[yscon] Summer Hot Lists

[Hoey, Ann]

I just finished listening to A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles (an adult book). It was wonderful, and my book group all loved it as well (and that’s rarely the case!)

One more vote here for The Hate U Give.  Also All American Boys has been pretty buzzy here and is supposed to be fantastic.  Adult stuff is so difficult to say!  I’m excited for the new David Sedaris book though—Theft By Finding.

I am listening to The Hate U Give and it is incredible!  I also just listened to Today Will Be Different by Maria Semple (adult book) and it was pretty funny.

I feel out of the loop on adult books too! Personally, I’m looking forward to reading Animals Strike Curious Poses by Elena Passarello – nonfiction essays about famous animals. And for YA, American Street by Ibi Zoboi-came out in February. About a girl and her mom trying to start a new life in Detroit but her mom is detained by immigration. And here’s a good looking list for summer YA books https://www.buzzfeed.com/farrahpenn/here-are-21-ya-books-youll-want-to-blow-your-money-on-this?utm_term=.jsBR5AbKY
I’ll definitely be adding a lot of those to my to-read list!

What a great teacher gift!

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas is still really hot in RI – the holds lists are a mile long.
I don’t know if it’s hot (I’m so out of touch with grown-up books) but I’m looking forward to Saints for All Occasions by J. Courtney Sullivan.

Ok, this is a fun one:

I gave my son’s teacher a gift certificate to our local indie bookstore and wrote on it to use it for something fun. She emailed me to thank me this morning, and asked for the hottest adult and hottest YA book of the summer. Yikes, just one of each?!

So I’m challenging the collective brain—what is your one hottest adult and one hottest YA pick of the summer? (I think she means new and what everyone’s reading right now…)
