+1 This is a hard choice so I'm going to have to pick two books, pretend they are siamese twins, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas because summer is free of distractions so I got caught up in the life of Edmond Dantes and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss ties with CoMC for my favorite summer read, because it's fantasy, it didn't feel like required reading, plus it just absorbed me heart and soul.

+1 When I think of summer reads, I think of light frothy stuff. I don't do a ton of light or frothy, so I guess for me, summer is a time to indulge in some YA (which is as close to light as I get). That and series books that I can fly through (the guilty pleasure ones like Anita Blake or Women of the Otherworld)

+1 Definitely have to say the Harry Potter series. A reread of all of them back to back or just Half Blood Prince or Deathly Hallows (my two favourite in the series) - I am a HP fanatic... they never cease to draw me into that brilliant world and make me pray for a Time Turner to go back to age 11 and a potrkey to send me to Hogwarts!

+1 for answering the question....

Summer read? Is there a better time to read certain books? Is this like the question "If you could only take five books...?"

I just spent 7 weeks reading winter books so maybe I'm not the best one to answer that ;-)

Any book that keeps my attention is a good book. Favorite? Can't do it. I seem to be on a cat sleuth kick though, must be the challenge :-)

I just found your blog thanks to the tweet from Gina (Book Dragon's Lair)!

+1 I did not read either of these in the summer but I think both would be phenomenal summer reads: On the Couch by Alisa Kwitney and Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

+1 This is a very random book, but the book that makes me think of summer is A STRING IN THE HARP by Nancy Bond. When I was in high school I would reread it every summer, so I connect it with laying around in the middle of the day reading. :)

You have so many wonderful books mentioned on your site, so many of my abosolute favorites-- I'm so glad this contest brought your blog to my attention. Anyone who loves The Westmark books. Wives and Daughters, Thursday Next *and* Edward Eager's Half Magic books has GOT to be good people. Half Magic was actually going to be my pick here, for great summer reads, because I read it a couple summers ago with my reading students, but since you've mentioned it here already I'll go with

+1-- Ronia the Robber's Daughter by Astrid Lindgren. Absolutely delectable book about the children of two warring bands of robbers becoming best friends in a magic wood chock full of gnomes and harpies and all other kinds of fascinating things. I love it with all my heart.

My favorite summertime reading is any YA novel, though I'm partial to Young Adult Fantasy and spent many summers re-reading the Harry Potter series(+1).

This summer would be a toss up between Worst Nightmares and The Sinful Life of Lucy Burns. Worst Nightmares is a horror/thriller novel, while The Sinful Life of Lucy Burns is a fun paranormal chick-lit. Both were fantastic!

How cool a reading blog!! Anyway I haven't really read a book this summer - new baby and all. But last summer my beach reading was all historical. I love Stephen Ambrose's Louis and Clark or anything on the revolution and the war of 1812. My last favorite book, which I recommend to everyone is: Candy Bombers - The untold story of the Berin airlift and America's finest hour by Andrei Cherny.
Thanks

+2 became a follower!!! Thanks:)

Oh wow--how can I choose just one book?!? I love snuggling down to read Silas House books over and over again, especially on warm summer evenings. (Clay's Quilt and A Parchment of Leaves are just amazing!)

+1 Bill says "Sophie's World" by by Jostein Gaarder, which we both read a bunch of summers ago. A YA novel about the history of philosophy...

+1 A few summers ago I read one amazing book after another as Bill & I travelled in Europe. Most of the books I got from the "trade" shelves in hostels and hotels. I'll recommend this one, because I bet no one has heard of it: "A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian" Marina Lewycka . A very, very funny novel.

Answer me this: In honor of the end of summer and the beginning of another school year...What is your favorite Summer Read? Doesn't have to have been read this summer, but what book evokes the true spirit of summer to you? Harry Potter perhaps? Charlotte's Web by chance? A thriller verses a classic? A true beach read? I want to know! - Anne of Green Gables! And the other books in the series too.
