Goodreads asked B.R. Maul:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

B.R. Maul I have two I am looking forward to reading this summer.

The first is "A Monster Calls" by Patrick Ness. This is a powerful story! After seeing the movie and learning that Patrick Ness wrote both the book and the screenplay, I ran and picked up a copy (and when I say "ran" I mean go to my computer and "picked up a copy" is pushing the Purchase Now button on Amazon). The story behind this story is equally as fascinating because Patrick Ness wrote the book based on an idea from Siobhan Dowd, who past away in 2007.

The second book is "Star Wars: Lost Stars" by Claudia Gray. It's one of the few manuscripts (apparently) that made it through Walt Disney's purchase of the Star Wars rights from Lucas. Many of the other manuscripts were put aside. It ties in nicely.
