I recently went on a trip to the coast and was yet again, sucked into the "Staff Pick" section of the one and only bookstore I wandered into while on vacation. I could have browsed for hours, reading each and every little review on each of the books, but as I was only allowed a 30-minute slot to meander around the book store (gee, thanks COVID!) I browsed as quickly as I could and still came away with some amazing finds (including one not book but must bookish have!)

We're diving in today into one of the first books I read this summer; Elin Hilderbrand's Summer of '69 published by Little Brown. This book was such a good book to kick off the summer; with a hint of historical fiction as the book is based during the Vietnam War, and a whole lot of realness and humanness in each of the characters. It was a light and easy read with enough plot twists to keep you wanting more all while each characters struggles and hurdles made them oh so relatable.

Looking for the best audiobooks for summer road trips? Look no further; because in today's episode; I'm bringing you the TOP FOUR AUDIOBOOKS YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO!

Okay, okay, I get that this topic may seem down and dreary for some summer reads, but hear me out. Growing up in the home of a parent who immigrated here to the US from Germany, with grandparents who grew up during WW2 in Germany, I've always been drawn to stories about this time in history. And, with everything going on in the world, maybe one of the best things we can do is to look back and learn from history instead of removing and trying to forget (or worse deny) that it ever happened.

For all the book lovers, impulsive book buyers and dreamers of the perfect book nooks around the world, my name is Heather and I'm bringing you weekly book reviews, literary world news, rants, and tangents about all things books and a cozy space for your bookish soul to curl up with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and feel at home.
