Saxton Reads! & Reviews

I love summertime as the reading is easy; that's to say book groups are on hiatus and I get to read anything my heart desires. Don't get me wrong. I always enjoy the book group books but as I am a slow reader I frequently can only fit in the two for discussion in any given month. 

So now that I've got all this free reading time the question becomes "What should I read?". Megan asked our facebook fans what they would be reading on the beach this summer. My answer was the old "LOL, what's a beach". In all seriousness I've got more on my list than I could read in a lifetime, never mind this summer. So why are all you bloggers, publishers, magazines and others posting all these great lists of the best summer reads to entice me?

 Here's a few of the lists I've found. Why should I be the only one overwhelmed by all the choices. And if you've got a list of your own or even just a book that's not to be missed, please feel free to add it here.

 Get out the sun tan lotion, find a nice sunny spot and read!
