Ellen Mirabile Water for Elephants Rosalie Sambuco A Thousand Splendid Suns April Lemesh I think it will be A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Kahled Hosseini Linda Maxine Williams LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN by Janet Evanovich Jeanine Pappas A Thousand Splendid Suns Monica Jordan I think THE MANNY will be the "big book." Everywhere I turn, people are talking about it. It's even the beach bag contest book this time. Loretta Sanford Janet Evanovich's LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN Kathie Coleman A Thousand Splendid Suns Michelle Miller MIDDLESEX by Jeffrey Eugenides--- of course! With Oprah's endorsement and a great author to boot, what else could it be?!? Dianne Proabably A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS Maureen A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini Becky A Thousand Splendid Suns Beth Cummings A Thousand Splendid Suns Linda M. Johnson A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaleid Hosseini Suzanne I think A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS will be the one that I remember. As soon as I finished, I wanted to share it, and talk about it with a friend. I passed the book to my daughter, and she called to talk about it before she had even finished reading. Sunny A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini sheralk1 THE WHEEL OF DARKNESS by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and THE JUDAS STRAIN by James Rollins Richard Bartels A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini Patricia O'Donnell A Thousand Splendid Suns Patty Blackwell STEP ON A CRACK by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge Maggie A Thousand Splendid Suns Connie Tritt A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini --- excellent work Linda A Slott A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini Gerald Rosen North River Fran MIDDLESEX... because Oprah picked it. Nancy Filer A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS and LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN Norine Gremse THE MANNY by Holly Peterson, HOW TO TALK TO A WIDOWER by Jonathan Tropper and NORTH RIVER by Pete Hamill, I realize that this is overkill, however, you need one for sizzly laughs and fun, one for chuckles and a little heartbreak. And who can resist Pete Hamill? Julie Peterson A Thousand Splendid Suns Sharlynda Dehnel I definitely think that the big book of the summer, other than HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, will be Janet Evanovich's new book, LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN. I am reading it now, and so far, it is the perfect summer read. It is extremely funny; her funniest book so far. I started laughing on the first page, and have not stopped yet! It is a great, light, fun summer read! I would recommend it to anyone who needs a lift. I have been reading all of P. J. Parrish's books and am currently on the next to last one in the series --- so far. Evanovich has certainly provided me a perfect departure from the darkness of the Parrish series. They are the best books I've read in a long time, but I needed a definite book to lighten the heart and mood, and Evanovich's latest has certainly done that! Louise Pledge James Patterson's THE 6TH TARGET Louise Pledge A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini Sue I really think that it's too soon to tell, but based on what's currently out there, I would say A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini would be the most memorable. The story of two women in a world where women have no rights is memorable, sad and haunting. Ellen Whitney The Manny Mary LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN by Janet Evanovich Kim Kovacs A Thousand Splendid Suns Madeline A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini Bev Haas The 6th Target Lindy The QUICKIE by James Patterson and Michael Ledwidge Kitty Szaro LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN by Janet Evanovich Chastity Jackson LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN by Janet Evanovich Maureen Back on Blossom Street BK LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN Janet Evanovich Leslie McLeod A Thousand Splendid Suns Dianne THE INVENTION OF HUGO CABRET by Brian Selznick. Amazing! Eileen Quinn Knight A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS will be the Big Book of Summer 07! I think many are intrigued by the author since he gave us such a wonderful picture of male relationships in THE KITE RUNNER. This book explores the relationship of two woman in a culture that is not familiar to many of us. I really like the development of the characters and the understanding I got about how they know themselves. Jane Haase A Thousand Splendid Suns Audri Carr On Chesil Beach Susan W LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN by Janet Evanovich Lisa Schnaidt A Thousand Splendid Suns Steven Schwindt A Thousand Splendid Suns Leanne A Thousand Splendid Suns Jean Kruse A Thousand Splendid Suns Amado Nunez A Thousand Splendid Suns Cathy Doyle THE JUDAS STRAIN by James Rollins Mary Marquardt New England White Tara O'Donnell FREE FOOD FOR MILLIONAIRES by Min Jin Lee Carol A Thousand Splendid Suns AnneMarie DeRemer The Memory Keeper's Daughter Anita Yancey Lean Mean Thirteen Susan A Thousand Splendid Suns Janice Gatewood The Manny!!! Donna Scott Probably, Janet Evanovich's LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN or, possibily, Khaled Hosseini's A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS. Vickie James Patterson's books: THE 6TH TARGET, MAXIMUM RIDE: SAVING THE WORLD AND OTHER EXTREME SPORTS, and THE QUICKIE ck A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini Tim Barnes SWIMMING LESSONS by Mary Alice Monroe Linda Huson A Thousand Splendid Suns Kathy Vieira I believe the other big book of the summer will be A THOUSAND SPLENDID SUNS by Khaled Hosseini, author of THE KITE RUNNER. Word of mouth dictates that this is the most anticipated book of the summer.
