Summer is upon us, and that means it is time to put together our summer reads list! Our editors have whittled down their dream beach reads, their "I've been meaning to read this all year" reads, and their "I'm hoping to make time to read this" reads, and put together a pretty solid collection here for you. There's a little something for everyone on this list. So go and find your next adventure on the page!
