In this week’s “Summer Reading” edition of Friday Five! we celebrate summer reads. We asked our BookSparks pals what they’re reading (and what they can’t wait to start). Now we’re sharing their picks with you. So grab that beach towel, soak up some sun and happy reading!

What’s on my iPod: Fly By Night by Rush
What I’m reading: Inferno by Dan Brown
The last person I followed on Twitter: @LifeIsBeautiful
