So far, I have had an incredibly fortunate summer with reading. All of the authors are amazing--some I've been avoiding due to their pop-culture-cult-following-ness. I'm glad I shut up about it and started in on them. I really, really encourage you to check out all of them. I'll be updating throughout the summer.
