So, since Summer is all about relaxing with your favorite things, we’ve got our summer divided up into best summer boxes: sweet treats, beach days, backyard BBQs, carnivals and best of all, BOOKS! With 18 weeks of reading and 20 different books, we’ve got your summer reading covered. On top of the best books of summer, we’ve got monthly giveaways and grand prizes plus some super secret treats to make this#SRC2016 the #BestSummerEver!

 

Here’s what we’re reading this month:

 

Popsicles, cotton candy, triple-scooped ice cream cones – summertime is all about stealing a few moments with delicious sweet treats and delectable reads. Kick the summer off with a sweet love story by Emily Giffin, travel to sunny Los Angeles in The House of Bradbury or head to Manhattan and dive into the life of Tina Fontana in The Assistants. Still craving another treat? Try Sheila Grinell’s book Appetite for a sweet and sour story. Then, curl up for the weekend with the suspenseful new book from Mary Kubica.
