It's hard to believe classes start next week for some of the schools in our region. Summer itself still has more than a month to run, providing ample opportunities to settle into a relaxing position with a good book.
Summer Reads, our warm-season visits with independent bookstores, continue with Mendocino Book Company. Toni Wheeler, a longtime bookseller at the store in Ukiah, is our guide.
We get her list of the shop favorites for this summer.
Toni's list:
- Ashton Hall, by Lauren Belfer
- Every Summer After, by Carley Fortune
- The Marlow Murder Club, by Robert Thorogood
- The Wild Hunt, by Emma Seckel
- The Deadly Hours, an anthology by multiple authors
