Summer Reading List

Now that school is over and life is settling down a bit, I want to read A LOT.  My friend Liz is going on vacation next week and recently posted on her facebook asking for book suggestions.  I love it!  Here is what people suggested to her that I will be adding to my list.  (I've read the ones in bold already and I didn't include everything I sent her):

• The Time Traveler's Wife
• Breakfast at Tiffany's
• A Prayer for Owen Meany
• A Confederacy of Dunces
• The Kite Runner
• Bossypants
• The Kitchen House
• City of Thieves
• The Red Tent
• Losing Julia
• The Weight of Silence
• Sarah's Keys
• The Paris Wife
• Pillars of the Earth
• The Help
• Heaven is for Real
• A Thousand Splendid Suns
• Water for Elephants
• Left Neglected
• Still Alice
• The Dirty Life
• Glass Castle
• What is the What
• Gang Leader for a Day
• Snow Flower & the Secret Fan
• Little Bee
• Room
• Where She Went
• Anna & the French Kiss
• Outlander

That is quite the list!  There are quite a few on there I want to read, and quite a few I haven't even heard of.  I love book reading friends (or friends of friends as the case may be).  In addition to that list, I have quite a few books on my "to-read" list, as well.  Here is a picture of what is sitting on my table at work...














And those are just the ones at work!  I have a whole bag of books from the recent Women of Faith conference, too.  Not to mention my Kindle books, and the ever-growing library list!  And the Newbery winners, and the new YA fiction coming out, and the books I already have on pre-order and...

And this, my friends, is why I am becoming a librarian someday.  So at least there will be a reason for my obsession!

So, I have to ask.  What's on your nightstand?  Your bookshelf?  Your to-be read list?  Your summer fun reading list?
