The Summer Reading List

So, due to 5 days without my laptop, and not much to do for leisure aside from lots of gardening, a trip to the library was in order last week. And a very small library resulted in not having a very worthwhile selection of fiction to choose from without planning ahead and ordering things in. But they do have a few Agatha Christies, and now I'm hooked. So my summer reading list is mostly short pleasure books(aside from Sheen and Mallory). But here it is in all its length, and I'm sure it will continue to grow.
