If you haven’t caught on, I do a version of this “summer beach reads” story every year, but it works. Why? Because new books are always published, and people always want something to read while sitting on the sand.

This year, I wrote the piece for New Jersey Monthly along with one of my editors, and we picked books that all have some connection to New Jersey. Two I’ve reviewed here already on the blog: Simply From Scratch by Alicia Bessette and The Edge of Ruin by Irene Fleming.

If you’re looking for more beach reads, I suggest you check out the piece, or scroll through the reviews I’ve written here over the last six months. Many of those books are now out on bookshelves, and well worth a look.
