Summer is finally here, dear readers. Which means the paperbacks that have been staring longingly from the bookshelf, McNally Jackson bookmark marking the title page, are about to get their moments in the sun. I’m already plotting what to read on vacation in August. And what wine to pair it with.

Here’s what you missed this week:

• In the spirit of the Summer Solstice, here are a few short titles you could have read on the longest day of the year, or save for that bus/train/plane ride. (Quirk Books)
• Send this to your aunt who loves Susan Lucci. (LitHub)
• This will help you avoid any guest house faux pas during your summer travels. (The Guardian)
• If you have a mid-year review coming up, read these and know nothing your boss could tell you would be worse than this. (LitHub)

Cheers,

EV
