A warm summer day sitting beneath the shade of a tree or a beach umbrella with a tall cold drink at the ready and a juicy book waiting to be read — what could be better? We’ll talk to booksellers from Booksmith and Green Apple Books as well as Oakland-based novelist Jasmine Guillory about what they are reading this summer, and we’ll hear from you: When you’re not doom scrolling, what’s on your must read list for this summer? Any recommendations for a romance novel for the newly divorced? Or a beach read for someone who doesn’t like the beach? We’ll talk about new releases, old favorites and classics that have earned their place on your bookshelf.

Guests:

Jasmine Guillory, novelist and writer, her latest book is "Flirting Lessons" - her work has appeared in O, The Oprah Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Bon Appetit, and Time

Camden Avery, co-owner and book buyer, Booksmith, an independent bookstore in the Haight
