Summer Reading Suggestions

Are you looking for a good pool or beach read this summer? Here’s a few suggestions that will help with your search.

The Help, by Kathryn Stockett- Three women — a white socialite and two black maids — work on a tell-all book about black domestic servants in 1960s Mississippi.
A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin- In the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are mustering.
The Hunger Games Trilogy, by Suzanne Collins- A girl fights for survival on live TV. This trilogy will grab you and not let go.
Harry Potter Series, by J.K. Rowling- If you haven’t read these books, you might live under a rock since they are a best seller and an icon of a generation. With the last movie out in theatres nows the perfect time to read what you saw.
Bossypants, by Tina Fey-  A memoir from the former Saturday Night Live star and creator of "30 Rock." It’s Tina Fey so you know it will be funny.
Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell- Why some people succeed — it has to do with luck and opportunities as well as talent. Very interesting nonfiction book filled with anecdotes and random facts.
Now You See Her, by James Patterson- A successful lawyer and loving mother, Nina Bloom would do anything to protect the life she's built in New York--including lying to everyone, even her daughter, about her past. But when an innocent man is framed for murder, she knows that she can't let him pay for the real killer's crimes. 
The Southern Vampire Series, series True Blood was based off, Charlaine Harris- This is a vampire series, but it is so much more then what they show on TV. Telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse lives in Bon Temps and deals with being the interest of multiple vampires.
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, by Mark Haddonis a murder mystery of sorts--one told by an autistic version of Adrian Mole. Fifteen-year-old Christopher John Francis Boone is mathematically gifted and socially hopeless, raised in a working-class home by parents who can barely cope with their child's quirks. He takes everything that he sees (or is told) at face value, and is unable to sort out the strange behavior of his elders and peers. This book is so good! You can read it in a day and it will make you smile.
The Dragon Series by Katie Macalister- Romance novels filled with lots of snark, humor, and romance. They are all easy and fun reads good for a day relaxing in the sun or curled up on the couch, but be warned you will have the urge to laugh out loud.
The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning- Is amazing paranormal series, set up around Mac who travels to Dublin to find her sisters murderer. It’s a fast paced series that will have you reading the books one after the other!

I suggest going to Borders before they close and getting some of these books at discounted prices! Enjoy your reading!
