Rachel, you beat me to it!! I also had a summer reading blog post planned :)
One of the advantages of commuting on a train everyday is that I get 12 or so minutes each way to read a book and while the start of summer was a little slow in this department, I picked up the pace by July and have since tackled:
Have a Little Faith by Mitch Alblum
- I highly recommend this book. Its a quick read and had me crying, laughing and left me thinking about its message for months.
The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo
The Girl who Played with Fire
and just cracked open The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's nest
- These books are FANTASTIC. They are action packed and original. I may or may not have stayed up past my bed time several nights because I just couldnt put them down.
Water for Elephants
- This book is one of the most beautifully written books I've read since high school honors English. The first chapter took my breath away. I also found out they are making a movie with Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson to come out this spring. I'll almost definately skip it because I don't want anything to take away from my own imaginings.Thank you thank you thank you MF for the perfect bday present!)
Potty Training Boys the Easy Way
- If you're not getting ready to potty train a little boy, you can probably skip this one:)
I also happened to scan through Time's 100 top books list and I'm kind of embarrassed by the low number of books on it I've actually read. I'm going to start making my way through the list this fall and winter. Are you reading anything good?

I'm so glad that you liked Water for Elephants! On an unrelated note, I have all three seasons of Mad Men waiting for you in a bag by our front door, so we must get together soon!
OH MAD MEN. I love you.
I've probably only covered about 15% of that list. But did you notice how many of those books have been made into movies? I didn't count, but I'm going too!.
