Favorite Summer Reads

Just in time for Memorial Day, we’ve had fun compiling our favorite reads. In fact, our book table is positively groaning with new arrivals and it’s not uncommon for us to find a Huffington happily tucked into a corner soaking up some fun new reads.

Speaking of reading nooks, we’d love to curl up with a good book in any of these little spots:

How could we resist this one?  We love David Lebovitz's smart narrative and of course the recipes and photography aren't too bad either.
