Librarian Nancy Pearl Picks Summer's Best Books

Summer is a great time to cozy up with some good books, and, boy, do I have some fantastic suggestions for you!

The following are a few of my favorite recent reads. Despite their differences of plot, settings and genre, what I love about each one of these books is the same: the voice of the narrator. These narrators are so compelling, so engaging, so real that I resented each moment I wasn't reading them. I hope you enjoy their company as much as I did.
