Summer Lovin' Reads - What books do you love to read in the summer?
Summer time is a great time for reading. It's the time when many of
us take vacation or head to a cottage or cabin on the weekends. The days
are longer, we get up earlier and so we have some extra time to tuck
into a good book.
When I was growing up, my mum worked in a nursing home as a housekeeper. The old ladies loved her and would give her treats to bring home to her girls, including bags of Harlequin romances! I would spend the entire summer reading those books. Okay, okay, many of them had that formula where the guy is a jerk the entire way through and then lo-and-behold at the end of the book he declares his love for her. But some of them were romantic comedies, my favourites, because the hero and heroine were far more engaging and fun.
Of course summer time was also when I'd get to read all my big fat historical romances - which I've written about before. One summer I went through all of Kathleen Woodiwiss's entire collection. I remember everyone was crazy about Shana but I never liked the heroine. The Wolf and the Dove will always be my favourite.
Summer time was also great for reading horror books like The Amityville Horror
by Jay Anson, but I would always get so scared, I'd end up hiding them
behind the other books on my shelf, so I couldn't see them. One summer I
got into the true story books - Fatal Vision by Joe McGinniss and The Burning Bed
by Faith McNulty. I read a lot of those books. I truly believe that
everything I read as a kid had an impact on me - inspiring me to study
journalism and film, and eventually becoming an editor. :)
I have a big TBR pile of books I want to read this summer, but for now, I'm enjoying reading through manuscripts.
