Long summer days call for a tall stack of books to enjoy — and we’re here to make that stack even taller. Oh, you’re welcome. Just don’t hate us if your lawn or garden grow a little wild while you dive into new fiction from Danielle Steel, Brad Thor, Victoria Thompson, and Lisa Jackson, among others. As they say, you have to ‘read while the sun shines’ (…unless you have a horse, in which case, make hay and read).
Speaking of horses, go along on a wild ride with the youngest (and first female) winner of the world’s longest and most grueling horse race. Then, join Eric Gorges (pronounced ‘gorgeous’), host of the PBS show, A Craftman’s Legacy, as he visits masters of their craft and extols the virtues of working with your hands in a world gone digital. Plus, colleagues remember the late Anthony Bourdain, a daughter honors ‘The Greatest,’ and ‘righteous babe’ Ani DeFranco (that’s her indie record label) shares her story.
If you have young ones, check out the new Dav Pilkey Diary of an Awesome Friendly Kid, the Amulet series, or the new Mr. Lemoncello book. Animal lovers will enjoy Beastly Brains, aspiring chefs will relish Emeril’s worldly book, and budding coders (and Minecraft fans) will love Coding for Minecrafters.
