Do you have a summer reading list? I have for as long as I can remember. It seems to be the time of year where I can carve out several hours, connected together, for the sheer pleasure of getting lost in a story. As a child, if it was a really hot Texas day, you could find me curled up in our living room reading one of my Nancy Drew mysteries!
As I’ve been on a reading tear lately, I thought I would share my summer reading recommendations with you over the coming months.
Just released on May 31st, A Hundred Summers, is the 2nd book by Beatriz Williams. Educated at Stanford and Columbia, Beatriz spent years on Wall Street before she settled down to raise her 4 children in nearby Greenwich, CT and stake out a spot at her local Starbucks, where she churns out her page turning novels!
Beatriz set her story in an idyllic ocean front community in Rhode Island, very similar to Watch Hill. It’s 1938 and the story of New York socialite, Lily Dane, her former best friend, Budgie and her former fiancé, Nick Greenwald, are in for a summer of cataclysmic emotions…just as a 100 year hurricane bears down upon them.
The characters are from Beatriz’s imagination, but the hurricane was real.
If you order it today, you’ll have it in time for the weekend! Please let me know if you read it and what you thought!
You’re in for a treat!
Thanks for the recommendation sounds like a book I would love! I too equate lazy summer days with reading and catching up, I made a goal to read 4 books, hopefully more but I feel that's realistic. I will surely be adding this to my list.
Enjoy what promises to be another spectacular day!
I have A Hundred Summers on the tippy top of my pile and I am so looking forward to reading it!! It is right up my alley. I'm so excited that you are supporting authors!!! 😉
Reading is one of my most favorite things to do! I just wish I could MAKE the time to sit and do it a lot more than I do! I am definitely going to pick this book up! It sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing!
This sounds like my kind of book. Will go over and order it on Amazon. Thanks for the tip.
Elizabeth, I can't wait to pick up this book. Thanks for the recommendation. I think I'll save it for a weekend when we don't have much going on and I can gobble it up in a couple marathon sessions. I just finished "The Suitors" which was fun and "Tomorrow there will be Apricots" which I unexpectedly fell in love with. Happy summer reading! XO
We just downloaded Revenge Wears Prada for a quick trip to Knoxville this weekend – not much airplane time but long layovers! We'll definitely explore your pick and add it to the summer reading list.

Definitely adding this to my "wish list" now…have to support a home town author! I am currently reading "Dual Inheritance" – it's very good. Also enjoyed "Inferno", "The Last Camellia" and "Looking For Me". Happy Reading!! xoxo
This looks like a great book and hopefully I'll be spending some lazy days at the beach with book in hand…thanks for the recommendation!!
Thanks for your recommendation Elizabeth. I'n ordering a couple now and I'll add this up my list!

That sounds like a great beach read!! I don't have time to research anymore…so appreciate suggestions!!
Just stopping by to say thank you for your lovely words, Elizabeth! It was a pleasure to see you at the Greenwich Library last night, and I'm delighted you've put A Hundred Summers on your reading list. And thanks to all of Elizabeth's fans who have done the same – I do hope you enjoy the book (preferably on the beach with a nice cool drink at your side! 🙂 ). Happy reading!!
I am adding it to mine now! thanks for the tip!
