b'SUMMER READINGBy Andrea Peskind Katz | ContributorMy favorite time of year for reading is here!There is NOTHING better than this crop of novels, which are simply perfect for pool or beach! Add these sizzling books to your summer reading list. FABULOUS FICTIONThe incomparable Jennifer Weiner has a new novel, Mrs. Everything and it is EVERYTHING you want in a novel. Jane Greens newest, The Friends We Keep, is SO good. Jamie Brenners newest, Drawing Home, is her best yet. The Bride Test by Helen Hoang is HOT like the weather! To me, it is not summer until the new Elin Hilderbrand comes out. She again delights with Summer of 69. Mary Kay Andrews, the Queen of Summer Books, hits it out of the park yet again with Sunset Beach.FOR THE THRILLER LOVERSI read both of these books literally in one-sitting. Dear Wife by Kimberly Belle is simply compelling with an OMG ending. Kaira Rouda again delivers a wickedly perfect thriller with The Favorite Daughter.FOR THE HISTORICAL FICTION CROWDLauren Willigs The Summer Country takes us to a sugar plantation in 1950s Barbados. Resistance Women by Jennifer Chiaverini is the story of the womens resistance in 1930s Berlin.Editors Note: Andrea Peskind Katz has a book review website at Greatthoughts.com and a Book Salon comprised of over 4,000 readers and authors at www.facebook.com/groups/greatthoughtsgreatreaders.
