Indie Booksellers Target Summer's Best Reads

By Susan Stamberg

Published May 30, 2011 at 2:20 AM MDT

Some of the best summers are those filled with journeys, reunions and good food. We hope that all three figure into your summer plans this year. As it happens, those themes also happen to be featured prominently in some of the books that our trusty independent booksellers are recommending for your summer reading pleasure.

This year's warm-weather picks come from Lucia Silva, the book buyer at Portrait of a Bookstore in Studio City, Calif; Daniel Goldin of Boswell Book Co. in Milwaukee, Wisc; and Rona Brinlee of The BookMark in Atlantic Beach, Fla. Happy reading!
