I’m craving a beach read. A summer book NOT about WASPS. A summer community we haven’t read about before. #MSWL

Are you ready for an adventure? These 9 novels will take you on a journey into the unknown. spr.ly/6014D5ucO pic.twitter.com/HW0hgx05CU

How could I forget to #MSWL about adventure novels? Or at least recently. MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN was my childhood jam and I about fainted with joy when I read Alex Garland’s THE BEACH in college. So send me your adventures! #amquerying #pubtip
