I asked, and some of you answered.
In my very first post for the Chinook Update, I wanted to know what you were reading this summer. I got some immediate responses, and figured the rest of the crowd was too busy writing to bother. However, I did get the chance to read six (count 'em!) books since June, and I will put myself out there and share.
1. Daughter of Smoke and Bone, Laini Taylor
2. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Sherman Alexie
3. Amandine, by Adele Griffin
4. Secrets of My Hollywood Life, Jen Calonita
5. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Ann Brashares
6. Naming Maya, Uma Krishnaswami
Here's what some of you wrote in:
Devine Intervention, Martha Brockenbrough (Helen Landalf)
Deception, Patricia Finney (Faith Pray)
The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls, Julie Schumacher (Linda Johns)
Okay, let's hear from more of you! What book(s) are getting you through your summer? Keep those pages turning, and keep churning out those pages of your own. Happy summer, and happy bookin'.

I've been rereading many of the Roald Dahl books. Also, Gregor series, The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series, The Enchantress by Michael Scott, and oodles of picture books. Devine Intervension is also on my soon list.
I just finished Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein. Amazing book! Even if I spent the last two chapters in tears...
Oh, what fun to hear what others have been reading!
I've read UNDERWORLD by Meg Cabot, EXTREMELY LOUD & INCREDIBLY CLOSE by Jonathan Safran Foer, and SMELLS LIKE DOG by Suzanne Selfors. I've also reread a couple favorites in the Commander Toad and Henry & Mudge series.
