So, it’s nearly Memorial Day. And that means it’s time to set the Summer Reads 2014 list! I’ve been doing a summer book reading spree since 2011 (though back then, I didn’t do a good job of posting the list or providing thorough reviews…I barely remember reading half the books I read!).

On this list for this year:

• Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen
• Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation by Michael Pollan
• High Rise Stories: Voices from Chicago Public Housing (Voice of Witness) by Audrey Petty
• Cat Food for Thought by Warren Dotz
• The Lover by Marguerite Duras
• Box Girl: My Part Time Job as an Art Installation by Lilibet Snellings
• The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
• A Hundred Summers by Beatriz Williams
• The Last Summer of the Camperdowns: A Novel by Elizabeth Kelly
• The Swan Gondola: A Novel by Timothy Schaffert

Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favorite authors, so I am starting with her book first.

What are you reading this summer?
