That's the Dewey call number for true crime, one of the most popular genres/subjects in the library. Not only do we love TV shows like CSI, Law & Order, NCIS, etc. but true crime books like The Devil in the White City, Manhunt and just about any book about the Mafia are always best-sellers.

See how many of these 10 True Crime Books You Won't Be Able To Put Down you've read ~ maybe you've missed a couple of these 'Killer Thrillers'.

You don't have much time left if you want to read three of the most popular books of the past few years BEFORE they come to the big screen this summer.

A favorite historical fiction novel about ancient China, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See, premiered July 15th.

A novel about the French involvement in the Holocaust, Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay, opens in NY this Friday, July 22nd.

Last but certainly not least, the much anticipated movie The Help, based on the best-selling novel by Katherine Stockett set in 1960s Mississippi, will be released August 10th.

My hunch is that the books will still be so much better than the films, but, sometimes we are surprised by a great adaptation, so let's wait and see.

When its hot outside, i like to chill out with my favorite panda friend and explore azeroth. Someday maybe I'll be strong enough to enter the firelands.

We know not to judge a book by it's cover (OK, I'll admit to being influenced by interesting book jackets), but do you know not to judge books by their genre? Some of my best best reads have been from the YA literature genre - The Hunger Games trilogy, Graceling, The Book Thief, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and many more. Don't deprive yourself of a great story by assuming these books are 'too young' for you.

For more young adult reading suggestions, check out the article Hooray For YA: Teen Novels For Readers Of All Ages (Delirium by Lauren Oliver was very good) or this Never Too Old book list.

Summer reading doesn't necessarily mean light, mindless novels read while relaxing poolside. Some people enjoy traveling vicariously by delving into juicy, action packed non-fiction adventure stories. These books, recommended by NPR, are sure to get your adrenaline flowing and pulse racing. And, as the article states, will probably be made into Hollywood blockbusters soon.
