Summer reading list suggestions

Looking for a fun read this summer? Here are some fun books I've enjoyed over the past few years. Thanks to the friends who loaned me several of these (Paul and Melissa) and gifted them to me (Christian).

Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey
The story of a young vigilante. Thrilling and funny.

The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde
Pretty much custom-built for the English major's sense of humor, this the first in a hilarious series about a "literary detective" in an alternate-reality, circa-1985 Britain.

Fool by Christopher Moore
This bawdy, joyful retelling of "King Lear" from the fool's perspective really made me laugh.

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
Kind of fantasy-lite, this follows the story of a legendary hero from his perspective.

Abarat by Clive Barker
A young outcast in Minnesota is transported to a nonsensical world where each island is stuck at a different hour of the day.

Earthly Delights by Kerry Greenwood
A sexy mystery novel featuring a snarky baker.
