Editorial: Summer Reading

As the weather gets warmer and office workers become less productive, a lovely thing called summer reading starts. Summer reading is a wonderful mix of intellect and guilty pleasure. It makes for richer conversations (instead of summarizing a rerun of a prime-time drama), while at the same time, giving you a reason to hide your book in the sand (Nora Robert readers).

Despite choices in low-brow novels, summer reading is like a diet soda or Lean Cuisine "comfort food," you look proactive just partaking. While you might be caught up in a romance between a victorian housewife and a victorian houseboy, at least you're not reading People or passed out in your neighbor's kiddie-pool. So, fear not, airplane novels are still novels and who else will read Silver Flame?*

Drop off your kids at summer school, leave work early, ignore pending student loans, sunbathe it what you call a swimsuit (but is actually a bra), and pickup a piece of trashy steamy writing at its finest. Honestly, if you haven't read something from the historical romance or romance genre, you need to. Read it aloud on a car trip or to yourself under the covers...

Enjoy!
