Tuesday Tea: What's your favorite summer read EVER?
Tell us about the book that grabbed you and won't let go
My answer to this question might be a little bit of a cheat, but here we are.
My favorite summer read is whatever the latest Gabriel Allon espionage novel by Daniel Silva happens to be. He releases a new one every July; the next installment is An Inside Job (the 25th in the series) and will be out on 15 July.
Dave and I will be on our trip to the States, enjoying one of our ‘air lock’ days — stops at nondescript hotels in untouristy towns to break up long drives and relax. I will lie on the hotel bed with the air conditioning on full blast, get lost in Gabriel Allon’s new adventure, and, with luck, at some point take a break to eat a Caesar salad and french fries, a.k.a. the best meal you can have delivered by room service.
Not a summer book per se, but a core summer memory. I turned 14 and my mom handed me her well thumbed paperback copy of Gone with the Wind. I curled up on a comfy chair and got lost in that world (and developed a huge crush on Rhett Butler).
The Shellseekers. I've wanted to summer in Cornwall ever since!
