Dying To Ask

Our 2025 Summer Beach Reads Episode

Listen Later

It's time for our annual "Summer Beach Reads" episode on Dying to Ask. The 2025 summer titles will not disappoint.

Tina Ferguson, owner of Face in a Book bookstore, is back as our guide to all things literary.

Tina and I have been doing a beach reads segment or podcast episode for 10 years now. And her pics this summer are a delightful blend of non-fiction and fiction.

But our episode starts with a reality check on what the publishing industry looks like these days. Are people reading as much as they were during COVID-19 after they finished Netflix? Are romance sales as steamy as they were last year? Is Mark Twain about to follow in Hamilton's steps and be the next great musical thanks to a hot new offering from Ron Chernow?

Don't miss this episode and please be sure to share it with your bookish friends and book clubs!

Titles mentioned:
  • "Headshot"
  • "Glorious Exploits"
  • "River of Lies"
  • "We Solve Murders"
  • "Mark Twain"
  • "Tartufo"
