Summer Reading List

[doc_3]

Okay... so I haven't had a summer reading list since 11th grade, but it really seems like a good idea.  I really get into a rut with my reading; usually books for my bookclubs aren't ones I would have picked so other than those I tend to read a lot of the same authors over and over.  I'd love to compile a list to get through these next few months, so if anyone has any suggestions, I really hope you'll share.  Right now, on the burner I have:

Nineteen Days by Jodi Piccoult 
Son of a Witch by Gregory Maguire

Once I've got a list I'll publish it, and anyone that wants to join me I'd love it!

Oooh, I'm so intrigued. I'm a sucker for romance too, and after my three month immersion into the whole 'Angel' series, I'm an even bigger sucker for vampire romance.

Nora Roberts has a trilogy called the 'Circle trilogy' that starts with 'Morrigan's Cross', then 'Dance of the Gods', followed by 'Valley of Silence', that I highly recommend. It's her best in the supernatural/romance genre. She makes the idea of witches, slayers, vampires (both good and bad), etc., seem so plausible that it doesn't even seem like fiction.

Oooh, I'll definitely have to add those to my list of 'to read' books! Sounds very intruiging :D

I definitely will have to watch at least one episode of 'Angel' at some point, I've never seen one before.

I definitely recommend giving 'Angel' a try. It's an acquired taste, but I really enjoyed it. The first two seasons were a little bit lighter than the last three, but the 5th season was my favorite. let me know what you think if you ever decided to check it out.

I'll have to netflix it ;)

Will it matter that I haven't watched Buffy before?

From what I've been told, you have a slightly different perspective if you've watched Buffy, but I never did and I think I'm glad. I got to know Angel, the character, and the others from BtVS (Cordy and Wes) as I watched 'Angel', instead of having preconceived notions of them. They give a lot of backstory during 'Angel', so you won't ever feel like you don't know what's going on. Let me know what you think!
