So, I leave for my long-awaited two week vacation to Florida tomorrow morning, which means I need to pack the perfect summer reads for the beach and for lounging by the pool. Last week, I was on a mission to find the perfect books for my trip and I found a great article on the best summer books in my REAL SIMPLE magazine. The author of the article, Sara Nelson, surveyed popular writers and asked what books they like to read during the summer months. Here were some of the authors' favorites:
- James Patterson: No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy, Mrs. Bridge and Mr. Bridge by Evan S. Connell
- Danielle Steel: Anything by Jodi Picoult (her new book, Change of Heart, was mentioned in the article), Become a Better You by Joel Osteen
- Janet Evanovich: The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly, The Two Minute Rule by Robert Crais
- Jodi Picoult: The Third Angel by Alice Hoffman, Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian
- Augusten Burroughs: The Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers, The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
I have already picked up a few titles for the plane ride! I was especially thrilled to see my all-time favorite book, One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, make James Patterson's list!! It's always fun to see what favorite authors are reading! Happy Summer!
