It’s Summertime and the Reading is Easy…

It’s Summertime and the reading is easy. Summer is the best time of year for book lovers, whether on the beach, on a long transcontinental flight, the car, or a lounge chair by the pool, we look forward to curling up with a delectable book. I still prefer “real books”, but I have slowly transitioned to a Kindle. I do appriciate the anonymity of reading an e-reader book, one that you may not want your seat mate to see ie. Fifty Shades of Grey, and the ease of traveling without having to carry a stack of books. I still occasionally splurge on beautiful coffee table books and art books. My list is varied and perhaps there is something that will peak your interest.

“If you’re looking to get married and you’re not, there’s most likely a very good reason: you.”

“A hilarious look at the complexities of contemporary racial politics and personal identity.”

“Fendi celebrates the iconic Baguette Bag with the worldwide launch of its dedicated Baguette Book.”

“Prodigiously researched, American Tapestry traces the complex and facinating tale of Michelle Obama’s ancestors, a history the First Lady did not even know herself.”

Catcher in the Rye is on my son’s reading list, so I decided he and I could have a little mommy son book club experience.

“Edwards elegantly braids together the lives of three people whose entangled love for the same woman turns sour in this gut-wrenching and gorgeously lyrical debut novel”

New Poet Laureate Natasha Tretheway reflects on the south.

“Tayari Jones, has chosen an unusual structure to reveal her story of two African-American teenage girls sharing the same father in the same Georgia Town” This is my book club selection for next month.

 

“This haunting and soul-stirring novel about apocalypse is transformative and unforgettable.”

“A compelling novel of desire, secrecy, and sexual identity, In One Person is a story of unfulfilled love–tormented, funny, and affecting–and an impassioned embrace of our sexual differences.”

What is on your summer reading list?
