Book recommendations!

This post is not really about my family, but really more about me on the quest to find a good summer book to read.
I was in the grocery store the other day and walked down the aisle that has the magazines and books, when I caught a whiff of the paperbacks. You know that smell. It immediately brought back wonderful memories of spending summers with my nose stuck in a glorious page turner. I realized then how much I wanted to find a really great book to read, and to find the time to read it! I started, of course on that aisle in the grocery store and was quickly disappointed. Seriously, I am not at all interested in a book about some kid's right of passage or blood sucking vampires! I guess as I have gotten older and wiser, or more cynical, I am just not up for wasting several weeks of my life on something that is not life changing.
If you have any good recommendations, please send them my way. As I have said before, I am not really a Nicholas Sparks fan, or a Danielle Steele fan. I am taking my kids to the public library today so maybe I will have some luck!

I just finished "eat, pray, love" and it was really good! And I also read "A Girl Named Zippy" which was funny. "Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society" was AWESOME, if you like historical fiction. I'll try to think of some more. I have been in the same mode since we just went to the beach!
