Good Summer Reads, Part 1

Now that nice weather has FINALLY arrived, it's time to pick something good to read at the beach or outside on the deck or, well, anywhere really. And, as luck would have it, some bloggin' buddies have recently released interesting and entertaining books which I can highly recommend!


M. L. Madison of Riot Kitty has written a charming ebook for kids of all ages called The Adventures of Black Jack Pepper. Her brother Nik Houser did the illustrations so this book is a real family project. It's all about a little girl, her kid brother, their endlessly patient Dad and (HRH likes this part) their cat! The heroine has many fun misadventures involving lobsters, polar bears, plumbers, Santa Claus and the police. It's fast-paced and action-packed!  Click here to go to its Amazon link.


If adult reading is more what you're after, G. B. Miller of Cedar's Mountain has written a novel that is a terrific blend of several genres -- sci-fi, fantasy, paranormal, erotica, mystery -- Line 21 has it all! Jeannie's basic dilemma is that she must pay off the family loan shark but she has no money. Then an unexpected business opportunity presents itself. Oh my goodness! Line 21 is available both in paperback and ebook versions -- click here to go to Amazon's paperback link.

Tomorrow -- a couple more good books!

Thanks for the recommendations. The first one looks adorable and second, hot. I want that body, but I'll take the money instead.

I don't know what to say about the cover of that book......

I have a problem with reading, lately. The minute I pick up a book, my eyes slowly go to sleep... Can't stay awake past the first 5 minutes. I guess that's a good thing/used to suffer from insomnia.

I'm planning on making lots of trips to the park this summer to do some reading.

These both sounds fun!!! I love the idea of reading a kids book. :)

They both sound terrific. Summer reading is a must --- outdoors while listening to the sounds of nature!

Love that illustration!

Cperz said...

Aren't you such a good blogger buddy to give us the heads up on other bloggers books.

I will check them both out.

Being partially blind in one eye and not able to see great with the other, you can't imagine how nice it is to read the new font you have chosen! Thank yew! Thank-yew! Looking forward to more book reviews!

The grown up book looks like a must read for me- having said that, I now have Odin and childrens books are back on the shopping list again. I get scared to hear people refer to books as things of the past. Nothing is as good as a good book. Lisa x

Mistress Maddie said...

I have alot of reading of books to do, but it won't happen in the warmer months, as I don't have the attention span. But if the book is tattooed on the back of a muscular boy....well then......

Erotica... I will never forget when I was 14 and found one of those books at my grandpa's house and would hide in the library reading them as though I was committing a mortal sin. Ah fun days!

Riot Kitty said...

Thanks so much for the shout-out! Very nice of you.

I love how you summed it up.

I think I should finish reading "This book is full of spiders" by David Wong first.

Vision By Mila said...

I'm in for a new read! I'm into crime lately.. :D And chick lit every now and then!

Melanie said...

How exciting...now for me to get a minute to read...I miss it so!!

G. B. Miller said...

Debra, many thanks for the shout out and I'm very glad that you've enjoyed it.

To the other commenter, I'm not that other writer, but that does sound like a good book to read.

I can't get that book cover image out of my head now! Guess that was the intention!

Deborah said...

WOW! Such talented friends you have. Still enjoying your new blog look.

**kisses** Deb
