]]> We’re heading for 90 plus days, so bring on those summer reads. I just finished a Julia Quinn romance, What Happens In London. The title is a perfect indicator of her writing style. The dialogue is improbable for 1800′s England but its funny and clever with a 2010 sensibility. Is Sir Harry Valentine a spy or a murderer? Olivia Bevelstoke has taken to spying on him as well. She has also caught the eye of  Russian Prince Alexei Ivanovich Gomarovsky who may be a spy himself or at best a scoundrel. Take a spin through this engaging Historical Romance.                                It looks like Julia’s doing a live broadcast May 26th at 9 pm Okie time. Julia Quinn is my new favorite romance author (at least  this week). What romance author are you reading?

So while we’re on the topic of Summer Reading, Nancy Pearl did a program at the Public Library Association meeting out in Seattle this March called Book Buzz. Here’s her recommendations, you can’t go wrong with this readaholic library lady. 

It looks like the Brits get that we need a Summer of Science Fiction Reading. May 10th, wish I could have been there.

So start getting your lists ready, temperatures are rising, days are long and television reruns stink.
