Earlier this week, I made a presentation to a local book club. They wanted to hear about some books that would be good to read this summer. For the list of titles I shared with them, I looked for books that had been published in 2007 and that were fairly easy to read - not fluff, but not "literature" either. I hope you find something on the list that you will enjoy reading. Please feel free to leave a comment (good or bad) about any of the titles on the list that you read.
Dream When You're Feeling Blue by Elizabeth Berg.
Back on Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber. Also try the first two in this series, Shop on Blossom Street and A Good Yarn.
Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs.
Whitethorn Woods by Maeve Binchy.
Queen of the Broken Hearts by Cassandra King (wife of Pat Conroy).
The Wedding Officer by Anthony Capella
Quilter's Homecoming by Jennifer Chiaverini. An Elm Creek Quilters novel.
Good Husband of Zebra Drive by Alexander McCall Smith. Number eight in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency. Also try Right Attitude to Rain, number three in the Isabel Dalhousie Mystery series.
6th Target by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro. Also look for The Quickie to be published later this summer.
Blue Zone by Andrew Gross (former co-author with James Patterson)
An Unexpected Family by Joan Medlicott. A Covington novel.

Thanks for the suggestions! Another good one to add to your list: "When We Get There" by Shauna Seliy. It's absolutely beautiful, the story of a boy's search for his mother and a sense of community among immigrants, and his own identity, really. Totally recommend it.
