Birthday Contest Winner

The winner of the birthday contest is:


Melanie said Something, Maybe was a great summer read (she's so right!) And she won on her birthday, so happy birthday Melanie!

Since I asked what everyone's favorite summer reads were, I thought I'd share the answers. Some people like light fluffy romance, where others lean more towards issue books,mysteries and action. Sarah Dessen got the most mentions but Sarah Ockler's debut book Twenty Boy Summer wasn't far behind, so way to go Sarah O! (And yes, I love that two of the top authors share my name!:) The other most popular summer reads author was Meg Cabot.

Post Downton Abbey Reading List

Downton Abbey is over (with a shocking and frustrating ending!) and now I'm suffering Downton Abbey withdrawal. I've got a reading list full of books that I hope will satisfy my post-Downton Abbey cravings and I thought I'd share what's in my pile and get suggestions for other after Downton reads. Here's what I hope to be reading this year (a mix of YA and adult titles):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  A couple Julian Fellowes reads:                And a few re-reads:                    Edited to add: What's on your Post-Downton Abbey reading list?
