Some people spend their summers at the beach or on vacation. I spend most of July each summer at book conferences --- my version of tourism business-style. Right now I am at ThrillerFest, the International Thriller Writers Association’s conference, then on to the American Library Association convention tonight and Romance Writers of America next Wednesday, followed by Comic-Con the following week. Getting out to hear from authors, publishers, readers and librarians gives me an excellent opportunity to hear not only about upcoming and recently published books, but also trends and ideas.
What has been your favorite book this summer? (You can name up to three since we know it may be tough to pick just one.)

For something new and different, it’s raining. Imagine that. I slept through the thunder last night. I think it’s become like living in a house near the train track. At some point you just do not hear the train anymore.

I feel like I lived in Seattle for most of the month. The rain has left the New York metropolitan area in a perpetual state of damp, and has prevented me from utilizing my favorite summer reading spot --- my hammock. Thus, when the clouds parted this past weekend I literally ran outside, occasionally looking up to make sure I was not only imagining the sunny sky.
