be harsh, but so can I. I felt like she always really loved her kids and her husband, but is demanding... aren't we all good for her for admitting it. Anyway, I liked the book. I am so sad their marriage didn't make it. I wish nothing but the best for all of them. I really hope Kate and Jon have some good friends to support them in this time and that they lean on their faith as they have in the past.

Black Out
Lisa Unger
I saw this listed on the Today Shows recommended summer reads. I have always had good suggestions from here in the past and I also enjoyed this one. There were a lot of twists and turns, maybe too many, but it fits the book well. I can't wait to discuss it with book club. I am glad I read it with my Dallas girls, Melinda in Tyler would HATE it.

The Beach House
Jane Green
Perfect summer read. I needed something for the plane on the way to Minnesota and this was just the thing. I always love her novels and I wasn't disappointed, even a fun twist I didn't predict. Enjoy it on the beach or by the lake, you won't be sorry.

Dragonfly in Amber
Diana Gabldon
This is the second book in the Outlander series and I am loving it! I laughed I cried and I am dying to start the next one. I can't believe I like a fantasy book about a woman going back in time hundreds of year, but I do. It is a commitment though, 900 pages in paperback yikes!
