Jim Smith's 11th Annual Summer Reading List now open for titles!

Special Notice to Subscribers:

The 2010 Summer Reading List
Nominations NOW OPEN

 
That's right; it's almost time for my ELEVENTH ANNUAL Summer Reading List (SRL).  Each year before I take my two-week vacation on the Atlantic shore I solicit ideas for great new reads that you've discovered over the past year.  I'm looking for titles on COACHING, HAPPINESS, and LEADERSHIP topics as well as great NOVELS and frothy little BEACH BOOKS.  I'm especially interested in new genres, etc, as my reading tastes are eclectic.** I will check them out, make my selections, and then share the compiled list with all of you, so you can make your own Summer Selections at the bookstore.

If you'd like to participate, please note the following four points:

  1. While I welcome the new business titles, I do so much of that all year, so I am STARVING for some great new titles that will help me escape from reality.  Please share what you've discovered!
  2. I need your ideas by Monday, June 1 -- the Tuesday following Memorial Day - in order to give me time to research and get the list published along with the June 23 edition of my newsletter.
  3. Please help me manage my Inbox!  Use this link to make your Subject Line, Summer Reading List 2010.
  4. Include in the text three items: Full Book Title (including subtitle if you have it), Author, and a full paragraph explaining why you liked/recommend the book.

**If you are new to my SRL or want to get started early on your summer reading, you can find the past three years ('07, '08, and my 10th annual, '09) on my Archives Page.

I can't wait to hear your recommendations!  In anticipation, Jim
