Goodreads asked Fran Hawthorne:

What books are on your summer reading list this year?

Fran Hawthorne Next summer? This is only February; I'll be reading at least a dozen books before summer. However, I already know a few titles that will certainly be on my summer list: My friend Leigh Stein's second novel, "Self Care," will be out in June. I'm looking forward to reviewing Rachel Beanland's debut, "Florence Adler Swims Forever," because of its theme of Jewish life just before the Holocaust, which ties in with the second-generation Holocaust theme of my debut novel, "The Heirs." And I'll probably still be reading Robert Caro's "The Power Broker" for my New-York Historical Society book club.
