I for one thought that AI played a great practical joke on us with the summer reading list that caused such a kerfuffle a couple of weeks ago. The fake titles by the real authors were spot-on! But having been laboring away for months on summer reading lists for People, Kirkus, Oprah and Newsday, I can share some more solid recommendations. The links go to Bookshop.org and Libro, both of which support local bookstores. Or you can walk in the door and support them live and in person.
