The Summer Beach Read is often referred to as a “guilty-pleasure,” but make no mistake - you'll find no guilt here. The definition of a great page-turner is that they are so brilliantly written you can’t put them down. They're the book equivalent of a good friend who hangs by the pool with you all afternoon, the friend who is easy-going, delightfully fun, and maybe just a little bit bonkers. When the days are hot and the afternoons are lazy, the best summer books sweep us away to escape in romance, mystery, sci-fi, or satire, even when there’s no beach or pool in sight.
Rebecca Leber-Gottberg of Rediscovered Books in Boise shared some great titles for your summer reading list that includes some hilarity, a cozy mystery, and a riveting fantasy. Our brains need a break, and they deserve a long vacation from anything too dark, too messy, or too stressful (unless that's your jam, in which case Rebecca can offer up some deliciously dark suggestions, too).
More indulgent than a box of chocolates; more relaxing than a nap; more fun than a pillow fight. Join me by the pool and bring something tall and cold to drink.
