I recently noticed that I have not kept up my reading list in the sidebar. I guess I'm not surprised; each year I blog I've tried to do that, and have failed miserably. Maybe I can play catch-up. Slowly. But Shirley.

My summer reads have revolved around Nantucket resident Elin Hilderbrand's novels set on that island. My introduction to Hilderbrand was Blue Bistro, set in an upscale restaurant. Her characters pull you in, and their backstories keep you involved. I've also read The Beach Club, Nantucket Nights, this year's The Love Season (see interview for details on that one). They have all been entertaining summer reads.
