Just finished the second book in my Summer reading pile.

The first was a cozy mystery featuring Beatrix Potter, "The Tale Of Hill Top Farm". It was the first in a series and I have ordered the second from my local independent book store. The setting was rich and the characters enjoyable. It was a quick, light read.

My second choice was very out of character for me, It is called "Graveminder" by Melissa Marr and I read a review of it at Booktribe. I had to read the book with my hands over my eyes, a difficult task indeed... as I do not like scary... not one bit.... I couldn't even read the "Twilight" books at bedtime. I read Graveminder in two days... even though I couldn't read it in bed. I enjoyed the book and even though it wrapped up at the end, I can see it being a series. I felt that there was more story to tell... the author left quite a few things open and a few of her characters unfinished, however I would recommend it. Had a theme of family and duty and a very different take on the afterlife. Most readers won't find it a scary book... I really didnt either. Just a little touch of the paranormal, but for me.... best read in direct sunlight
