The Write Mama's Summer Reading List (2013)

If you are anything like me, you are looking forward to some happy hours on the beach with a strawberry margarita and a good book as soon as the sun reappears.

I just finished reading Dead Ever After, the final installment of the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris and I got inspired to create a summer reading list. So is Sookie still with Eric or has she moved on? Oh, I am such a tease. You’ll have to read it yourself to find out. And OMG did you know there is a new Lauren Weisberger sequel to The Devil Wears Prada! I just found out and I need to get to the Kobo store asap! Here’s my complete summer reading list to keep you busy this summer:

Revenge Wears Prada by Lauren WeisbergerFormer assistant Andy Sachs faces tough decisions now that she is in charge of her own fashion magazine. Here tell that Andy crosses path once again with – you guessed it – Miranda.
Whiskey Beach by Nora Roberts
A criminal attorney turned writer returns to his family estate at Whiskey Beach after his wife’s murder casts a cloud of suspicion on his life. A nice light summer romance and a mystery within a mystery. What could be better?
12 of Never by James Patterson
Detective Lindsay Boxer is back from maternity leave searching for two killers on the loose; Women’s Murder Club Series. Pregnant women kick ass!
Inferno by Dan Brown

A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin

This is a beautiful read. Dora Rare becomes an apprentice to an Acadian midwife, and together they help the women of Scots Bay through infertility, difficult labours, breech births, unwanted pregnancies and even unfulfilling sex lives.
The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story by Lily Koppel
This one just hit the bestseller list. As America’s Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on death-defying missions in the 1960’s, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young wives; today you might call them the real housewives of NASA.
