Little Tea by Claire Fullerton ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
"There’s a damp, verdant feel to Olive Branch, Mississippi, in the summertime. From the side of the road, everything is a chiaroscuro of overgrown, tangled green. Moss drips sultry from kudzu-covered oaks, shading twists of the road in canopies of diamond-dappled sunlight. The world there is flat, expansive, and quiet, evoking a mood both eerie and somber. One step outside Ava’s car and I knew I was out of sync with the environment. I figured I’d need to slow down, ease into the heat, try it on for a spell." (p 16)

How I Got My Reading Groove Back
by Donna Huber
When the pandemic took hold in March, my reading went out the window. I know that happened to a lot of people. Too much uncertainty and information coming a mile a minute left me without the concentration for reading a book. But slowly I've gotten my reading groove back. If you are still struggling, perhaps these tips will help.

4 Thrillers for Summer Chills
by MK French
Thrillers come in all different styles but they all have one goal - to make your pulse race. On this list of thrillers, there are a couple of ghost thrillers that would be great for a summer camp out read. The other two, a domestic thriller and a romantic thriller, will be a great addition to your beach bag.

Girls of Summer by Nancy Thayer ~ a Review
by Donna Huber
A few weeks ago Susan mentioned which book signals the start of summer. For me, summer starts when I have in my hands Nancy Thayer's latest beach read. As this weekend is the unofficial start of summer in the U.S., it is fitting that Girls of Summer hits shelves on Tuesday.

The Red Lotus by Chris Bohjalian ~ a Review
by Susan Roberts
"And maybe it was those two words - anything's possible - but another revelation was beginning to appear through the mist in her mind, racing like a distant corsair on the horizon, and just as unnerving. This one, however, didn't strike her as quite so delusional...'Austin did lie. But he lied because he needed an excuse to come here. To come to this part of Vietnam.'" (page 88)
