Goodreads asked M.A. Notaras:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

M.A. Notaras I have to admit I'm not a list maker - more of an impulsive book grabber as I walk past the shelf! At the moment I'm enjoying reading "City of Endless Night" by Milo Hastings (written in 1918 but eerily prescient today) and newly published "The Urban Farmer" by Justin Calverley & Ceres (I love food gardening). Current (out loud) bed time reading to my 8 and 12 year old kids is the classic "Pollyanna" by Eleanor H. Porter, and we are finding this book a real hoot. It lends itself to funny voices, and Pollyanna's ridiculously relentless positivity (in the face of actually a quite despairing situation) is hilarious. While we read Pollyanna, my 10 yo is devouring "The Sisters Grim: The Problem Child" by Michael Buckley - middle grade fantasy just finished by my 8yo (which she LOVED) - and I'll read it next! Guess I do have a list after all :)
