I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Nothing complements a beach day better than a great page-turner. I tend to read more during the summer than any other season. It might be because I’m a little more relaxed, because I travel more, or because there are just more hours of daylight. Either way, I love crossing some great books off my list during the summer months. And today, I’m going to share the titles on this year’s list with all of you.
