Whatcha Readin'?

Summer is my favorite time to read. Even as a child and teen I would voraciously devour at least a book a week. Since my job is changing and I have NO idea what I will be doing, I feel motivated to submerge myself in various subgroups of fiction and nonfiction. I just might sit on the couch all day and partake decadently in a Harry Potter novel as I did in the days before children. Below is a list of books I might get to read all the way through ( oh yes, I have started many a book in the last 2.5 years only to have it become covered in dust and the bookmark removed so that I have to start all the way over again.)
Also, if you have suggestions, I would LOVE to hear them. And now, in no particular order, my summer reading list-ish:
Harry Potter # 5, 6 & 7 (YEAH RIGHT! If I get through 5 I'll be happy!)
Confessions of a Slacker Mom
Scream-Free Parenting
How to Have A Mary Heart in a Martha World
God is Closer Than You Think
The Secret Lives of Girls
Hoot
The Freedom Writers

I will probably add and subtract as I receive responses or change my mind. What's on your list or coffee table?

Anything by Maeve Binchy really good. (Circle of Friends, the one I'm reading now is Quentins). Next on my list is chick lit titled "the Alphabet Sisters"

Let me know if you're interested in any of those and I'll send them your way! I don't have any of the others on your list!
