While stuck at home with my broken ankle, I've gotten through a book a week. I still have some more on my bookshelf, but I just got a 40% coupon for Borders that I want to use. Tell me your best summer read!
I'm reading Sippy Cups are Not For Chardonnay. It's hilarious. But I'm looking for a good summer read too. I just got that coupon in my email. Sorry you have a broken ankle.
I'm reading Dan Brown Angels & Demons. I like it but wouldnt' call it a summer read
I recently finished the Twilight series and that was fun.
ETA: Oh, also reading Luanne Rice Light of the Moon. I think she's great-any book by her and you can't go wrong. Easy, sweet love stories, usually set in the northeast...makes me want to visit there.

I want to read this one. Presently I am reading Mommywood by Tori Spelling. I really liked her first book too...light, funny read
Ok, so I've read the Twilight series, Angels & Demons, and finished The Time Traveler's Wife a couple weeks ago. I like the idea of the Tori Spelling books though! Keep the ideas coming!
I'm reading "The Help" and I can't wait to go on my lunch break to keep reading. It is EXCELLENT so far. Told from the perspective of three different women living in the early '60s in Mississippi.
Happiest Baby on the Block...and that's only in the bathroom. LOL. I was reading American Wife by Curtis Sittenfeld and In a Sunburned Country by Bill Bryson before little man came (and I even finished the former in the weeks after his birth!). They are both really good.
I am finishing a 5 book series right now. It is by Rick Riordan. The first book is called "The Lightning Thief". If you liked Twilight, you would probably like this series.
I just finished The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane...about the Salem witch trials but is fiction. It was very good. I also read the Memory Keepers Daughter. The Deliverance Dane book is a good one to use the coupon on becuase I believe it is only in hardcover now.
I'm trying to read The Happiest Baby on the Block before baby gets here, but reading makes me tired so I keep almost falling asleep. I also want to get the Dr. Sears book about vaccines so I'm prepared.

"When Evil came to Good Hart." It's non-fiction about a cold case in northern MI from 1968. I'm not sure it would be interesting to you if you don't live in MI but I can't put it down!
Clomid M/C 8 weeks 2/08 *IVF #1-DD born 3/09
*Surprise BFP-T18 baby lost at 13w 1/10 *FET #1-DS born 2/11
I recently finished The Memory Keepers Daughter, The Photograph and The Tenth Circle. Right now I'm reading Confessions from The Waiter (at least I think that's the title...it's the guy who has the website WaiterRant).
Those Who Save Us. It's actually really good! I look forward to going to bed so I can get a couple of chapters in before I fall asleep! So far, I'd recommend it!
GREAT love story set in historic fiction courtesy of time travel.
Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
Here are some of my favorites from the past year or so:
The Jessica Darling series -- Megan McCafferty
I am having the hardest time with the 4th book... Fourth Coming or something... It is sitting next to the bed, I keep picking it up, reading a page, picking up something else. It's like a totally different Jessica in this book!
If you liked twilight, I would offer anything by Kim Harrison or Kelley Armstrong for sure. Charlaine Harris has 2 lessor known series (besides Sookie, the true blood series) One is about Harper, who can find the dead and the other is the Shakespeare series, both are great summer reads. Rachel Caine's weather warden series first 3 books are good (the last couple nuked the fridge, but still readable!) and I also like Laurell K Hamilton, but her books are pretty racy

I'm reading Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay. I'm not really crazy about it, though.
I read that recently. I agree with cjsbdl, I wasn't crazy about it. It was a downer.
just the mail. no time at all for a book. I miss reading.
2 infertiles' journey to 2 pink lines (and a baby girl)
"our IF story"
I just started a new book on Monday and for the life of me I can't remember the title of it.
It is about a 16 yr old girl in 1921 who is working at a summer lodge to earn money for a train ticket to NY to go to college.
So far the book is pretty good.
I'm reading: Fresh Milk: The Secret Life of Breasts
It's interesting... Kind of weird but very entertaining...
They promised there would be cake
