Dear Pep Talkers...
Welcome to Summer reading Season! Our annual Best Beach Bag Books episode came out two weeks ago, right when I was down with Covid. Usually, we like to celebrate these special episodes with a. little pomp and circumstance. But I wasn’t able to Pomp my way through that virus. So, I’m circling back to give those books and author the circumstance they are due!
We love books, we love reading and we love authors. And we know you do, too! This week’s Pep Talk is a celebration of our Best Beach Bag Books list over the years. You can read and listen to this year’s list. But I’ve also included links to other lists and episodes with authors from the 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018 lists.
Remember, those books are still great—and probably out in paperback now!
Also, find the link for my last two Crowdcast Bring Your Own Book Club discussions on June 1. I’ll be taking the summer off these book clubs, so this is your last chance to dish about Lost and Found in Paris before the heart hits.
I wish you a meaningful Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a great time to discover a book!
