No pleasure, no rapture, no exquisite sin greater than central air.

It's been awhile since my last post, but we can blame it on the heat. Which, btw, I LOVE!

What else is there to do on these hot days but read? I've finished Rumors, which was really good....way better than most sequels. Sad too. But it has a great setup for the third book, Envy. I can't wait to see the dress on the cover! Gigs totally recommends picking up these book for some lazy summer reading.

Also read the new one by Mary Higgins Clark, Where Are You Now?--BLECH. How boring. Don't waste your time.

What's next? Glad you asked! Saving Juliet, Reincarnation, and The Given Day (yes, that would be the new Dennis Lehane book) What's that? It doesn't come out until September!!??!?! Yes, well I am reading what we in the industry call and ARC (Advanced Reader's Copy) Stay tuned for my exclusive review! (tho, it may be awhile...this baby is intense!)

But reading is not just limited to books. I also read websites! Here are a few of my new favs:

If you were a fan of the Sweet Valley books, you MUST read The Dairi Burger. Our blogger has set out to re read all the books in the series, and post her commentaries, complete with snarky comments. Hawt. Caution: Beware of snorting laughter. This may 0r may not be appropriate Reference Desk reading.

You know all those great stories you have about working in a library? Scott Douglas posted his online. He has his own blog, and also posts on McSweeney's Internet Tendenancies. I strongly urge you to read the latter. He also just published a book, Quiet Please.

Gigs has a wedding this weekend (no, not her own) but that of Gig's DD contributer, Mr. J! Yes, ladies, he is taken! No, Gigs will not be wearing the Luxe Dress--that's for her OWN wedding!
