Goodreads asked M.K. Tod:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

M.K. Tod My summer reading is always a combination of books read for pleasure, for book clubs I belong to and for research. On my bedside table I have The Churchill Factor by Boris Johnson, History's People by Margaret Mitchell, and A Passion for Paris by David Downie. On the book club list are titles like The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead, Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult, and A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles (loved his Rules of Civility). If I get a chance, I'll add Elizabeth Chadwick's concluding novel in her trilogy on Eleanor of Aquitaine - The Autumn Throne. The Stars are Fire by Anita Shreve (I've tried to emulate her style) and Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. I'm also looking for contemporary fiction set in Hong Kong if anyone has a suggestion! What are you reading?
