Summer is coming.

No, this isn't meant to be a Game of Thrones reference, but I am talking about books. Summer means binge reading and I have a list of five great novels for you to read this summer. These are from a variety of genres and have been on my 'To Read' shelf for a while.

5. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Red Queen is a young adult dystopian novel about a society where the elite have silver blood and the peasants have red blood. The main character, Mare is thrust into the world of the Silver Palace yet she works with the militant Red Guard. This is the first of a trilogy that has already been published.

4. Map of Fates by Maggie Hall

In this Da Vinci Code-esque thriller, the story of Avery West continues as she tries to discover the mysteries of her long-lost family and their Illuminati-like lifestyle that threatens the world. This is the second installment of a trilogy. The first book is called "The Conspiracy of Us". The third novel "The Ends of the World" comes out this summer.

3. The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

Satan's nephew tries his hardest to damn a woman to hell in this novel written to help explain the spiritual battle we all face every day. Good ole' C.S. Lewis can break down complex topics and make them understandable.

2. Looking for Alaska by John Green

Is it sad that I have yet to read a John Green book? This one I've been told is his best novel. So I really want to read it. Pudge moves to a boarding school and falls in love with a girl that disappears.

1. Generation of the Last Hour by Me

Shameless plug. I wrote this apocalyptic war thriller about a teenage girl named Raquelle Granger who lives in an underground city of American youth at the height of a third world war. An enemy army rolls into the area and as a Council member, she must make the decision of whether they fight or die. It's available for pre-order at barnesandnoble.com and is released May 23.

There you have it, a nice little summer reading list for you to enjoy! What other books are on your shelf?
