Summer Reading List

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!

They're pretty easy reads, but I couldn't put it down (may be partially due to the fact that I am sometimes a sucker for romance). It's a book that's starting to gain a lot of popularity, but I'm not sure how far it's gotten into the book world of adults.
Here's the little summary/blurb put on the back cover of 'Twilight'-It kinda explains it better than I can:
About three things I was absolutely positive:
First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him–and I didn’t know how dominant that part might be–that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.

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.
