Bling by Erica Kennedy

Beach reads... I'd definitely put anything by E. Lynn Harris in that category. The first time I read him, I was at the beach and a friend had brought a book of his along. I could NOT put it down!
Cane River by Lalita Tademy is also a good beach read.
Email address is los.angelista@gmail.com and I'll read whatever you send me if I win! :)
Lilith's Brood by Octavia Butler.
It's a perfect summer read given that it's a collection of the entire trilogy of Butler's Xenogenesis novels.
:)
My favorite beach reads are:
The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub
Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
When Death Comes Stealing by Valerie Wilson Wesley
and Third Girl from the Left by Martha Southgate
if I win, I'd like: Children of the Water, Orange Mint, Getting Hers, or Better Than I Know Myself, please, thanks!

Every summer I read:
Mama Day by Gloria Naylor
Their Eyes Were Watching God - Zora!
Waiting in Vain by Colin Channer
Three very different love stories but I love them all.
If I win Orange Mint and Honey or Better Than I Know Myself please
Marlo, Don't mind at all! Thanks for the list.
Doret, I'm reading Black Water Rising now. I love the Kyra Davis title, so I need to check that one out. I liked Bling too!
Los Angelista, So sad that E. Lynn is gone!
Stephanie, There is something satisfying about having all the stories collected, isn't there?
Dsxyfemme, Good adds!
Mimi, Love the idea of re-reading the same book(s) every season!
I got my eye on Unsigned Hype . The Davis books are fun, anyone who likes the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich will like them.
I'm a teenager and I have a few fave beach reads. Hotlanta series, It Chicks series and Drama High series.
adult wise I likd Sula, Cane River, and the No.1 Ladies detective Agency series.
I would leave to read Children of the Waters or Kinky Gazpaucho. Thanks for doing this!
