There’s something special about finding the perfect book to bring along on your summer adventures. Discover your next great read with the PBS Books Readers Club. Whether you’re in the mood for a cozy mystery, historical fiction, a richly layered family drama, or a gripping tale of revenge, our hosts have picks perfect for your beach bag, carry-on, or favorite patio chair. A sneak peek into one of Lauren’s picks: “It's set in the 1920s era Detroit amongst the wealthy, powerful auto families... It's this twisty historical mystery about ambition, power and the dangerous secrets hidden behind one wealthy family's glittering facade. Take The Great Gatsby and mix it with Mexican Gothic… and you have a serious page turner in ‘Fortune of Sand’.” Explore this featured pick and the rest of the hosts’ favorite summer selections.
