Overview

June’s here, and the books are getting restless. Whether you’re poolside, bedside, or hiding in front of a fan with a popsicle and a dream, it’s time to crack some spines and clear some shelves. Ten books. One month. No time for maybe-laters.

Suns out, books out. Let’s read like it’s a competitive sport.
